Urban Value Field Economics (UVFE) – Abstract

Urban Value Field Economics (UVFE) is an emerging branch of Urban Value Science that investigates the dynamic processes governing the creation, propagation, accumulation, transformation, redistribution, optimization, and governance of urban value across space and time. Built upon the theoretical foundation of the Urban Value Field (UVF), UVFE integrates concepts from economics, spatial science, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), artificial intelligence (AI), network science, and computational modeling to explain how urban value evolves within complex metropolitan systems. The framework provides scientific methods for analyzing urban value dynamics, evaluating policy impacts, optimizing resource allocation, and supporting evidence-based decision-making. By combining advanced computational technologies with spatial-economic theory, UVFE establishes a comprehensive foundation for sustainable urban development, intelligent governance, and next-generation digital cities.

What is UVFE ? 

A new branch of urban economics based on the Urban Value Field. 

Urban Value Field Economics (UVFE) is a new branch of urban economics founded on the concept of the Urban Value Field (UVF). It investigates the mechanisms through which urban value is created, propagated, accumulated, transformed, redistributed, optimized, and governed across space and time. By integrating economics, spatial science, GIS, artificial intelligence, and digital technologies, UVFE provides the scientific foundation for understanding and managing urban value in smart and digital cities. 

ULVF explains the spatial structure of Urban Value Fields by identifying how urban value is distributed and organized across space. Building upon this foundation, UVFE explains how these value fields evolve over time through the processes of value creation, propagation, accumulation, transformation, redistribution, and governance. While ULVF answers the question "What is the spatial structure of urban value?", UVFE answers the equally important question "How and why does urban value change?" Together, they provide a unified scientific foundation for understanding both the spatial structure and dynamic evolution of urban value in modern cities.
