Yeah, I agree. Honestly, NY is hard because of it's polycentricity—actual center would probably be somewhere like 14th St that is neither in Midtown or the Financial District.
City Hall is an old measuring stick (like Charing Cross) from back when it was the media center, home to every newspaper.

Oooh, I like that idea.
However polycentricity has its role too. ( Elanor Ostram’s findings worth considering)

-> I realized that this concept is present in Plato and Aristotle as the cause of imbalance (and, therefore, change in being?). I kind of see that now as a way to express the dynamics of the mimetic of beings (as balance for stability) of henadic polycentricity (not sure if I'm making myself clear.)

Mortals in SOFLOC might tell stories about their gods warring or making alliances, but in truth, the gods exist in a harmonious state of polycentricity, each one encompassing all things, including each other, in their own unique, individual ways. There are no real factions among them. 🧵 #MythAugust

Today I want to hear about different factions among your gods, if any!
Don't just list the factions; tell me their relationship. Do they get along, or are they enemies? As usual, feel free to interpret this question as broadly as you want!

I think I used too many words to say something simple: emphasis on "clean" not "accidentally". This horizontal vs vertical distinction between polycentricity and multi-level governance feels really clean, and I was excited to find it pop out of my head fully formed.

I just realized I've accidentally been cleanly distinguishing "multilevel governance" and "polycentricity", with the tacit definition that the first is about vertically overlapping jurisdictions and the second is about horizontally overlapping jurisdictions.

Okay, but then all the Rhine-Ruhr urban cores with Stadtbahns have very high rail usage per capita - the region's weaker rail usage is in the suburbs and a lot of that is polycentricity favoring cars plus a weaker S-Bahn network.

NRW here unfortunately has the issue that is has two very large Urban areas (Core Ruhr, Cologne) which are not its capital and thus priorization is really difficult, especially with the Ruhr polycentricity.

Borderline, but more likely substantive I think. There’s a bit in his 2022 CLJ article about the substantive requirements being those which makes it more difficult for MPs to apply their own judgement - you could argue this isn’t met here, but I think it misses the polycentricity of a lot of Bills.

Bradford isn't currently any sort of rival CBD.
I think the polycentricity is overplayed. It's two valleys with a string of towns and cities in each and some small hills between.
It isn't some mindbending puzzle with no solution (unless you're authoring the Redcliffe-Maud report).

I liked the section on how someone living a life linked with a God who is not their Leader-God can be seen as an offering of your Leader-God to that God, one divine individual recognising another divine individual.
It shows the Polycentricity and multiplicity starts with the Gods.
