A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Shenzhen has implemented polycentric urban planning since it founded. However, it is not clear how the spatial structure of Shenzhen is developing. Based on the mobile phone data, we measure Shenzhen’s spatial structure in 2019 according to the concentration of employment and residence. The results show that: (1) Shenzhen’s spatial structure is highly polycentric; (2) in terms of residence, Shenzhen has formed a “2+2+1” polycentric structure: “Futian-Luohu,” “Longhua” two main centers, “Bao’an,” “Qianhai” two subcenters, and “Buji” one group center; and (3) in terms of employment, Shenzhen has formed a polycentric structure of “2+1+1”: two main centers of “Futian-Luohu” and “Qianhai,” one subcenter of Longhua, and “aviation city” one group center. It is found that urban planning has played an important role in the formation of urban spatial structure in Shenzhen by comparing the results with the master planning of Shenzhen.
