The Roepke Lecture in Economic Geography Urban Restructuring from a Demographic Perspective
批评近期研究过度强调城市重构概念,低估了空间人口学在理解城市与区域空间格局中的作用,并以洛杉矶地区为例说明社会空间变化的复杂性。
"The central argument of this paper is that recent research has overemphasized the notions of urban restructuring and undervalued the role of spatial demographics in understanding urban and [regional] spatial patterns. The paper examines the notions embedded in urban restructuring and suggests that a focus on several elements of demographic processes is an equally important component of understanding urban and [regional] spatial structure. A specific discussion of the Los Angeles region indicates that there is a high level of complexity in social-spatial change. Social-spatial change is not simply explained by reference to an unspecified urban restructuring."
