Globalization and technological revolution and disruption have given way to the emergence of new scales of urbanization. As a result, the urban is increasingly regionalized – if not unbound, its system is increasingly poly centered and networked, its organization is increasingly multilayered and multiscaled. This track invites those interested in exchanging ideas, cases, and experiences that contribute to the understanding of and planning responses to these new trends of glocal and regional urbanization. The critical phenomena discussed include but are not limited to city-regionalization, metropolitanization, mega-urbanization, megapolitanization, megaregionalization, and super-corridorization. We also promote topics addressing inner-city revitalization and peripheral growth and expansion such as suburbanization, extended urbanization, peri-urbanization, rural-urban interaction, and interplace diffusion and in-between cityness resulting in the proliferation of new spatial forms such as industrial district, residential town, the capital city, economic zones, transport, and logistic hub, and virtual city.
