“…According to the latest figures from the United Nations Population Division (2021), 83% of the United States and 75% of European Union countries are urbanised. Within this, we can observe how the BENELUX countries -Belgium (98%), Netherlands (93%), Luxembourg (92%) -record much higher percentages; a reflection of the variously named Eurodelta / Am-Brus-Twerp megaregion of northwest Europe (Florida et al, 2009;Hall and Pain, 2006). If megaregion formation is driven by urbanisation, today, the focus is firmly on China.…”

“…From Geddes (1915) to Gottmann (1964), though to Faludi (Faludi & Waterhout, 2002) and Florida et al (2009), the history of megaregions in urban planning is strong. And yet, one of the criticisms of contemporary megaregional research is that research all too often forgets this history.…”

“…Megaregions are the winners. Being 'on' the map of megaregions is to be associated with the boosterist claims that these are the place you need to live and work (Florida, 2009). In China, the 14th FYP explicitly reinforces this message when stating how the focus will be on 'areas that possess economic development advantages, such as central cities and city clusters [chéngshì qún]' as the 'key drivers of quality-oriented development' (Chapter 30 -Section II).…”

Arguing with megaregions: Learning from China’schéngshì qún

The rise of megaregions is championed by those arguing that the 21st century will be dominated by vast expanses of transmetropolitan urban landscapes. Many argue that we are living in a ‘world’ and an ‘age’ of megaregions, where megaregions are both competitive territories par excellence and an important scale for urban planning. Nowhere does the spotlight shine more brightly than on China’s megaregions ( chéngshì qún). In this paper we examine the new planning vision for megaregions in China’s 14th Five Year Plan (2021–25). We trace continuities and discontinuities from the 11th, 12th and 13th FYPs to emphasise the importance of adopting a strong spatial and temporal approach to researching megaregions. This analysis is then used to outline an agenda for researching urban China and megaregionalism through the lens of chéngshì qún. This research agenda takes the form of eight statements which are presented as modern theses for megaregionalism. These are then countered by eight antitheses, alternative views which provide an agenda for future research into chéngshì qún, the changing dynamics of urban China and megaregionalism more generally. Tying everything together is a claim for more synthesis.

“…From an industry cluster perspective, medium and large cities often play an essential role as resource hub, involving both creativity and entrepreneurial and management skills and resources (Lorenzen & Frederiksen, 2008), which can facilitate cultural production and innovation in arts and cultural organizations through (1) knowledge spillovers from neighboring or "related variety" industries (Browning, 2005;Frenken et al, 2007); (2) positive externalities to reduce the costs of contracts, transactions and coordination (Lorenzen & Frederiksen, 2008); and (3) the provision of a conducive climate to attract creative talent and foster a creative class (Florida, 2002). In other words, the closer to big cities where the creative community is located (Florida, 2008), the more likely it is that arts and cultural organizations will be engaged in innovation.…”

Exploring the Evidence-Based Driving Factors of Innovation in Arts and Cultural Organizations

Innovation in arts and cultural sectors is an emerging study. Exploring and identifying driving factors of innovation by arts and cultural organizations can help to understand the implications for innovation management and thus, strengthening the competitiveness of arts and cultural sectors. But the existing literature on this topic usually is subject to some limitations due to the shortage of empirical evidence and overemphasis on technological innovation. To overcome it, this article explored evidence-based determinants of innovation in museums organizations, based on survey data and statistical approach; furthermore, it also extended the scope of innovation from technological to cultural and organizational dimensions. Our findings provide empirical evidence for existing theoretical propositions—some propositions are supported and the others are not. Based on these conclusions, some implications are developed for innovation management in museum organizations.

America's urban futures: In and beyond the city

This article assesses the changing dynamics of urbanization and urbanism in the contemporary US through three lenses. First, it examines economic shifts spurred by the rise of the knowledge economy, which position higher education institutions (HEIs) as drivers of innovation and urban growth. Second, it draws attention to new metropolitan geographies. Gentrifying inner cities and the suburbanization of race, poverty, and risk indicate a need for HEIs to reappraise their institutional structures, pedagogical practices, and responsibilities as urban place‐makers. Third, the article considers (post‐)pandemic futures and calls for racial justice to frame the city as both the setting and stake of social justice movements. The analysis pays particular attention to how these socio‐spatial transformations affect the landscape of post‐secondary urban education. The result is a contradictory portrait of an urban America with diverse futures forged at the intersection of rising inequality, segregation, and a desire for a more inclusive and just future.
