TL;DR: Estimation of three sets of regression models for five overlapping samples of the largest metropolitan areas in the United States and five mutually exclusive segments of the labor force shows that the finding of a significant linkage between internal migration and immigration depends critically on the empirical experiment used.
Abstract: "This paper investigates the relationship between the internal migration of native-born workers and flows of immigrants to the United States using the 1980 and 1990 U.S. Census Bureau microsamples.... Based on the estimation of three sets of regression models for five overlapping samples of the largest metropolitan areas in the United States and five mutually exclusive segments of the labor force, this analysis shows that the finding of a significant linkage between internal migration and immigration depends critically on the empirical experiment used. In direct opposition to previous published research, we conclude that net migration of the native born for metropolitan areas is either positively related or unrelated to immigration. Our models show that the net migration loss of unskilled native workers from metropolitan areas is probably a function of those cities' population size rather than immigrant flow to them. We conclude that the net migration loss of native-born workers from large metropolitan areas is more likely the result of industrial restructuring than of competition with immigrants."

TL;DR: The physical development of the JMA and the BMA is characterized by the formation of an urban belt from Jakarta to Bandung of about 200 km, reflecting a growing mega-urban region marked by a mixture of rural and urban activities and blurred rural-urban distinction.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the spatial distribution of job openings and spatial variation in job accessibility in the Boston metropolitan area and found that despite decades of employment decentralization, job openings suitable for less-educated job seekers are still relatively concentrated in the central city.
Abstract: This article presents a study of spatial distribution of job openings and spatial variation in job accessibility in the Boston Metropolitan Area. The most striking finding is that despite decades of employment decentralization, job openings suitable for less-educated job seekers are still relatively concentrated in the central city. This is due to the fact that the great majority of job openings are vacancies resulting from turnover, the spatial concentration of which reflects the spatial concentration of current employment. A related finding is that for a given transportation mode, less-educated job seekers who reside in the central city still have, on average, somewhat better access to job openings than those who reside at the periphery of the metropolitan area. However, accessibility differentials among locations are small as compared to accessibility differentials between transportation modes. For job seekers who can travel by car, the majority of residential locations will allow them to have...

TL;DR: This article examined a new chapter in the evolution of the entrepreneurial city; one distinguished by its reliance on Richard Florida's thesis about the relationship between the creative class and economic growth, using Milwaukee, Wisconsin as a representative case study, and scrutinized the actions of image-makers, planners, and municipal actors, who together orchestrated a new round of urban promotional activities and planning strategies.
