- Ann Macheras & Michael Stanley (2017): Diversification and Specialization Across Urban Areas
While each of these urban areas has a unique identity related to a particular sector of the economy, each is also, in fact, very diverse in its industrial composition. Urban areas differ in the extent to which they have a diverse set of industries or, conversely, the degree to which they are very specialized in a particular industry. Richmond Fed analysis supports previous research findings on the extent to which diversification or specialization varies with the employment size of urban areas. ... These benefits, or "economies," help to explain why some urban areas grow more than others. This article examines some of these important concepts, provides relevant data for urban areas across the United States, and describes how diverse or specialized Fifth District urban areas are relative to other urban areas.

RePEc:hal:journl:halshs-00145303 Save to MyIDEAS - Jason Brown & Colton Tousey (2020): Population Turnover and the Growth of Urban Areas
Population turnover may also lead to better matches between employer and employee, an important factor in the growth of urban areas. ... Brown and Colton Tousey examine the relationship between population turnover and overall population growth across urban areas of various sizes from 2000 to 2017. They find that larger urban areas tend to have higher population turnover and that higher initial levels of turnover are correlated with faster population growth over subsequent decades. Their findings, which are consistent with other studies showing economic activity increasingly concentrating in larger urban areas, suggest that areas with small populations and lower levels of labor market adjustment face greater economic challenges.
RePEc:fip:fedker:87683 Save to MyIDEAS - Vanhatalo, Jaana & Partanen, Jenni (2022): Exploring the spectrum of urban area key figures using data from Finland and proposing guidelines for delineation of urban areas
Urban area definitions are commonly used worldwide to reflect countries’ urban population percentages. ... The difference is even greater in the case of urban area ratio and population densities of urban areas between the two main categories. The results prove that definitions based on LAU areas cannot illustrate urban areas and their densities coherently. In light of a literature review on certain relational urban area delineation methods and the case study, desirable characteristics for the delineation of urban areas were highlighted. Consequently, a constant, structured evaluation of urbanity measurements and their underlying logic is necessary to enable unambiguous discourse on urban area in urban sciences.

This paper follows Hochman, Pines and Thisse (1995) in portraying metropolitan areas as a complex of spatial clubs. Adopting this perspective, the paper characterizes the role of urbanization economies in the agglomeration of non-residential activities inside metropolitan areas.

We develop a new dartboard methodology to delineate urban areas using detailed information about building location, which we implement using a map of all buildings in France. ... We define as urban any area with statistically significant excess building density. Within urban areas, extensions to our approach allow us to distinguish 'core' urban pixels and detect centres and subcentres.
