For centuries, cities have entertained close relationships of various kinds and qualities with their – adjoining or non-contiguous – hinterlands, the latter being structured around zones of agricultural production, transport corridors such as river systems, shipping routes or railway lines, market relations, but also issues of political domination, or landownership. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the blurring and re-negotiation of city-hinterland-relations under the auspices of fossil-fueled, industrialized and globalized economies and transitions in the energy base of societies became a dominant factor. A variety of new social forms of mobility, such as intra- and interregional migration, daily commuting and tourism, strengthened and at the same time complicated the interwovenness. Taking stock of regional case studies in Austria, Denmark, and Italy, this theme issue reflects on the historically changing relations between cities and rural areas, and on the factors which let cities and their hinterlands appear as a 'region' with a distinct social ecology and with a distinct economic, social and cultural profile. Particular emphasis is to be given to the 'making' and 'unmaking' of regions, the development of market relations over time, the changing framework conditions in terms of political constitution as well as changes in land use and the urbanizing effects of tourism in peripheral regions. Seit Jahrhunderten unterhalten Städte enge und komplexe Beziehungen mit ihrem jeweiligen Hinterland. Strukturiert wurden diese Hinterländer durch Zonen der landwirtschaftlichen Produktion, Verkehrskorridore, Marktbeziehungen, aber auch durch politische Dominanz oder Grundeigentum. Im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert wurden die Stadt-Hinterland-Beziehungen unter den Vorzeichen fossilenergetischer, industrialisierter und globalisierter Ökonomien und Gesellschaften neu verhandelt. Mobilitätsformen wie Migration und Tourismus intensivierten und komplizierten das Beziehungsgefüge. Basierend auf Fallstudien zu Österreich, Dänemark und Italien untersucht das Jahrbuch die sich historisch wandelnden Beziehungen zwischen Städten und ländlichen Gebieten sowie die Produktion sozio-ökonomischer, sozial-ökologischer und kultureller Regionalität.

Despite the fact that the rural commuter belts of cities are major loci of population change, economic growth and dynamic social change within city regions, most research tends to ignore this area while focusing on the built-up city core. However, with the current emphasis on the role of rural areas in policy debates, it is vital to recognize the importance of the 'commuter belt'. By comparing four major European cities (in England, France, Germany and Spain), this book offers the first comparative investigation of the dynamism of city rural hinterlands. It assesses whether rural areas will become effectively integrated into quality of life improvements as a result of their inter-dependencies with cities, focusing on the critical arenas of employment change, housing and service provision. In doing so, it investigates how change in these three fields impact on the quality of life and physical environment of rural hinterlands.

This interdisciplinary book brings together eleven original contributions by scholars in the United Kingdom, continental Europe, America and Japan which represent innovative and important research on the relationship between cities and their hinterlands. They discuss the factors which determined the changing nature of port-hinterland relations in particular, and highlight the ways in which port-cities have interacted and intersected with their different hinterlands as a result of both in- and out-migration, cultural exchange and the wider flow of goods, services and information. Historically, maritime commerce was a powerful driving force behind urbanisation and by 1850 seaports accounted for a significant proportion of the world’s great cities. Ports acted as nodal points for the flow of population and the dissemination of goods and services, but their role as growth poles also affected the economic transformation of both their hinterlands and forelands. In fact, most ports, irrespective of their size, had a series of overlapping hinterlands whose shifting importance reflected changes in trading relations (political frameworks), migration patterns, family networks and cultural exchange. Urban historians have been criticised for being concerned primarily with self-contained processes which operate within the boundaries of individual towns and cities and as a result, the key relationships between cities and their hinterlands have often been neglected. The chapters in this work focus primarily on the determinants of port-hinterland linkages and analyse these as distinct, but interrelated, fields of interaction. Marking a significant contribution to the literature in this field, Port-Cities and their Hinterlands provides essential reading for students and scholars of the history of economics.

This work provides an amalysis of European capital cities and their impact in the early modern period. Capital cities were dynamic and influential, accounting for more than a third of all European city growth during the 16th and 17th centuries. Some were ancient cities, like Paris and London; a number were new expressions of royal power, such as Madrid and Berlin; other were colonial cities, offshoots of state empires, like Dublin or Naples.

The sources of urban agglomeration and the development of the urban system have been studied extensively. Despite the pivotal role of the hinterlands in theories of the development of the urban system, little attention has been paid to the effect of urban agglomeration in a developed, mature economy on growth in the hinterlands. Therefore, this study examines how proximity to urban agglomeration affects contemporary population growth (PopGr) in hinterland U.S. counties. Proximity to urban agglomeration is measured in terms of both distances to higher tiered areas in the urban hierarchy and proximity to market potential (MP). Particular attention is paid to whether periodic changes and trends in underlying conditions (e.g. technology or transport costs) have altered PopGr patterns in the hinterlands and small urban centers. Over the period 1950-2000, we find strong negative growth effects of distances to higher tiered urban areas, with significant, but lesser effects of distance to MP. Further, the costs of distance, if anything, appear to be increasing over time, consistent with a number of recent theories stressing the effect of new technology on the spatial distribution of activity in a mature urban system.

This approachable book in the SAA Press Current Perspectives Series is a comprehensive synthesis of Northwest Mexico from the US border to the Mesoamerican frontier. Filling a vital gap in the regional literature, it serves as an essential reference not only for those interested in the specific history of this area of Mexico but western North America writ large. A period-by-period review of approximately 14,000 years reveals the dynamic connections that knitted together societies inhabiting the Sea of Cortez coast, the Sonoran and Chihuahuan Deserts, and the Sierra Madre Occidental. Networks of interaction spanned these diverse ecological, topographical, and cultural terrains in the millennia following the demise of the megafauna. The authors provide a fresh perspective that refutes depictions of the Northwest as a simple filter or conduit of happenings to the north or south, and they highlight the role local motivations and dynamics played in facilitating continental-scale processes.

"Although cities are often conceived as existing in isolation from nature, cities are inherently connected to non-urban ecosystems and cause ecological impacts in rural areas around the world. The demand for most ecosystem services (ES) in cities far outweighs local capacity to produce them, leading cities to appropriate resources from ecosystems outside the city boundary, shaping ecosystems both nearby and far away. Some ES can be provided locally from within a city or nearby (e.g., air purification, recreation) while other ES are sometimes exploited remotely from a rural hinterland (e.g., food, carbon storage). Yet the links between the ES demand of urban residents and the resulting impacts on ecosystems at multiple scales remains obscured by the sometimes large spatial distance between areas of ES supply and areas of ES demand. The aim of this thesis is to draw on concepts from urban ecology and the ES framework to better understand the ecological connections between cities and their hinterlands in an increasingly interconnected world. In Chapter 1, I review how urban and rural areas interact through urban expansion onto rural lands, the altering of ecological processes due to the presence of built infrastructure, and the supply and demand of ES. I discuss the utility of the ES framework for implementing spatially-explicit models that track the provision of ES from areas of supply to the cities where ES are consumed. Finally I outline the need for cities to take responsibility for their distal ecological impacts, and the need for ES science to do a better job of making these connections clearer to decision-makers and urban consumers. In Chapter 2, I provide a global survey of ES supply in hinterlands around the world. I map eight ES globally (crop provisioning, water provisioning, livestock provisioning, carbon sequestration, carbon storage, water quality, air quality, and nature recreation), and compare how these ES are provided within 200 kilometers of 768 major city (population > 500,000) centers. Using an affinity propagation algorithm, I cluster these landscapes to reveal the seven archetypes of ES bundles that best represent the ES production in hinterlands. I examine how the distribution of these bundle archetypes relates to the distribution of socio-economic and biophysical variables using a multinomial logit model. I found that biophysical variables (e.g., temperature, elevation) play an unexpectedly small role in predicting the ES bundle in a given hinterland. Instead, socio-economic variables like wealth and population size strongly predict the type of ES bundle produced in a hinterland. I found that the wealthiest hinterlands are specialists in regulating ES production while the poorest and most populated hinterlands are specialists in food production and have very low levels of regulating and cultural ES. Since many provisioning ES are obtainable by trade and many regulating and cultural ES are not, wealthier cities have access to more ES from the global hinterland relative to poorer cities. In addition, wealthier cities tend to exploit a larger proportion of their ES remotely and are likely driving excess ecological degradation in distant hinterlands through trade. I show that, although urban residents may feel isolated from rural areas, cities interact with rural ecosystems in multiple ways, and at multiple scales. Furthermore, the supply of ES is inequitably distributed amongst hinterlands that surround major cities. Sustainable cities should account for their distal ecological impacts in addition to their ecological impacts nearby. Overall, these results emphasize the need for multi-scale and collaborative governance of urban ES to achieve an equitable and sustainable use of the planet's resources. Although cities drive ecological degradation, cities can also be part of the solution by harnessing their potential for urban innovation to create transitions toward positive outcomes." --

Port cities played a critical role in urban development, whether in Europe, North America, or the developing world. Even in the pre-industrial period, trade was an important factor which affected the pattern of urban expansion and ports, after capital cities, often registered the greatest growth rates. In fact, maritime commerce was a powerful driving force behind urbanization. But despite the rapid growth of port-cities from the early-modern period onwards, comparatively little research has been undertaken on port-hinterland relations. This book collects important new research from key scholars in the United Kingdom, continental Europe, America and Japan. They focus on the determinants of port-hinterland linkages and the significance of trade, migration and cultural exchange as distinct, but interrelated, fields of interaction between ports and their hinterlands. The book addresses four key themes: the political framework of port-hinterland relations, the economic linkages between port-cities and their hinterlands, the migration hinterlands of port-cities as well as their cultural hinterlands.
