It is argued that the spatial patterns of place-ties collectively held by potential metropolitan-to-nonmetropolitan migrants are broader than those held by potential monmetropolitan-to-metropolitan migrants. Consistent with this argument
, it is hypothesized that metropolitan migration fields are asymmetrical, i.e., out-migration fields are more cosmopolitan than in-migration fields for the period 1965-1970 within the United States. The hypothesis is accepted generally. It is concluded that the micro
Immigrant underemployment across US metropolitanareas : from a spatial perspective

This article examines the immigrant underemployment across US metropolitanareas from a spatial perspective. Results suggest that the probability of individual labour force’s underemployment within any metropolitanarea is highly contingent
on metropolitan labour market characteristics including ethnic diversity, the proportion of its foreign-born population, the economic structure, and the level of educational attainment of the labour force, in addition to individual characteristics.

This article uses local indicators of spatial association (LISA) and other spatial analysis techniques to analyze the distribution of centers with high employment density within metropolitanareas. It examines the 359 metropolitanareas across
the United States at three points in time (1990, 2000, and 2010) to provide a spatio-temporal panoramic of urban spatial structure. Our analysis highlights three key findings. (1) The monocentric structure persists in a majority of metropolitanareas: 56.5
% in 1990, 64.1% in 2000, and 57.7% in 2010. (2) The pattern of employment centers remains stable for most metropolitanareas: the number of centers remained the same for 74.9% of metropolitanareas between 1990 and 2000 and for 85.2% between 2000 and 2010
. (3) Compared with monocen-tric metropolitanareas, polycentric metros are larger and moredense, with higher per-capita incomes and lower poverty rates.
Trend in office supply and the growth of business districts in the Tokyo metropolitanarea
This paper aims to analyze the role of office supply in attracting office functions and promoting the growth of business districts in the Tokyo metropolitanarea, by considering the trends in office development, office markets and the location
Changes in commuting flows in metropolitanareas, Japan : effects of cohort size and female labour
The purpose of this study is to consider the changes in commuting flow in the three major metropolitanareas in Japan in terms of cohort size and female labour using longitudinal data on residential, occupational and family careers and cohort
The Japanese metropolises have undergone drastic changes over the last 30 years. Their urban structure is acquirring a multiple-nuclei pattern. Despite the relative decline of the central city, the Japanese metropolitanareas do not have severe
Changing segregations patterns by age group in the Tokyo metropolitanarea
The A. tries to describe the residential segregation pattern by age group and their recent change in the Tokyo metropolitanarea, and to explain the effect of migration on forming and altering this pattern. - (SGA)
Spatial segregation trends in the Tel Aviv metropolitanarea, Israel
The A. analyses the segregation among population groups in Israel's Tel Aviv metropolitanarea in the early 1970s. In addition to spatial segregation according to age, socio-economic status and ethnic groups, a unique importance is attached
The linkage between immigration and internal migration in large metropolitanareas in the United States
Large metropolitanareas suffer net losses of internal migrants for reasons other than the flow of immigrants to these localities. The finding of a significant linkage between internal migration and immigration depends on the empirical experiment
used. The models show that the net migration loss of unskilled native workers from metropolitanareas is a function of the cities's population size rather than immigrant flow to them. It is more likely the result of industrial restructuring than
Immigration and internal migration flight from US metropolitanareas: toward a new demographic balkanisation
The larger, ethnically diverse waves of immigration to the US during the 1980s and 1990s affect redistribution dynamics within the country. There are important consequences for broad regions, states and metropolitanareas: the new immigration
and internal migration patterns appear to exacerbe the differences by contributing to a demographic balkanisation. A migration classification of states and metropolitanareas is made (period 1985-90).
The hollowing out of Brazilian metropolitan governance as we know it : restructuring and rescaling the developmental state in metropolitan space
studies, this paper provides an alternative framework to understand the impasse of Brazilian metropolitanareas, which is grounded within a geo-historic reading of the contradictory projects and strategies of the developmental state and the contested
This article examines the hollowing out of Brazilian metropolitan governance through the restructuring and rescaling the developmental state in metropolitan space. Combining the literature on new state spaces and critical Brazilian urban-regional
Research on metropolitan functions : identification and definitions according to the ESPON and alternative approaches
Concept ; Europe ; European Union ; Polycentrism ; Theory ; Urban area
On the basis of some classic and newer identifications and definitions of metropolitan functions, the present paper raises the questions, whether and how empirical studies change theoretical concepts. Is the term ‘metropolitan functions
’ and are the variables described as ‘metropolitan functions’ composed a priori or a posteriori. In the light of these ideas, the Author explores the findings of the two ESPON projects - 1.1.1, on polycentricism of the European urban space, and 1.4.3, which directly
Dimensions of population redistribution in the United States since 1950 in Metropolitan and regional change in the United States.
-metropolitanareas are most dramatic, followed by shifts by size of place, with regional shifts being quite modest.
Temporal shifts in rates of growth utilizing three levels of analysis: regional, metropolitan status and size of place. Deconcentration has occurred at each level of aggregation in recent periods. Shifts in rates of growth of metropolitan and non

are defined based on period of arrival in the US and by age. The spatial geography associated with each arrival cohort is constructed with respect to areas of relative concentration within the metropolitanarea.
Using data from the 5 per cent Public Use Microdata Sample, 1990, the paper compares settlement patterns of immigrant arrival cohorts within metropolitan Chicago, filtered through the lens of Zelinsky and Lee's heterolocalism framework. Cohorts
Jews in the USA have three main concentrations : the New York metropolitanarea, South Florida and Los Angeles County. Florida has grown the fastest : there the Jewish population (695 000) between Miami and Palm Beach has received many migrants from
Cooperation and networking in metropolitanareas from community of problems to community of common interests in the Warsaw MetropolitanArea
