Polarities of structure and change in urbansystems : a Canadian example
Urbansystems and the diversity of urban development
Canada ; Large city ; Urban change ; Urban function ; Urban growth ; Urban hierarchy ; Urbansystem
Canada ; Changement urbain ; Croissance urbaine ; Fonction urbaine ; Hiérarchie urbaine ; Métropole ; Système urbain
The paper examines some of the contradictory assertions in the research literature regarding the on-going reorganization of urbansystems through a detailed empirical analysis of the changing properties of the Canadian urbansystem. The analysis
begins with a conceptual framework that recognizes alternative logics and trajectories of change in urbansystems. The paper demonstrates the diversity and rapidity of change, and the indeterminant and contradictory nature of many of the relationships

The present aspect of urbanization and structural change of urbansystems in Japan
Counterurbanization ; Japan ; Urban growth ; Urbansystem ; Urbanization ; Working population
Contre-urbanisation ; Croissance urbaine ; Japon ; Population active ; Système urbain ; Urbanisation
The purpose of this paper is to clarify the present aspect and recent structural change of Japanese urbansystems. To analyse this point, the A. used the sales and service workers of 1985. He classified municipalities with more than 3,000
In the previous literature, the urbansystem is a result of corporate hierarchy. In reality, however, the urbansystem is also a determinant of allocation of branch offices. In this paper, the optimal allocation of branch offices is analyzed within
a given urbansystem. This system is Christaller's system, which is identifiable. - (KA)

On transition rules of complex structures in one-dimensional cellular automata : some implications for urban change
Model ; Space time ; Spatial system ; System ; Urban change ; Urban geography ; Urbansystem
Changement urbain ; Espace-temps ; Géographie urbaine ; Modèle ; Système ; Système spatial ; Système urbain
The cellular automaton represents a hypothetical linear city as an analytic tool to investigate possible transition rules and to draw some implications for urban change.

Cities of hunger. Urban food systems in developing countries
Urbanization and vulnerable urban groups in Gaborone/Botswana
Botswana ; Food security ; Housing ; Land ; Living conditions ; Living standard ; Poverty ; Urbanization
This article examines two factors which are of major importance for urban poverty groups in Botswana: the costs the urban poor have to pay for housing, and the role assets like cattle and land play as safety elements in the urban livelihood system.

Chine ; Développement urbain ; Géographie urbaine ; Morphologie urbaine ; Recherche ; Structure urbaine ; Système urbain ; Urbanisation
The paper focuses on systematic and overall review of literatures on China's urban geography in recent years. Attention is particularly paid on the progress in new themes and generalization of major arguments.
Harbour ; River transport ; Sea transport ; Transport ; Transport system ; Transportation geography ; Urban development
Développement urbain ; Géographie des transports ; Port ; Système de transports ; Transport ; Transport fluvial ; Transport maritime
The water transport/ urban development interface is considered against the background of factors involved in urban transport systems in the context of the broad field of transport geography. A typology is introduced to distinguish between land-based
and water-based forms of transport, and between inter-and intra-urbansystems.
