“…2 Across the OECD, fiscal devolution is correlated with infrastructure investment where institutional quality is high, (Bartolini et al, 2016). Arbabi et al (2018) present empirical evidence for a link between economic underperformance and inadequate mobility for England and Wales at the intra-and inter-city scale. They suggest that improvements in mobility at the smaller scale within cities initially would help to facilitate much greater improvements at the inter-city scale.…”

The disparity between the least and most productive regions in the UK is wide by the standards of many other Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) economies. An important factor is the concentration of public investment around London. The appraisal process for infrastructure investment projects follows the methodology set out in the HM Treasury's Green Book. It is argued that this methodology has reinforced the regional imbalance; that recent changes are unlikely by themselves to redress the London bias in infrastructure; and that infrastructure investments also need to be based on a strategic view about economic development for the whole of the UK.

“…Scaling characteristics may depend on the definition of urban areas in terms of population size and population density, and even on the size of a city measured in terms of residents and of working population size [18]. Therefore, linear scaling can be found [19,20] in situations where other researchers find superlinear scaling [13]. Different definitions of cities can even lead to changing the scaling exponent from superlinear to sublinear as is found for transport-related CO 2 emissions in US cities [21].…”

Urban scaling, the superlinear increase of socio-economic measures with increasing population, is a well-researched phenomenon. This article is focused on socio-economic performance scaling, which could possibly be driven by increasing returns of the size and density of interaction networks. If this is indeed the case, we should also find that spatial barriers to interaction affect scaling and cause local performance deviations. Possible barring effects of municipal boundaries are important from the perspective of urban and regional governance. We test the hypothesis of barring effects by correlating municipal boundaries with the structure of commuter networks within a large densely urbanized region, the Randstad in The Netherlands. The measured impacts of these boundaries are correlated with local employment-scaling deviations. Applying spatially weighted modelling techniques, we find that municipal borders have significant effects on inter-municipal commuting and indicate these effects on the map. The results show particularly significant correlations along dividing lines between large urban agglomerations and rural communities. The southern part of the Randstad is more fragmented by such dividing lines than the northern part, which could partly explain the diverging economic development between the two parts.

Objetivo: Investigar as medidas de desempenho urbano mais apropriadas para uma gestão urbana orientada a stakeholders.Método: Este estudo fez uma síntese da pesquisa de 47 artigos extraídos da Scopus.Originalidade/Relevância: Haja visto que medidas de desempenho urbano são úteis para satisfazer as necessidades dos stakeholders da gestão urbana, a originalidade deste estudo é a proposição de uma série de medidas de desempenho urbano para acadêmicos e profissionais. Assim, estratégias urbanas baseadas em tais medidas podem criar valor para stakeholders urbanos.Resultados: A principal contribuição é propor medidas de desempenho urbano baseadas na literatura de Estudos Urbanos, as quais permitem avaliar o quão uma gestão é orientada aos stakeholders, são elas: “Environmental, Economic, and Social Sustainability, Global Cities, and Governance” (EESSGG). Uma gestão urbana baseada na EESSGG permite aos governos locais criarem valor para stakeholders e formar redes urbanas de recursos técnicos e humanos, promovendo o desenvolvimento urbano. A gestão urbana é mais complexa e não tem fins lucrativos. Por isso, EESSGG é mais apropriado para a gestão urbana do que o clássico empresarial “Environmental, Social, and Governance” (ESG).Contribuições Sociais/Gerenciais: EESSGG é uma ferramenta eficaz para planejadores urbanos e formuladores de políticas públicas promoverem uma gestão urbana orientada aos stakeholders, e consequentemente, uma governança urbana democrática.
