The goal of this paper is to provide a statistically based definition of employment subcenters
for multicentric urban areas. In particular, we examine the shape of the employment density …

Asian mega cities have experienced rapid population growth and continue to grow.
Urbanization in those areas is proceeding differently from the patterns of city growth …
