Defining city-region boundaries for governance or policy requires robust data analysis reflecting a conceptualisation of city-regions. Geddes introduced the concept to England and both fundamental contingent features he identified remain valid. Subsequent work has not clarified issues raised by one these—whether cities dominate region definitions—here structures review definition methods. Following historical failure proposals English geography—which ascribes key role in those failures...

The theoretical issues of an earlier paper by the authors concerning daily urban systems are now followed problems applying this concept to British data. complexities system pose difficulties for any approach which prohibits overlapping areas, multinodal regions, and recognition differing travel patterns social groups. No single, simple algorithm can cope consistently both with major metropolitan regions peripheral areas. To overcome these problems, additional concepts ‘self-containment’...

ABSTRACT In the urban resurgence accompanying growth of knowledge economy, second‐order cities appear to be losing out principal city, especially where latter is much larger and benefits from substantially greater agglomeration economies. The view that any city can make itself attractive creative talent seems at odds with idea a country having just one ‘escalator region’ rate career progression faster, for in‐migrants. This paper takes case England, its highly primate city‐size distribution,...

This paper uses evidence from the Longitudinal Study for England and Wales to examine influence on occupational advancement of city-region residence (an escalator effect) relocation between city-regions elevator effect). It shows both effects be substantively important, though less so than sector employment. Elevator are found associated with moves slacker tighter regional labour markets. Escalator effects, other hand, linked in larger urban agglomerations, not specifically London, but also...

Boundaries can be defined by applying a number of alternative techniques to various types information; the choices made on these decisions should reflect purpose for which boundaries will used.

First, multidimensional nature modern are outlined. Three established regionalisation procedure then reviewed,...

Background: Breast cancer (bca) is the type of most frequently diagnosed among women in Canada. categorized into various molecular subtypes by expression estrogen receptor (er), progesterone (pgr), and her2 (human epidermal growth factor 2). Currently, Canada has no national registry with epidemiology data subtype. Thus, we conducted a study to determine incidence, survival, clinicopathologic characteristics bca subtype [triple negative breast (tnbc); her2+; hormone receptor–positive (hr+),...
