Regional development, power and topological reach: to reach out or fold in?
研究了瑞典两个地区与斯德哥尔摩的权力关系，一个经济下滑、一个增长，用“向外延伸”和“向内折叠”概念解释“借用规模”和“集聚阴影”的发生与否。
This paper discusses the growing regional socio-economic disparity in Sweden and investigates two regions’ power relationship with the economically and politically dominant Stockholm region: one region with a negative economic trajectory and the other with a positive economic development over 25 years. The conceptual framework is based on the topography/topology nexus, using the key concepts of ‘reach out’ and ‘fold in’ in different resources. To enrich this framework, we incorporate two concepts in regional planning: ‘borrowed size’ and ‘agglomeration shadow’. The findings suggest that ‘reach out’ and ‘fold in’ explain why ‘borrowed size’ and ‘agglomeration shadow’ take place, or do not.
