Navigating urban complexity: Area delimitation in transport policy and statistical modelling

This book explores the critical role of urban area delimitation in shaping transportation policy, focusing on its impact on the accuracy of econometric models in polycentric regions. As cities face increasing challenges like suburbanization and spatial complexity, this research sheds light on the often-overlooked process of delimitation. Using the Metropolis GZM as a case study, it offers insights for urban planners, policymakers, and transportation specialists, blending interdisciplinary research with practical findings to highlight how delimitation can influence the future of urban development and transportation strategies.
