Project description
With the intensification of informatization, the emergence of the e-retailing transaction between cities provides
a new perspective to understand the spatial patterns of urban networks in the information age. This study aims
to shed light on the structure of intercity e-retailing networks in China, and probe into the underlying
geographical, demographic, economic, social, and political determinants.
