Border Urbanism: Transdisciplinary Perspectives, Quazi Mahtab Zaman,Greg G. Hall, Editör, Springer Nature, Zug, ss.55-81, 2023
There are different typological approaches to demarcation and classification of boundaries in discourses about borders. One of the classifications is based on the components used to determine the boundaries, such as natural or human-made. Regarding boundary characteristics, the main issue is whether it divides two sides or connects them. In addition, there are other considerations for the relations between two sides of the boundary: alienation, coexistence or integration. Although there are some classifications for paired border cities, such as partitioned or duplicated, typological studies of cities located on the borders and frontiers are lacking. Worldwide, there are approximately 300 border towns, and approximately half of them are paired border cities. In this study, paired border cities and their urban networks are examined. Internal and external connections, functional differences using land-use decisions and cross-border relations are analysed to indicate the structural relationships between the cities. The most critical examples of each type of paired border city are selected. Finally, the main effects of boundaries on the different paired border cities worldwide are analysed and mapped.
