以荷兰和德国城市地区为例的基于集聚的论点一直是在英格兰北部倡导城际交通战略的主要推动力。我们采用了一个异速增长的城市模型，调查了这些交通主导的集聚战略的适用性和可转移性，以解决英格兰地区经济表现不佳的问题。这是通过使用在不同空间尺度上定义的城市单位对荷兰和德国以及英格兰和威尔士的三个城市区域和整个城市网络的规模-成本效益平衡进行的比较研究。尽管我们的结果支持将三个城市网络进行比较，而不考虑空间规模，但对特定城市区域的比较表明，生产率、移动基础设施和城市密度之间的相互作用更加微妙。
Agglomeration-based arguments citing Dutch and German city regions have been a primary driver in advocating intercity transport strategies in the north of England. We adopt an allometric urban model investigating the applicability and transferability of these transport-led agglomerative strategies promoted to address England’s regional economic underperformance. This is undertaken through a comparative study of the size–cost performance balance of three city regions and the overall urban networks in the Netherlands and Germany, and England and Wales by using city units defined at different spatial scales. Although our results support a case for better mobility and transport comparing the three urban networks regardless of the spatial scales, comparisons of specific city regions indicate a more nuanced interplay of productivity, mobility infrastructure and urban density.
