City-Region Studies

City-Region Studies examine how cities and their surrounding areas interact and function as interconnected systems. It looks at urban centers and nearby regions as a whole, considering factors like transportation, economics, housing, and social dynamics. This approach helps understand how regional development, policies, and infrastructure influence overall growth, quality of life, and sustainability. By studying these relationships, planners and policymakers can make better decisions to improve urban and regional living conditions, promote balanced development, and address challenges like congestion, inequality, and environmental impact.
