Title: Mirror of the state or independent image? - Conceptual perspectives on the question of a legitimacy shift to the output dimension in local democracy
Abstract:
This contribution discusses the theoretical and conceptual implications of
asking about the legitimacy of local democracy and the relevance of
discussing 'performance legitimacy'. The role of local
government in generating or undermining democratic legitimacy is
ambivalent. It is questionable whether there can be something like a
genuine legitimacy of local government at all,
considering its subordinate and functionalised role in the modern
(welfare) state. In the first part of the article, the complexity and
controversial status of political legitimacy in general and local
government in particular is exposed. It is argued that the effective
interplay of justification (giving acceptable reasons for policies) and
demonstration (performing successfully by fulfilling promises), which is
at the core of generating legitimacy, cannot be deduced from general
concepts and fixed in a general model. Generating a self-reinforcing
dynamic of public support and linking different dimensions of legitimacy
(input, throughput, output) is a matter of reflexive institutionalisation.
Being part of a democratic welfare state has provided local governments in
Western democracies with a stabilised focus of legitimacy. At the same
time, local governments are particularly under pressure to adapt, to
innovate and to modernise. Four broader narratives of changing democratic
legitimacy sources with respect to local government are discussed. The
shift to 'performance legitimacy' has to be seen in a wider context of
redefining the meaning of (local) democracy as mapped out by the four
narratives.

Title: Local policies and local government legitimacy. The Swedish case
Abstract:
Do local policies improve local government legitimacy and how do different
forms of legitimacy relate to each other? These questions are analysed on
the basis of an extensive survey carried out in 2010 in 111 Swedish
municipalities, that generated responses from approximately 50,800
citizens, and complemented with register-based background data. Local
legitimacy is construed as citizens' assessments of whether the local
political system functions in an acceptable way. Distinctions are made
between input legitimacy, output legitimacy related to welfare services
and output legitimacy that concerns basic collective services. Controlling
for other individual and municipal-level factors, policies aimed at
improving input legitimacy have an effect, but it is even more important
that local government delivers welfare and other services in a way that is
appreciated by the citizens. Output legitimacy related to welfare services
is improved by public provision of these services, but not by additional
spending. On the other hand, spending on cultural institutions, leisure,
roads and streets increases citizens' appreciation of basic collective
services. In addition, the study shows that all three types of local
government legitimacy are empirically related to each other. Whether they
enhance each other or reflect one underlying dimension calls for further
time-series-based research.

Title: Beyond 'What do I get?' Functional and procedural sources of Dutch citizens' satisfaction with local democracy
Abstract:
This paper deals with a dual question: (1) How important are procedural
value orientations (pertaining to the democratic quality of
decision-making) and functional value orientations (pertaining to the
governmental performance in solving problems and delivering services) for
Dutch citizens' ideas about what constitutes good local governance? (2) To
what extent and how do these functional and procedural evaluations affect
Dutch citizens' overall satisfaction with local democracy? These questions
will be answered on the basis of data collected through a survey amongst
1060 Dutch citizens.

Title: Councillors' perspectives on democratic legitimacy in English local government: politics through provision?
Abstract:
Much has been made of the dual-polity concept of local government. By
comparison less has been made of conceptualising local government's
dual-purpose role. The political and service provision roles of local
government tend to be kept separate for purposes of scholarly
investigation. Local government is synonymous with service provision, but
its governing role is often overlooked or downplayed by higher levels of
government. Is local government as a politically representative
institution merely a quaint and unnecessary hangover from the past? The
paper reports the findings of research conducted among councillors and
assesses their perspective on the legitimacy of local government to make
decisions and to govern locally.

Title: Democratic metropolitan governance: experiences in five German metropolitan regions
Abstract:
The paper seeks to describe whether reflections about the legitimacy
metropolitan governance arrangements found consideration in metropolitan
reforms in five German metropolitan regions. Metropolitan regions are an
increasingly relevant scale for political decision-making but mechanism
for legitimacy and accountability did not keep pace. Given the fact that
in most metropolitan institutions only indirect mechanisms of legitimacy
such as regional assemblies with representatives from municipal councils
or public-private governing boards are at work, one may expect that output
legitimacy or legitimacy by performance is the dominant source for
legitimacy in metropolitan governance. In fact, citizens care much about
the quality and the prize of services such as waste management or public
transport but less about the transparency of decision-making procedures
behind these services - at least on the scale of the region. The results
show a mixed picture. In two out of five regions, directly elected
regional assembly have been established and now constitute genuine tiers
of metropolitan politics where input and output legitimacy are combined.
In other regions, the turn to flexible forms of governance opened up
decision-making arenas for societal actors, but it seems that this opening
of the policy process is very selective and comes at the expense of
citizen participation.

Title: Procedure or performance? Assessing citizen's attitudes toward legitimacy in Swedish and Norwegian local government
Abstract:
A common understanding prevails that political systems generate legitimacy
by both democratic procedures and performance in service production. With
the increase of NPM models in local services, some scholars argue that
performance is becoming a more important source of legitimacy than
conventional legitimacy originating from the procedural side of
governance. The aim of the article is to discuss and analyze the
importance of and relation between these sources of legitimacy. The
article examines three hypotheses: (1) the trade-off hypothesis, (2) the
synergy hypothesis, and (3) the independence hypothesis. Based on citizen
surveys in Norway and Sweden, our analysis argues that the dimensions are
synergetic.

Title: What if performance accountability mechanisms engender distrust?
Abstract:
An axiomatic assumption in contemporary democratic theory is that
accountability mechanisms generate trust and legitimacy in and for
democratic systems: in relation to decision-makers (elected officials),
facilitators (the public bureaucracy) and outcomes of public policy (scope
and quality). However, how wise is it to take this assumption for granted?
What if accountability mechanisms applied in democracies with high levels
of trust promote distrust rather than trust? This article will elaborate
on and analyse the inherent theoretical logic of performance scrutiny as a
basis for performance accountability in political-administrative systems
inspired by new public management reforms. Performance scrutiny practices
derived from Sweden, a high-trust society, are used as empirical
illustrations and as a basis to generate hypotheses on how and why
practices to analysis performance accountability have the potential to
counteract trust.

Title: 'The Rhinish Greeks'. Bailout funds for local government in German federal states
Abstract:
In response to the budgetary problems of local government in Germany, some
federal states (Länder) have established bailout funds
for their highly indebted local authorities. These schemes commit local
governments, on a contractual basis, to strengthen their own consolidation
efforts in return for fiscal aid. The ambitious aim is to reduce
short-term borrowing considerably or to eliminate annual deficits
completely.This article provides an overview of the structure of the
schemes with respect to the amounts and sources of funding as well as the
conditions of participation and potential sanctions. Furthermore, this
contribution explains the motives of the governments of the federal states
to establish these schemes.

Title: Diversity of self-managed co-housing initiatives in France
Abstract:
Defining what is understood as habitat participatif
(participative or co-housing) in France comes up against regulatory
ambiguities and a diversity of regional contexts and micro-local
situations. Taking as its starting point a survey carried out in the city
of Grenoble, which has a long tradition of cooperation and participatory
politics, the article analyzes this diversity to identify the common
characteristics of co-housing projects and to attempt to define an 'ideal
type'. The cases are described in relation to the social changes of the
twentieth century in order to illustrate the long history of the projects,
which are based on a range of ideological principles, but are always
characterized by three core concepts: sharing, environmental awareness,
and citizen participation.

Title: Housing cooperatives in Poland. The origins of a deadlock
Abstract:
Housing cooperatives in Poland have a long history, which began at the end
of the nineteenth century. The cooperative movement proposed innovative
solutions for housing, as far as the architectural and the social
dimensions are concerned especially in the interwar period, and became in
the 1960s the most important actor in the housing system in Poland, until
the end of the 1980s. Nevertheless, this dominant position also contained
the roots of cooperatives' own decline which is on-going. Today, 17% of
the housing stock belongs to the cooperative sector, but less than 3% of
new dwellings are built by cooperatives. This article analyzes the growth
and decline of Polish housing cooperatives during the twentieth century
and why we can consider that they have reached a deadlock in the
neoliberal Poland.

Title: Self-managed co-housing in the context of an ageing population in Europe
Abstract:
European public policies face the challenge of well ageing. A key element
of my research is the role given to older people in the conception of new
types of housing and living arrangements. Amongst the various types of
intermediate housing models, from nursing homes to in-house support, the
self-managed co-housing scheme seems a good solution from an economic
point of view: it allows a reduction in the public expenditure
necessitated by the demands of an ageing population, not to mention social
costs. It improves the quality of elderly people's lives by focusing on
personal autonomy and communal solidarity. This article gives an overview
of scientific literature on the subject of 'co-housing and ageing' and
describes some results of five field studies recently conducted in
intergenerational co-housing projects in Germany, Sweden and England.

Title: The potential of cohousing for rural Austria
Abstract:
Spatial living conditions have been changing fast because of economic and
demographic transition. Rural areas in particular face the challenge of
maintaining the infrastructures of everyday life. This article argues that
cohousing projects are successful in co-developing and maintaining
flexible infrastructures for everyday life for their residents and the
neighbourhood. The article understands cohousing and planning as mutual
learning processes and proposes a feminist approach to planning for
everyday life. The potential of innovation of planning practice is
explored on the basis of three Austrian cases. Conclusions show the
potential and obstacles of planning and housing policies that favour
cohousing and of planning innovation in rural Austria.

Title: Understanding co-housing from a planning perspective: why and how?
Abstract:
The re-emergence of Co-housing matches with the current rise of 'DIY',
'Rurbanizing' and 'New Commons' trends in Western European countries.
Publications and websites of co-housing networks show that the ambitions
of the initiatives are very similar internationally, and there is a strong
information flow between projects and crossing borders. There are often
high expectations, both by inhabitants and urban policy makers about the
resilience and impact of self-organized housing communities. At the same
time, driving forces behind the trend are different for each country: from
demographic change to land scarcity, promotion of private property, and
failing housing distribution. Moreover, planning contexts vary
considerably, both geographically and over time. This article searches for
an interpretation of the co-housing trend through the lens of spatial
planning. This article is based on collaborative research in France,
Netherlands and Germany, including field experience in several other EU
countries. This article argues that co-housing can only be fully
understood when taking into account planning context. The relevance of
self-organized housing for urban development and spatial planning lies
primarily in the lessons it learns on 'participative urbanism'; both in
design and management of high quality urban environment.

Title: German co-housing: an opportunity for municipalities to foster socially inclusive urban development?
Abstract:
Co-housing is on the policy agenda in Germany after more than two decades
of widely successful practice. Many completed projects have demonstrated
that self-organised co-housing can provide tailor-made innovative
solutions for an ageing and socio-culturally diversifying society. Some
municipalities have adopted this model as a key element in housing and
neighbourhood policies, while others are still reluctant or struggling
with the idea. Analysing the German situation, the article puts forward
policy recommendations for deeper research into the conditions required
for co-housing to grow and its effects on urban planning and socio-spatial
development. Taking Berlin as an Urban Laboratory, it examines ways of
supporting the tenure and offers some advice on how cities might
mainstream what so far is an interesting niche product. The overall
objective of the article is two-fold: First, at the scientific level, it
contributes to the European research agenda on the conditions for
mainstreaming co-housing. Second, at the policy level, it addresses the
legitimacy of co-housing oriented policies.

Title: Towards a deeper understanding of the social architecture of co-housing: evidence from the UK, USA and Australia
Abstract:
This article draws attention to the micro-social practices that
self-organising resident groups engage in over the years that it takes to
build a co-housing community. This 'social architecture' is what
distinguishes co-housing from superficially similar shared-space
neighbourhoods. Co-housing developments are attracting renewed attention
in Anglophone neo-liberal economies against a backdrop of crisis in
conventional housing. Discussion draws on the views of co-housing
residents from participatory research from the UK, USA and Australia. By
engaging with a deeper understanding of group processes, shared visions
and interpersonal capabilities - the 'glue' binding collaborative
community relations - this paper challenges the priority usually given to
the material characteristics of home and neighbourhood design.

Title: Development of new cohousing: lessons from a London scheme for the over-50s
Abstract:
There is increased interest in the UK in cohousing as a desirable
alternative for older people. The economics of developing cohousing differ
from the normal model for residential development; in particular, the
participatory nature of the process increases the time required and there
are higher risks for both resident/purchaser and developer. We examine the
nature of supply and risk using the case of a new senior cohousing
community in south London. Given its evident benefits, senior cohousing
may eventually become more widespread, and perceived risks will fall.
However, the nature of the residential development process means that
cohousing will always be at a disadvantage when competing for land in high
demand areas like London, and the time required for participatory
processes increases costs. To currently increase the small number of
cohousing communities in the UK and ensure affordability, targeted
measures may be necessary to enable groups to access land and mitigate the
higher costs associated with longer term collaborative processes.

Title: From practice to policy: frameworks for temporary use
Abstract:
From informal, experimental practice, temporary use has become a
structured policy in many cities in the past years. The responses given to
the problem of empty properties appear at various levels of urban planning
and policy. Some municipalities open up their real estate databases to
engage citizens and entrepreneurs in revitalizing empty properties; others
create frameworks for mediating between property owners and potential
users; introduce incentives by raising taxes or tax exemptions, facilitate
permission procedures, or secure funding and loans by offering public
guarantees. While these policies correspond largely to their specific
political, economic, social, and cultural contexts, they converge in their
attempt to create a better connection between citizen and community
initiatives and public policies. In this paper, the authors present an
incomplete inventory of municipal policies and approaches elaborated in
the past decade, offering examples to feed the continuous quest of how to
include communities in the planning process and better integrate local
initiatives in development projects.

Title: Economic development approaches in a changing global economy: what do practitioners think?
Abstract:
How to best arrange locally based economic development has been an issue
of continuing importance and interest throughout history. Although some
limited scholarly works exist, much remains to be known about how
communities' economic development efforts are organized and whether they
are changing in response to global economic changes and conditions. The
lacuna is particularly obvious for communities in Ontario, Canada. In
light of the recent calls by policy evaluators and critics for
restructuring of policy by local communities, this article reports on a
study that explored the perspectives of practitioners of economic
development approaches. The study shows that locally based economic
development has introduced not only rhetoric but also a fundamental shift
in activities. The study offers several possible reasons for a change in
approaches.

Title: Conservation, innovation and healing of the well-preserved medieval Ystad
Abstract:
This article investigates the discursive powers that authorise and
legitimise heritage practices in Ystad, which has a reputation as one of
the best preserved medieval towns in Scandinavia. To maintain this
reputation, the discursive and material heritage of certain groups and
periods of history are projected at the expense of others, albeit in a
legitimised manner. Methods of discursive analysis, supported by Smith's
'authorised heritage discourse' and Harvey's 'heritageisation', show that
a static approach to heritage, assimilative and exclusionary in nature,
has protected Ystad's material heritage. This approach has never been
challenged but is perpetually adjusted within frameworks of dominant and
subversive ideologies, producing adverse and overlooked social and spatial
consequences. Heritage practices need new perspectives on entrenched
habits of thought and new trajectories within the political dynamics of
planning strategies, both of which are often unrecognised by the means
commonly used to measure the legitimation of intervention in heritage.

Title: Negotiation and social transactions in urban policies: the case of the tramway projects in France
Abstract:
Dealing with the example of the tramway projects developed in two French
metropolitan areas, this paper aims to investigate from a relational point
of view the debates concerning the place of the concepts of negotiation
and social transactions in the implementation of local policies. We take
the formal vs. informal dimension of the issue into
account, as well as the multiple rationalities linked to the recognition
of the 'otherness' in the relations between the different social actors
and institutions. Finally, we make a distinction between first and second
ranking transactions in order to reinforce this operating paradigm in the
'green city' age.

Title: Agonism and co-design of urban spaces
Abstract:
In this paper, I analyse the potentials of co-design interventions as a
new approach to urban development, moving the development of urban spaces
from the domain of urban planners to a shared domain between the
professionals and citizens who use them. The developments of urban space
in this way come to involve the often-diverging opinions and use practices
of citizens, and enable new flexibility in the interpretation of urban
futures.Co-design processes are becoming relevant for the development of
urban spaces not least due to the increasing focus on 'liveability' in
large European cities, a perspective that challenges planners to
re-imagine their work practices. I argue that agonistic urban development
and viewing the urban setting in an assemblage perspective are productive
frameworks for analysing co-design interventions in the three cases from
Copenhagen studied in the paper.The paper concludes that co-design
interventions do indeed present new possibilities for the development of
urban spaces. By diversifying the group of stakeholders, reconfiguring the
urban spaces in question and translating the diverse user perspectives
from urban life into planning practices, interventions can impact the
socio-technical development of the city. The study shows how co-design
interventions can assist in the re-imagination of urban futures for
planners and citizens alike.

Title: Understanding participatory governance arrangements in urban politics: idealist and cynical perspectives on the politics of citizen dialogues in Göteborg, Sweden
Abstract:
The purpose of this article is to deepen the understanding of the spread
of participatory governance arrangements (PGAs) in urban politics. While
PGAs tend to be viewed from a democratization angle, several studies
interpret them as part of other logics, such as public management ideals
and neoliberal governmentality. By analyzing the policy content, political
roots and motives behind the politics of 'citizen dialogue' in the city of
Göteborg, Sweden, this article provides empirical insight and elaborates
on how the turn toward participatory governance can be understood both
from an idealist and a cynical perspective.

Title: Bad banks: the urban implications of asset management companies
Abstract:
Asset management companies (AMCs), such as Ireland's National Asset
Management Agency and Spain's Socieded de Gestión de Activos
Procedentes de la Reestructuración Bancaria (Management Company
for Assets Arising from Bank Reorganisation, SAREB), are important policy
responses to financial crises involving the acquisition and management of
toxic debt. Given their massive real estate portfolios, AMCs have decisive
urban impacts. And yet, there is almost no literature on their urban
dimension. This article responds to this gap by providing an overview of
AMCs as a response to financial and real estate crises and by analysing
their urban dimensions. While AMCs are designed to save banks, they impact
on cities because of the increasing integration of finance and real
estate. Moreover, AMCs deepen the integration of real estate and global
capital. Finally, because they are a form of state intervention, AMCs may
serve to politicize the tension between the use value of real estate and
its exchange value.

Title: The development of local knowledge orders: a conceptual framework to explain differences in climate policy at the local level
Abstract:
We argue that the question of how to explain differences in the responses
of cities to perceived challenges of climate change can be answered on the
basis of a knowledge order derived from local processes that generate
meaning. With respect to its content, such a knowledge order consists of
cognitive as well as normative components. While the normative dimension
covers accepted values of right or wrong providing compelling ethical and
moral motivations for action, the cognitive component expresses
cause-effect relationships about the state of the world and how it
functions, and can thus guide decisions on what has to be done how.
Moreover, specific mechanisms will be elaborated which are decisive for
the formation, reproduction and transformation of a knowledge order.

Title: The epistemologies of local climate change policies in Germany
Abstract:
Measures for climate adaptation and mitigation at the local level result
in profound changes for the daily routines of municipal administrative
staff. New agencies are created, new organisational relationships are
established and the development of new competencies is needed. In
particular, urban planning and environmental planning departments claim
leading roles in cities' socio-technical transitions. This article seeks
to describe how knowledge is generated and used in this transition process
in three German cities. The results show the combination of climate
adaptation and mitigation is the dominant 'narrative' in large parts of
the municipal administrations (as is the case in most other German and
European cities). All three cities developed sophisticated strategies for
ambitious goals to reduce CO2 emissions. Furthermore, the
governance of local knowledge shares distinct characteristics and
organisational aspects in the cities. However, internally competing
epistemologies - in the sense of the infrastructure for the interpretation
of reality and determination of what is known and how - can be identified
and discussed.

Title: The trans-local dimension of local climate policy. Sustaining and transforming local knowledge orders through trans-local action in three German cities
Abstract:
Local climate policy is a voluntary task of municipalities and thus
implies an increased need to justify costly measures with, to some extent,
uncertain effects. This article argues that the trans-local action space
provides an important epistemic and strategic resource for local actors in
the area of climate policy. The analysis particularly rests upon
qualitative interviews with local administrators in three German cities
(Frankfurt, Munich and Stuttgart) and captures the effects of trans-local
action on local climate policy by analysing the action orientations and
motives of these actors. The article contributes to the concept of
knowledge orders in two ways: it supposes that local knowledge orders
shape orientations towards trans-local action while this action
simultaneously provides mechanisms for the transformation and reproduction
of knowledge orders.

Title: The effects of knowledge orders on climate change policy in urban land management and real estate management: a case study of three German cities
Abstract:
Local climate policy depends on a transformation of the built environment.
In urban areas, the built environment is largely an integrated product of
land management and real estate management. This paper examines the
effects of sense-making on urban climate policies in the built
environment. Three major German cities are analysed in a comparative case
study. The structuring element for both qualitative and quantitative data
analyses is the concept of knowledge orders (Heinelt and Lamping in this
issue). This study demonstrates the important role that the selection of
beliefs, ideas and knowledge play in the development of local strategies
against climate change by identifying a strong relationship between local
knowledge orders and climate policy. The paper contributes to the urban
policy literature by improving the understanding of local differences,
including how knowledge orders affect land management and real estate
management.

Title: Institutionalizing a policy by any other name: in the City of Vancouver's Greenest City Action Plan, does climate change policy or sustainability policy smell as sweet?
Abstract:
This article questions the implications of a shift in dominant urban
planning framework from sustainable development to climate change. The
case of the City of Vancouver's Greenest City Action Plan (GCAP)
(2010-2020) is investigated as a window to perceive and understand this
shift. We begin with the stance that the primary implications of a shift
from sustainability to climate change policy are in social and
institutional learning about action, and as such we adopt an urban
knowledge order framework for our analysis. At the organizational scale,
we investigate the implications of GCAP in terms of its impact on the city
structure and organization, in terms of the way it works with the public
and with external organizations in designing and implementing policy, and
in terms of reporting and accountability. An understanding of the
construction of an urban knowledge arena as a valuable process and outcome
of sustainability and climate policy work offers a pragmatic way to
integrate and promote sustainability thinking across the city
administration, amongst citizen-participants, and in collaboration with
external partners. We see in the City of Vancouver an ecologically
modernizing city, which is also learning a new, partnership-based way of
wielding power and coordinating and justifying sustainability and climate
change policy and action.

Title: Soil sealing footprint as an indicator of dispersed urban growth: a multivariate statistics approach
Abstract:
The present study introduces a set of indicators derived from
high-resolution land-use maps with the aim to illustrate the spatial
distribution, intensity, and diversity of sealed soils in a Mediterranean
region (Rome, Italy) shifting from a mono-centric spatial organization
toward a dispersed urban agglomeration. A multivariate approach provides a
comprehensive assessment of Rome ‘sealing footprint’,
classifying local districts according to different imperviousness
profiles. Results illustrate the rearrangement of the land-use structure
determined by suburbanization with higher soil consumption and lower
land-use efficiency. The approach is considered a promising tool to inform
policies for a spatially balanced and land-saving urban development.

Title: A comparative analysis of place branding in Michigan and Ontario
Abstract:
Place branding has increasingly been adopted as a municipal initiative to
change the trajectory of local economic development. Specifically, local
municipalities and communities have used place branding not only as a
response to the influence of globalization and neo-liberalism, but also
economic challenges and restructuring. Like any other initiative, the
ultimate goal is to enhance the economic and social well-being of local
jurisdictions. Although a popular strategy, it is not clear
if and how locally specific factors
mediate the process. By comparing two cross-border geographical areas,
this study attempts to identify how regional variability in the
manifestation of political-economic forces, as well as geographical
influences, affects the use of place branding at local scales. Every
municipality in Michigan (n = 1774) and Ontario
(n = 414) was systematically examined for the
presence and message of local place brands as presented through logos and
slogans. The comparative analysis demonstrated that Ontario’s
municipalities utilized place branding to a greater extent, and that the
dominant messages differ by region. Further, this analysis shows that --
beyond political differences -- geographical context appears to have an
effect on both local place branding usage and message.

Title: The ‘distinctiveness of cities’ and distinctions in cities: boundaries of belonging in comparative perspective
Abstract:
It is in cities where people are most strongly confronted with diversity
in an ‘age of migration’. However, comparisons of local
integration contexts usually take ethnic boundaries as given or assume
that they are constituted by the nation state. Our analysis of local
discourses challenges this methodological nationalism. Departing from the
‘distinctiveness of cities’ approach, we scrutinise how
Frankfurt, Dortmund, Birmingham and Glasgow differ in how diversity is
discursively constructed. We maintain that the discourses not only reflect
different frames in dealing with diversity but also serve as a proxy for
debating the self-image of the city.

Title: Participation in neighbourhood regeneration: achievements of residents in a Dutch disadvantaged neighbourhood
Abstract:
Despite the fact that resident participation has become central to the
Dutch policy discourse on ‘good’ urban planning, it is
unclear to what degree new participation mechanisms have created
opportunities for residents to actually influence neighbourhood governance
and contribute to the improvement of their neighbourhood. This paper
explores how residents in the neighbourhood of Transvaal (Amsterdam) have
been involved in regeneration since 1999. Although residents have been
successful in putting everyday concerns about safety on the agenda and
contributed to small-scale improvements of public space, they were unable
to contribute to regeneration plans at the scale of the neighbourhood, in
particular strategic decisions about state-led gentrification.

Title: Spanish urban law, changes after Aznar´s law
Abstract:
It is common to blame 1998 urban law, promoted by the president Aznar, the
present Spanish urban situation defined by the unnecessary construction of
housing units. But the analysis of the Aznar´s urban law requires to
briefly describing the Spanish urban law development, at least since the
1956 urban law. In 2007, after that ´marvellous decade´, and
along with the real estate bubble burst, Spain went through a major change
on urban law model which ended in the 2013 3R Act, the law for the urban
sustainable development and the existing city intervention.

Title: Urban growth management in Catalonia, 2005--2010
Abstract:
The Catalan experience between 2005 and 2010 constitutes an interesting
example of urban & regional planning policies responding to the dramatic
changes that took place at the turn of the real estate crisis of 2008:
there is probably no other European case study where such a quantity of
planning and legislative initiatives addressing urban growth were approved
in such a short period. The article frames them in the Spanish framework
and provides an integrative understanding of how the Catalan territory was
planned in a period of critical changing conditions, from regional to
local scale as well as from urban to rural land.

Title: Half a century of urbanization in southern European lowlands: a study on the Po Valley (Northern Italy)
Abstract:
This work analyses urban growth, in terms of quality and quantity, in one
of the vastest lowlands in southern Europe, the Po Valley (PV). Research
on the PV is part of a wider project dealing with the whole of Italy and,
to allow a comparison with the other national geographic realities, it was
carried out using municipal data. The main objective is to analyse the
dynamics of the phenomenon of land uptake from the post-war period to the
noughties, highlighting some territorial and environmental effects, and to
prepare a future risk scenario for this area which is the cornerstone of
the European economy. In this geographical district, urban conversion of
land is a territorial ‘disease’ resulting from complex
economic dynamism and ongoing population growth. These scenarios may seem
justified by the fact that the PV is the most productive territory in the
country, but the PV is one of the most heavily polluted areas in Europe
with a highly deteriorated environmental matrix. The PV extends over five
Italian regions with different settlement histories and different
urbanization models, models which are evaluated and compared even with
some European cases in the study. They are, however, always urban forms
that are spread sparingly over the territory. This is why, in its
conclusions, the research proposes criteria of compacting and reducing
sprinkling, and improving the quality of the environmental matrix.

Title: Mixed tenure communities as a policy instrument for educational outcomes in a deprived urban context?
Abstract:
This article considers mixed community strategies, enacted through
planning and regeneration policies, as a policy approach to the
improvement of educational outcomes in schools. Analysis is undertaken of
educational outcomes across secondary schools in Glasgow. The level of
owner occupation in the catchment is positively associated with both
examination results at S4 and positive destinations post-school,
particularly at the more deprived end of the school spectrum. The results
suggest that tenure mix may be both directly and indirectly related to
school performance, with neighbourhood context effects not being entirely
mediated through the school context.

Title: Empty urbanism: the bursting of the Spanish housing bubble
Abstract:
The depth of the Spanish housing crisis manifests itself in the collapse
of construction activity and in the amount of housing and land stocks. The
geography of the crisis shows its widespread nature, and the intensity of
the previous bubble explains spatial differences. Resulting from this
collapse are some problematic areas of ‘empty urbanism’. An
enormous land bubble, emerging from the peculiar Spanish urban development
model, was a key factor in the impacts -- caused by the crisis -- on the
territory and land-use plans. The crisis has demonstrated the
unsustainability of this and the urgency of change in the existing
land-use plans.

Title: Evaluating the land use patterns of medium-sized Hellenic cities
Abstract:
Land use morphology has profound effects both on city functions and
peri-urban areas. They can either lead to conflicts with negative side
effects or generate positive synergies. This study focuses on land use
spatial configurations and interprets the interactions among them. In
order to evaluate spatial planning policies, the measurement of urban land
use patterns is considered to play an important role in the urban
development process and deserves further attention. A comparative analysis
of the land use patterns of the medium-sized Hellenic cities is attempted,
there are also used using pre-existing metrics, some new data from the
European Environment Agency Urban Atlas 2006 geodataset and population and
construction census data concerning the last decade from the national
Hellenic Statistical Authority data set. The Larger Urban Zones of the
medium-sized Hellenic cities are chosen as a suitable study level based
both on population size and socio-spatial procedures. The results provide
interesting information about the diversification among medium-sized
cities, while some particularities concerning urban procedures appear to
emerge for some of them. Many discussion points arise from this study
concerning the data availability, the method, the functional city area
delineation and the Larger Urban Zones definition.

Title: The real estate bubble in Ireland. Policy context and responses
Abstract:
The impact of surges and corrections in residential property prices has
been a feature of many international economies in the past two decades and
was pronounced as the global financial crisis evolved from 2007 to 2015.
Many European states such as Spain and Ireland were severely affected by
market corrections, having experienced major property-development surges
in the decade to 2007. Factors associated with such surges include a rapid
growth in housing demand both for occupation and for investment purposes,
often supported by relaxed credit and monetary policy stances. Many
jurisdictions, including Ireland, also experienced supportive fiscal
regimes, which artificially boosted investment in property acquisition and
development, and ineffective planning and zoning regulatory systems for
major growth centres leading to sprawl-type patterns of development. Irish
residential property prices were at the top range of such international
price increases and corrections, with major consequences for the general
economy and the property market. This article explores the policy context
which shaped the boom and bust and the policy response in place for market
recovery.

Title: Productive gentrification in the Mile-Ex neighbourhood of Montreal, Canada: exploring the role of the state in remaking urban industrial clusters
Abstract:
The Mile-Ex district of Montreal, Canada – an inner-city manufacturing cluster – is experiencing an influx of new knowledge-based firms, which in addition to residential developments threatens to displace current manufacturing firms. This study examines the competition over industrial space and how state strategies, particularly at the scale of the City, are enabling this trend. Drawing on interviews with local stakeholders and planners, a review of policy documents and field observations, we seek to expand on a nascent literature exploring the gentrification of manufacturing spaces and shed light on the different mechanisms by which the state mediates neighbourhood change.

Title: The ‘Pink Street’ in Cais do Sodré: urban change and liminal governance in a nightlife district of Lisbon
Abstract:
The former harbour quarter of Cais do Sodré in central Lisbon has been recently transformed into the most crowded nightlife spot in the city, causing some negative social and spatial impacts such as the worsening of community liveability during night-time hours. In addition, the inefficacy of the latest community intervention project conducted in the area (SAFE!N) has been largely due to the liminal governance of the urban night applied in the area. In the final remarks, some actions are suggested to foster long-term sustainable coexistence between the right to the city and the right to leisure in the area.

Title: Instinctive participation: community-initiated mechanisms for managing and maintaining urban poor settlements in Cairo, Egypt
Abstract:
The demand for the collective involvement of residents in managing and maintaining their urban residential areas is increasing all over the world, particularly in the developing countries. Such collective responsibility for shared urban spaces and building elements among residents was deep-rooted in the traditional urbanism of Cairo. By the early twentieth century, the distribution of responsibilities had changed radically, with the adoption of the Western-inspired maintenance and management paradigms throughout municipalities. With the deterioration of municipal services in Cairo, especially in urban poor areas, and the shortcomings associated with the top-down participatory approaches of nongovernmental organizations and community-based organizations, the search for an alternative approach is now desperately needed.This research investigates the community-driven, spontaneously initiated participatory mechanisms and tools of the urban poor in Cairo for managing and maintaining their housing built environment. For the research method, three residential settlements representing the three prevailing patterns of urban poor housing were selected in order to address three main questions: what are the practices among the urban poor for managing and maintaining their housing built environment in Cairo today?; what are the attitudes of those residents toward their shared responsibility for managing and maintaining their housing built environment?; and why do they have these attitudes?Through this research, it has been found that the local communities managed to develop self-organizing mechanisms and spontaneous tools to efficiently manage and maintain their housing built environment. On the other hand, an analysis of residents’ preferences and attitudes suggests that, in general, they neither prefer to keep taking sole responsibility for managing and maintaining their housing built environment, nor wish to leave the entire process in the hands of local authorities. Instead, they would like to share the responsibility with these authorities. The results of this research can be the base for proposing an innovative approach that recognizes instinctive community-initiated mechanisms, but which also has municipal involvement, to create a ‘localized’ conceptual approach for managing and maintaining deprived urban settlements in Cairo, as well as other potential cities in Egypt, the Arab world, and the developing countries as a whole.

Title: Vulnerability and deviance: individual reasoning about the proposal to ban begging in Sweden
Abstract:
This article situates the phenomenon of visible begging in the context of the welfare state, exploring the relationship between welfare institutions and social marginalisation. Combining survey data with 26 interviews, the article explores what Swedes think about the proposal to ban begging. The results confirm earlier studies emphasising the norms of egalitarianism and insider privilege in universal welfare states. However, the results identify pragmatism, non-materialist egalitarianism, and non-coercion as complementary frames in individual reasoning about begging. Finally, the results indicate a blurred distinction between vulnerability and deviance in reasoning about begging, nuancing previous ideas about social policy preferences.

Title: Consumption and encounter in (multi)cultural quarters reflecting on London and Rome’s ‘Banglatowns’
Abstract:
The paper aims at introducing some critical views on ‘multicultural quarters’, reflecting on the cases of Spitalfields in London and Torpignattara in Rome. Urban practices and policies that led these places to be recognised as ‘Banglatowns’ are explored, disentangling two major narratives of multicultural quarters, respectively, commodification of diversity and everyday multiculturalism. Whether literature tends to establish an opposition between these interpretative frameworks, the paper argues that context-based research shows how both categories are interlaced. The coexisting aspects of commodification of ethnicity and encounter are explored, focusing on the human and spatial agents supporting the construction of the image of the (multi)ethnic quarters.

Title: An alternative for whom? The evolution and socio-economy of Danish cohousing
Abstract:
Cohousing has caught the attention of activists, academics and decision-makers, and Danish experiences with cohousing as bofællesskaber are routinely highlighted as pioneering and successful. This article presents a mainly quantitative analysis of the development of Danish intergenerational cohousing and investigates socio-economic characteristics of residents in these communities. First, the article demonstrates how the development of Danish cohousing has been undergirded by distinct shifts in dominant tenure forms. Second, it shows that inhabitants in contemporary Danish cohousing are socio-economically distinct. This does not diminish the value of cohousing, but it problematises assumptions about the social sustainability of this housing form.

Title: Urban space renaissance of a developing country city
Abstract:
African Governments are envisioning their cities in the images of world-class cities elsewhere. This has led to relentless inner-city regeneration but with some challenges. This article examines these challenges and their implications for urban development in the Ghanaian context. Through multiple research techniques, Ghana’s inner-city regeneration revealed contradictions and distortions typified by contestations and dispossessions. The challenges we argue were the offshoot of poor governance with limited community participation in the process, a situation which reflects how urban development is framed in a developing country city. To decipher the challenges will require innovative solutions premised on an all-inclusive urban governance approach.

Title: The triad of social sustainability: Defining and measuring social sustainability of urban neighbourhoods
Abstract:
Despite recent advances in social sustainability discourse, there is a dearth of working definitions and evaluation frameworks regarding measuring social sustainability of neighbourhoods for research, practice, and policy purposes. Building on the qualitative meta-analysis of relevant resources, this article proposes the triad of social sustainability consisting of three pillars of neighbourhood, neighbouring, and neighbours, as a conceptual framework for understanding and measuring social sustainability of neighbourhoods. It introduces relevant indicators for each pillar, suggests advanced techniques for measuring them, and incorporates them into an integrated framework. At the end, significant research and policy implications of the proposed framework are discussed.

Title: Balancing gentrification in the knowledge economy: the case of Chattanooga’s innovation district
Abstract:
Innovation districts are emerging as place-based, knowledge-based urban development strategies in diverse cities around the world. They have, however, been criticized for being non-participative top-down initiatives that encourage gentrification and income, social, and racial polarization. In 2015, Mayor Berke launched Chattanooga’s Innovation District in the city’s downtown to accelerate the transformation of Chattanooga into a knowledge city. This paper investigates the programs that are being implemented in order to mitigate the negative externalities that such a strategy can generate. Using Chattanooga as an exploratory case, the authors argue that gentrification in innovation districts can increase knowledge spillovers.

Title: Build it and they will come: whatever happened to social housing in Mexico
Abstract:
Recent evolution of social housing policies in Mexico promoted deregulation of housing finance and a shift from top-down publicly controlled provision of social housing to a corporate model of social housing development based on subsidised homeownership for low- and middle income households. While innovation through mortgage-backed certificates mobilized private capital for the purchase of social housing, the housing policy did not provide the regulatory framework necessary to minimize market failure. In the aftermath of the global financial crisis of 2009, Mexico faced overproduction of social housing, bankrupt financial institutions and social housing developers and more than 5 million abandoned homes in Mexican cities. We argue that the results of the social housing experiment demonstrate a need for coordinated action to align fiscal, financial and regulatory instruments to create a more resilient system of social housing provision.

Title: Urbanization and economic growth in Punjab (India): an empirical analysis
Abstract:
When several cross-country and country level studies investigate the relevant determinates of urbanization and its impact on economic growth, the present paper focuses on micro level analysis by considering Indian states of Punjab. The empirical results show that urban population in Punjab is concentrated in and around Class I cities as in India. The distance to the nearest railway station from a city, city-wise rainfall have a negative effect while basic infrastructural facilities (i.e., number of schools, latrines, hospital, water availability) have a positive impact on urbanization. Finally, it finds a positive link between urbanization and economic growth in Punjab.

Title: From ecocycle to sustainable growth: governing sustainability in Stockholm and Växjö
Abstract:
Sustainable development has become a worldwide goal. Swedish municipalities were early to introduce Agenda 21, but the meaning of sustainable development is not always clear. This article illustrates how the sustainability discourses within two Swedish municipalities have shifted from focusing on adapting to the ecocycle to focusing on sustainable growth. The shift is seen parallel with municipalities’ growing role in the global economy, which has been argued to have become interweaved with a sustainability agenda. The analysis, informed by policy documents and interviews with municipal officials in Växjö and Stockholm, is based on a combination of Foucauldian discourse and governmentality.

Title: Self-organisation in urban spatial planning: evidence from the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area, Ghana
Abstract:
There is growing interest among spatial planners to see spontaneous civic initiatives supporting urban development. The occurrence of self-organisation in two informal settlements in Greater Accra Metropolitan Area, Ghana is considered. The system theories of self-organisation (dissipative structures, synegertics and autopoietic) and actor-network theory were used to analyse the two cases. The findings indicate that actors in these informal settlements are triggered by certain contextual factors to undertake initiatives for their own survival and sustenance. At the regional level, these settlements jointly form patterns relating to self-organisation. We conclude that since self-organisation is context specific, planning rules should be reconstructed to guide actions of the various actors in the urban system.

Title: Non-profit housing, a tool for metropolitan cohesion? The case of the Vienna–Bratislava region
Abstract:
Non-profit housing has a long history both in Austria and in Slovakia, even if recent socio-economic and political transformations question this model born in the nineteenth century. This type of housing is considered as affordable housing according to a generalist conception in Austria and a residual one in Slovakia. But in spite of divergences in their national housing policies, both countries are facing common challenges which are epitomised in the Vienna–Bratislava region. This article analyses the role of non-profit housing in bringing more cohesion to a growing but fragmented metropolitan region.

Title: State-led metropolisation in Russia
Abstract:
Russian urban planning and government are undergoing a metropolitan turn. The Russian central government is seeking to spatially rebalance the Russian economy by creating new economic centres and introducing metropolitan-level urban planning and government for selected core cities and adjacent municipalities. From the urban planning perspective, metropolisation aims to promote better coordination within functional urban areas. Using the current debates in urban planning and economic geography, this paper examines the origins, content, and economic implications of this state-led metropolisation. It concludes that although some material conditions for metropolisation are present, cities may not be able to fulfil the vision of new ‘economic engines’ because of deeply embedded structural problems in the Russian economy and the current weakness of metropolitan governments.

Title: The role of official heritage in regional spaces
Abstract:
Following the argument that increasing mobility has scattered consumption throughout Sweden’s regions, this study investigates how individuals’ consumption choices are influenced by official heritage. It argues that individuals’ everyday routines highlight the role played by heritage in socio-economic regional change, challenging traditional planning systems and altering individuals’ relationships with their environments, leading to new values being placed on official heritage. This argument was tested using interviews and questionnaires in Mariefred, Sweden, and demonstrates that official heritage plays multiple and contrasting roles, including the use of heritage as an attempt to reconcile opposing principles such as progress/development and tradition/conservation.

Title: Tracking peri-urban changes in eThekwini Municipality – beyond the ‘poorrich’ dichotomy
Abstract:
Conceptualization of peri-urban has always been argued from the dichotomy between the ‘poor’ and ‘rich’ paradigms. Peri-urban literature is underpinned by the periphery vs. the urban core stratification. Prevailing consensus is that peri-urban represents deprivation, poverty, lack of access to services and infrastructure. This preoccupation with the negative conceptualisation of the peri-urban misses the opportunities brought by these peri-urban areas to city growth. The paper uses eThekwini as a case study by tracking peri-urban growth in Adams Mission between 2003 and 2013. Research findings reaffirm the peri-urban as an area of opportunity and dispel the widely accepted negative sentiments about peri-urban development.

Title: The value of collective intentionality for understanding urban self-organization
Abstract:
Urban self-organization (USO) is an important topic within the field of contemporary participatory planning. This article aims to investigate the role of certain socio-psychological traits embedded within the notion of USO. We will argue that USO builds upon on the relationship between processes of community organizing, socio-spatial proximity and, most intriguingly, collective intentionality. The intellectual and sensory experience of self-organizing processes is examined through the help of three spatially anchored community initiatives within The Netherlands. We suggest that our investigation into collective intentionality of USO has a promising role in setting the future research agenda for supporting a more inclusive planning theory and practice.

Title: The policy of attraction. Comparing three cities on their policy toward international and nongovernmental organizations: The Hague, Geneva and Vienna
Abstract:
The Hague, Geneva and Vienna are three cities that historically grew into global centers, specialized in human rights, nonproliferation, security, and peace and justice-related topics. The aim of this paper is to compare the policy of these cities on international organizations (IOs) and international nongovernmental organizations (INGOs). These cities experience increased competition from other international cities hosting IOs and INGOs due to globalization. Therefore, the need exists to reformulate strategies in attracting and retaining IOs and INGOs. Through an intensive comparative method, this paper seeks to describe the parallels and differences between these three cities, concerning their strategies. Furthermore, it describes the current need to make use of well-coordinated lobbying strategies, policy networks and thematic policy coalitions in order to gain and retain IOs and INGOs in a successful way.

Title: Urban movements in Poland – a short presentation
Abstract:
Urban movements, borne out of civic activism in the first decade of the twenty-first century, function beyond the frameworks of official Polish urban development institutions and policies.In the recent years they have managed to enter the political debate, some of them morphing into a clearly political form of activism, often in reaction to controversial decisions taken by local governments. Becoming increasingly aware of the number and diversity of existing organisations active in the field, they decided to form a communication and exchange platform under the name of Congress of Urban Movements. There have been already four editions of this event and as a movement they have still to clarify what directions they want to develop and what organisational form to build in order to bridge city residents’ needs with current development policies in Polish cities. They elaborated a set of 15 Urban Theses that define the basic themes that characterise their activities. However, the question remains concerning the future direction of these movements and what role will they play in the urban policies of the coming decades.

Title: International hubs as a factor of local development: evidence from Luxembourg City, Luxembourg, and Leipzig, Germany
Abstract:
This paper discusses regional development in the context of logistics hub strategies, particularly in the air cargo business. It illustrates the associated potential and dilemmas with respect to a case study conducted in Luxembourg, the capital city of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and its emergence as a global hub for airfreight shipments. For comparative reasons, the paper also sheds light on the Leipzig–Halle Airport, Germany. Both cases illustrate the potential and limitations of international hubs to bring local and regional development forward.

Title: The impact of local factors on the scope of benefits from public investment: the case of tourism infrastructure in Saxon municipalities
Abstract:
Following the transition from socialist central planning economies to market economies in all of the former socialist countries, many regions have had to cope with severe structural changes and economic development problems. To overcome these problems, local governments have tried to invest in new public infrastructure to support the development of new industries. This paper looks at infrastructure that supports tourist activities and argues that the impact of infrastructure generally depends on certain local factors which differ between municipalities. One important factor is whether the local population possesses the relevant complementary factors, in particular the right ‘soft skills’.

Title: The governance of urban shrinkage in cities of post-socialist Europe: policies, strategies and actors
Abstract:
This paper presents results of an international comparative research project ‘Smart governance of shrinking cities in a European context’. In recent years, many European cities have experienced urban shrinkage (population decline). Whereas there has been a wealth of research into the governance of growing cities, little consideration has been given to the governance of and policy responses to shrinking cities, particularly in relation to the declining cities of post-socialist Central and Eastern Europe. The aim of this paper is to compare the governance responses to shrinkage in different national contexts and assess the policy responses applied. This is done through the comparison of case studies examining the governance of shrinkage in Leipzig (Germany), Bytom (Poland), Ostrava (Czechia) and Timisoara (Romania). Two different strategies have been identified. First, Leipzig – due to its inclusion in the (former Western) German welfare state – followed a reasonably holistic strategy implemented by strong public actors focused not only on economic growth, but also on tackling issues of falling housing demand and the need to strengthen the attractivity of city centre. Second, in Ostrava, Bytom and Timisoara strategies have been inspired by neoliberal thinking, denying the important role of public sector city planning and ignoring the fact of shrinkage. In these cities, the main reply to shrinkage has been to seek economic development through the attraction of private investment (especially FDI) into the cities and using pragmatically any EU structural funding.

Title: Integrate to compete: Gdańsk–Gdynia metropolitan area
Abstract:
The aim of this article was to analyse the problems related to the processes of creation of metropolitan areas. The Polish case of Gdańsk–Gdynia metropolitan area constitutes the basis for the discussion as its polycentric structure intensifies the problems that stem from integration and the restructuring of administrative power. The difficulties in the creation of new metropolitan entities are well illustrated by the lack of agreement on the name of a metropolitan area. Local and regional leaders’ different visions on metropolitan government deeply complicate political integration. The complexity of relations between metropolitan and the rural areas creates additional challenges for achieving a cohesive regional policy.

Title: Planning trajectories in post-socialist cities: patterns of divergence and change
Abstract:
This article explores the new planning regimes and planning processes in post-socialist countries and their ability to influence the spatial transformation of cities. It views planning institutions as culturally embedded in the overall process of economic, social, and political transition, while recognizing the power of specific local imperatives and market pressures to shape their response. The research draws on empirical evidence in four countries and their capital cities to highlight the links between the transition to democracy, markets, and decentralized governance on the spatial transformation in post-socialist cities. The main argument is that the new planning institutions have different ability to direct these processes of change, depending on the legal framework, the availability of plans, and the institutionalization of the plan-implementation process. Despite the diverse mosaic of urban experiences in Prague, Riga, Belgrade, and Tirana, planning institutions are viewed as path dependent, influenced by a common socialist legacy. Further, changes in the exogenous environment – economic, social, and institutional – are perceived to be important sources of convergence, but tend to shape different planning responses and policy choices. The research explores these differences as well as the new patterns of spatial transformation in three principal domains: (1) spaces of production/consumption reflecting the economic transition; (2) differentiation in residential spaces associated with the social transition; and (3) new approaches to planning and service delivery resulting from the transition in governance. Central to the arguments in the article is that transition of this magnitude has created a complex urban world in which the patterns of divergence are going to become more explicit in the future, producing spatial and temporal differentiation among post-socialist cities.

Title: The Role of Nonprofits in Meeting the Housing Challenge in the United States
Abstract:
Housing owned by nonprofit housing organizations comprises one of the two components of the U.S.’s social housing sector, the other being public housing. After providing relevant background about affordable rental housing programs in the United States (including federal, state, and local strategies); the overall size of the U.S. social housing sector; and the level of direct and indirect subsidies for housing, the article focuses on the key challenges facing the nonprofit housing sector. Details also are provided about the difficulties involved in navigating the Low Income Housing Tax Credit program for both nonprofit and for-profit developers. The final section offers suggestions for how nonprofits could be better supported through a series of ‘nonprofit-centric’ public policies and programs. Despite the ongoing need for more federal involvement in affordable housing, and the important role that nonprofit housing organizations are able to play, the current political situation in the United States means that an expanded federally supported affordable housing agenda is highly unlikely in the foreseeable future.

Title: Social Rented Housing in the (DIS)United Kingdom: Can Different Social Housing Regime Types Exist within the Same Nation State?
Abstract:
Welfare and housing regime literature has treated nation states as being uniform regime types. However, there is growing interest in the possible development of distinct regimes below the level of nation states. This article applies regime theory though a robust analytical framework to the devolution of social housing policy to the Scottish Parliament and Welsh and Northern Ireland Assemblies within the UK. We establish that prior to devolution, the UK’s social housing regime was firmly located within a residual model, but one that operated as a ‘safety net’. Particularly since the adoption of austerity by the UK Government in 2010 and divergence in political outlook between UK and devolved administrations, England’s social housing regime is beginning to morph into an ‘ambulance service’, whilst the ‘safety net’ model is being maintained in Northern Ireland and Wales, and strengthened in Scotland. However, with few powers with which to influence the ‘wider welfare regime’, high levels of poverty mean that the ‘boundaries of possibilities’ for the devolved administrations to create more than this distinctive regime sub-type – and so to move to a ‘social market’ performing a ‘wider affordability’ role – are limited. The theoretical and analytical framework developed in this article is capable of being applied to sub-nation state jurisdictions in other countries, and so enrichen comparative analysis.

Title: The organizational challenges of mixed-income development: privatizing public housing through cross-sector collaboration
Abstract:
One of the largely undocumented dimensions of public housing transformation in the United States is the multi-sector, multi-organizational collaborations whose charge is to manage the local implementation of mixed-income developments. In Chicago, private real estate developers entered into partnerships with the Chicago Housing Authority to finance, design, build, and manage the new developments. Key topics considered in this paper include the structures and processes of new organizational working relationships that have been established, how they are evolving over time, and the key operational challenges confronted in creating and sustaining them. We argue that these cross-sector collaborations within the context of the privatization of public housing generate complex organizational roles and dynamics that would benefit from far greater intentionality, clarity, and support to promote effectiveness and accountability.

Title: Moving towards age-inclusive public housing in Singapore
Abstract:
Like many countries around the world, Singapore is ageing rapidly. Its age-65-and-older population is expected to double to 1 in 4 persons by 2030, propelling Singapore towards a super-aged society. Where will they live? Notwithstanding the wider debate about high-rise living suitability, Singapore has started to retool its high-rise public housing where 80% of its resident population reside, for an ageing society. This paper discusses Singapore’s public housing development to meet the changing needs of population ageing. It explicates the process of physical transformation and key strategies towards ageing in place as well as older residents’ satisfaction with public housing.

Title: Political evolution in the Lisbon of the digital era. Fast urban changes, slow institutional restructuring and growing civic pressures
Abstract:
This article analyses the current outlook for governance and the structuring of urban political spaces in the city of Lisbon, in the face of a combination of transformative and significantly disruptive dynamics: from the far-reaching and dizzyingly fast changes underway in the city’s urban structure and its regional system, through the gradual reorganisation of its institutional and governmental structure, to the growing pressure from emerging urban movements. The article concludes with a critical analysis of the equally rapid redefinition of the main elements of disjunction as well as of the possible recomposition of the city’s political spaces.

Title: Social housing on trial: Institutions + Policy design
Abstract:
The recent global crisis exposed vulnerabilities of housing markets pointing to the need to build resilience through better policy tools and sustainable provision of social housing. In the context of fiscal austerity social housing is on trial affected by changing politics, privatization and concentration of urban poverty. This special issue explores the differences and similarities in housing policies and practices by focusing on social housing institutions and their ability to influence affordability and quality of housing. The focus is on private and not-for-profit provision in mixed-income developments supported through partnerships and a mix of policy instruments.

Title: Creative clusters in the regeneration of Valletta and the cultural politics of Strait Street
Abstract:
The paper aims to unfold the narrative of development in a creative cluster project for the regeneration of Strait Street in Valletta, Malta. This is approached by first examining the distinctive, historically contentious background of the neighbourhood and, thereafter, unpacking the development narrative of policy documents and the discursive and material constructs about the creative city approach to regeneration strategies in the city. Using a ‘system-wide’ analytical framework, this material is then scrutinized to gain an understanding of the specificities involved and, finally, discuss the crucial features of the key dimensions elucidating the potential strengths and weaknesses of the case

Title: Feasibility tools for urban animal husbandry in cities: case of greater Cairo
Abstract:
Productive urban landscape is a design concept integrating food growing and animal raising into the design of cities through public and private open spaces in an attempt to support local economic development. This research focuses on farm animals’ husbandry in cities as a type of local food production. Debates about governance tools for sustaining such economic sector arise frequently especially in Egypt, as one of the developing countries, striving to maintain urban quality of life, satisfy the community needs, and compensate the food prices’ increment. Accordingly, field questionnaires for residents of two rapidly expanding informal areas in Cairo (Zabaleen area in Agouza city) and (Masaken Osman in 6th of October city), together with questionnaires for experts and officials who are working in Urban Upgrading Units and those with experiences in the field of upgrading informal settlements were performed. This research thus aims at studying the feasibility and integration of such economic activities informally developing in unplanned areas in Egypt, as ‘new ruralism’, within the strategic and action planning of low-income and informal areas in a legalized regulatory system to tackle their challenges and enhance their economic role. Further, this research ends up with deducing specific values for prioritizing the types of governmental support (financial, space facilitations, social, and medical), as proposed by officials and residents representing the main incorporated stakeholders. This article also highlighted the unwillingness and the on-purpose ignorance of officials to sustain animal husbandry in cities, constituting a challenge that needs to be tackled in all developing countries not only in Egypt.

Title: Diversity and social cohesion: the case of Jane-Finch, a highly diverse lower-income Toronto neighbourhood
Abstract:
Diversity has increasingly emerged as the core focus of many studies concerning factors impacting on social cohesion. Various scholars have concluded that diversity is detrimental to cohesion. Most of this research, however, draws generalisations based upon quantitative data and fails to account for the impact of inequality, segregation and discrimination, and their interconnectedness to diversity. This research provides an in-depth qualitative analysis of the perceptions of inhabitants of a diverse Toronto neighbourhood regarding formal and informal interactions, common values and attachment. The findings suggest that the internalisation of gendered and class-based racism by inhabitants plays a crucial role in shaping perceptions and interactions.

Smart technologies create opportunities for urban development and regeneration, leading to a proliferation of projects/programmes designed to address city strategies around environmental, economic and social challenges. Whilst there is considerable critical debate on the merits of smart city developments, there has been surprisingly little research on the evaluation of smart interventions, and the outcomes of embedded smart technologies for cities and citizens. This examines case-study research undertaken in Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, Milton Keynes and Peterborough, on city approaches to smart city evaluation and reporting. Findings exemplify contemporary city evaluation and reporting practices, challenges and recommendations to support smart urban development.

Title: XXI. Century’s challenges for the regeneration of port cities – and for the regeneration of the Havana Bay and waterfront
Abstract:
Based on presentations and discussions during a one-week workshop at Havana, Cuba, in June 2017, the article gives an overview of conditions and options for the regeneration of the Havana Bay and the City of Havana. Although the City of Havana seems to be an excellent location for all kinds of international businesses and tourism because of its favourable geographic and climate conditions as well as its outstanding cultural heritage, many big problems must be solved in an ambitious regeneration process. In order to significantly enhance economic growth and development, it is required to remove some political and legal barriers, but even more it is needed to restore environmental and living conditions around the Havana Bay.

Title: ‘Co-producing affordability’ to the electricity service: a market-oriented response to addressing inequality of access in Rio de Janeiro’s
Abstract:
User involvement in service organisation is seen as a potential means of improving and resolving service delivery issues. The aim of this article is to review a market-oriented project involving electricity customers in the favelas – defined here as an example of ‘co-producing affordability’ to the service – in order to enhance understanding of the diverse collaborative arrangements in service delivery in the South. By examining the part played by the institutional stakeholders involved in the project and the partial dissatisfaction that arose among users, this article will highlight the limitations of this approach for addressing disparities in access to services.

Title: When urban modernisation entails service delivery co-production: a glance from Medellin
Abstract:
Through the example of Ciudadela Nuevo Occidente, a large social housing district in Medellín, this article describes a process that primarily involves co-learning and micro-negotiations that help produce the cognitive alignment necessary to the management of services. The hypothesis put forward in this article is that the frictions caused by the residents’ difficulties in adapting to the socio-economic, cultural and cognitive frameworks of their new environment, imposed by urban modernisation running processes, engender forms of service co-production that ultimately strengthen the utility’s capacity to extend and adapt its delivery model while enhancing the quality of services.

Title: Between coproduction and commons: understanding initiatives to reclaim urban energy provision in Berlin and Hamburg
Abstract:
This article explores new geographies of coproduction emerging in urban energy politics. It analyses processes of remunicipalisation of urban utilities, involving the re-establishment of public ownership with a strong democratic and ecological agenda for governing energy infrastructures, with case studies of the German cities of Berlin and Hamburg. Seeking ways of understanding these developments which transcend conventional binaries, such as public vs. private ownership or consumer vs. producer, we interpret them in relation to debates first about coproduction and then about urban commons. This latter concept, we argue, provides deeper analytical purchase on new grassroots energy initiatives and the politics that unfold in remunicipalisation conflicts, offering a new avenue for enriching research on the coproduction of energy.

Title: The co-production of a constant water supply in Mumbai’s middle-class apartments
Abstract:
The lush gardens and gleaming cars that surround Mumbai’s middle-class apartment buildings hint at plentiful water supplies. However, piped mains water is only supplied for a few hours per day. This research explores the pragmatic choreography of water sources to co-produce a constant supply. Middle-class households respond to the limited municipal water supply through the use of mains water storage tanks, wells, water trucks, packaged water and rainwater harvesting. This portfolio of water supplies involves various actors and is an important instance of domestic service co-production. This article suggests that introducing rainwater harvesting creates opportunities for more water use in these households and allows a reconsideration of water provision and governance citywide.

Title: Water trajectories through non-networked infrastructure: insights from peri-urban Dar es Salaam, Cochabamba and Kolkata
Abstract:
For many urbanites, infrastructural uncertainty refers to ‘predictable shocks’ rather than constituting a quotidian experience. By contrast, for the peri-urban poor, the sources of uncertainty underpinning water and sanitation services are endless: uncertainty about cost, about being evicted and indeed about ever becoming connected to networked systems.Drawing on a number of case studies, we argue that across the urban global south, the future is not one of networked systems but rather one of ‘infrastructural archipelagos’ that need to be thoroughly understood in order to bridge the growing gap between everyday and large infrastructural planning practices.

Title: A socio-natural standpoint to understand coproduction of water, energy and waste services
Abstract:
This introductory article of the special issue on ‘Geographies of water, energy and waste service coproduction’ explores the implications of coproducing these services in terms of both accessibility and environmental sustainability. According to a socio-natural standpoint, provision extent and resources metabolized by the services are equally regarded employing a threefold conceptual framework integrating actor/flow and area fields. A rich variety of service coproduction geographies in terms of actors involved, resources mobilized and urban spaces covered emerges. More importantly, coproduction of water, energy and waste services proves to leverage on both service accessibility and environmental sustainability of the related resources.

Title: A policy approach to the impact of tourist dwellings in condominiums and neighbourhoods in Barcelona
Abstract:
Tourism is a strong business sector in Spain. In terms of tourist accommodation, in addition to hotels, guesthouses and rural housing, more and more private dwellings are increasingly being transformed into tourist dwellings. Thus, in 2014, lodgings offered by these tourist dwellings were nearly twice the lodgings offered by hotels: 2.7 million compared to 1.4 million. This phenomenon is being greatly facilitated by new online platforms known as ‘collaborative economy’ – e.g. Airbnb or HomeAway. Barcelona, in particular, experiences a high concentration of tourist dwellings in certain neighbourhoods, as it is the fourth-ranked destination in terms of Airbnb guests. And in addition to the positive economic impact on the city and households, this phenomenon has also brought some negative side effects, even more in a country where 66.5% of the population live in flats (the highest amongst EU Member States), which are normally organised as condominiums. The aim of this article is twofold. First, to present the main negative impact of the abrupt growth concerning the transformation of private dwellings into tourist dwellings: the effects on the housing market in general on the liveability and security in neighbourhoods and also in condominiums. Second, to address the policies affecting both at public and private levels in order to protect and preserve neighbourhoods and condominiums without hindering the tourist development in the city. Measures such as the suspension on the concession of tourist dwellings licences, the approval of a new special urban planning and the regulation of a room rental scheme will be mentioned.

Title: Ten years of the new tramline 4: reconnecting northern and southern neighbourhoods of Turin by public transport
Abstract:
Ten years after extension and renovation works were conducted on the line as part of the urban transformation process for the 2006 Winter Olympics, tramline 4 is the most widely used in Turin and has played a significant role in the evolution of public transport. Featuring a length of 15.8 km, 45 stops, approximately 60 min from one end of the route to the other and a frequency of 5 min in peak hours, tramline 4 is the most important infrastructure in the north–south axis of the city. It has also played a crucial role in reconnecting distant neighbourhoods to the rest of the city. Indeed, it crosses the city from one end to the other, revealing the complexity of the former Italian one-company town. Thus, not only is tramline 4 a simple means of transport but also a mobile social and physical cross section of Turin.

Title: The built environment, transportation policy, and population health: a comparison of two cities
Abstract:
This preliminary study assesses the relationship between active transportation, the built environment, and population perceived health in two comparable cities in the Southeastern United States at different stages of improving infrastructure for active commuting. Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey data from 2006 to 2012 were analyzed for Charlotte, NC, and Jacksonville, FL. The annual difference between the percentage of Charlotte respondents rating physical health as good compared to Jacksonville’s increased at a rate of 13% based on an exponential growth regression model (p = 0.02). Supportive urban and transportation policies aimed at facilitating healthy behaviors are associated with healthier communities.

Title: Localising urbanisation trajectories: comparing the emergence of second-tier urban regions in Europe (1890–2011)
Abstract:
This paper compares the emergence of urban regions around European second-tier cities based on population data between 1890 and 2011. It asks whether a characteristic trajectory of formation exists for those urban regions distinguishing them from the centrifugal growth typical of the early expansion stages of larger cities. The results are consistent with existing research and contribute to a spatial-historical characterisation of second-tier urban region formation. Their dominant long-term urbanisation mode lies somewhere between centrifugal and polycentric models of development, suggesting a more nuanced interpretation of urbanisation timelines and stressing the legacy of past urban growth in current urbanisation dynamics.

Title: Pragmatism or idealism? An urban perspective onto the politics of interurban cooperation for sustainability in the EU
Abstract:
European cities have been committed to achieve urban sustainability, participating in interurban networks dealing with socio-ecological issues. By examining the incentives derived by the involvement in these networks and the municipal political milieu where the decision about network participation is taken, this article seeks to understand the motivations for European cities to take part in sustainability networks. To do so, a small-N qualitative analysis was undertaken. The results show that cities’ participation in socio-ecological urban networks (SEUNs) is motivated by the economic, political and formative incentives that membership provides, and is influenced by institutionalised values, political agency and previous cooperative experience.

Title: Artist intermediaries in Berlin: cultural intermediation as an interscalar strategy of self-organizational survival
Abstract:
This paper argues that intermediation is both a valuable form of occupational self-organization for professional artists and a political act of embedding with socio-spatial ramifications at different local, urban, and global scales. A case study of events organized in Berlin by the interdisciplinary cultural centre Zentrum für Kunst und Urbanistik demonstrates how artists strategically practice intermediation as modes of autopoietic and dissipative self-organization and as an interscalar survival strategy. These artist intermediaries add improvisational flexibility to the state’s understanding of Verstetigung (sustainable anchoring that fosters a reliable relationship between urban policymakers and cultural producers) and challenge neoliberal urban development logics that instrumentalize creativity.

Title: Transformative change: energy-efficiency and social housing retrofits in Canadian cities
Abstract:
The article provides the first comparative assessment of the energy-efficiency retrofit programs in social housing of the largest cities in Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta, focusing on program efficiency and effectiveness. The analytical framework explores key policy instruments – regulatory, fiscal and institutional – in relation to major results achieved. In terms of efficiency, the grant programs were highly relevant, timely and successful in meeting their objectives generating improvements in two-thirds of the social housing in Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary. The effectiveness was moderate, with targeted approaches to retrofits, integrating both mechanical and building envelope measures with high potential for energy savings. One of the greatest challenges was the high cost of the program, the lack of sustainability in funding and and the cost recovery of comprehensive retrofits..

Title: Building sustainable futures for post-industrial regeneration: the case of Taranto, Italy
Abstract:
In Italy, planning processes are often introduced by a Program of strategic objectives, drawn up in conjunction with the initial phases of a Strategic environmental assessment. This combination of preliminary processes offers significant space for strategic approaches and even strategic plans, particularly at the local level. This paper deals with Taranto, a socially and environmentally problematic and decaying industrial city in southern Italy. The present research shows and discusses the starting context of a recent, innovative strategic planning process, dealing with the complexity of the Taranto context through a scenario-building approach, hybridized with a cognitive-map-based interaction model.

Title: Living together privately: for a cautious reading of cohousing
Abstract:
The paper analyses cohousing as a part of the phenomenon of private residential communities. First, we provide an overview of cohousing and we identify its five constitutive characteristics. Second, we propose a comparison between the constitutive features of cohousing and of other kinds of private residential communities. Third, we argue that the interpretation of cohousing within the context of private residential communities raises some doubts about a completely positive interpretation of the phenomenon and about policies for promoting it.

Title: Twin cities in the process of metropolisation
Abstract:
Metropolisation is understood here as the process through which a loose collection of proximally located cities starts to become more functionally, culturally and institutionally integrated. It can be assumed that in theory metropolisation enhances performance, and indeed this conviction underlies many European metropolitan development strategies. Yet little is known about how this potential is realised in practice. This paper explores the process of metropolisation in three European ‘twin cities’: Linköping–Norrköping (Sweden), Rotterdam–The Hague (Netherlands) and Gdansk–Gdynia (Poland). We find preliminary evidence that metropolisation is an upward spiral of integration in which policy-makers play an active role.

Title: Facilitated and emergent social learning in sustainable urban redevelopment: exposing a mismatch and moving towards convergence
Abstract:
This article makes a case for the importance of social learning in urban planning and development practice, particularly in the context of attempts to achieve higher standards of sustainability. We proceed by comparing learning outcomes in Vancouver’s Southeast False Creek and Melbourne’s Docklands urban redevelopment projects. We find that the instrumental model of learning supports facilitated learning approaches pursued in a manner that is mostly disconnected from the learning being demanded for improved decision-making and improved results. The emergent learning which can be empirically demonstrated, which is more easily explained by a systems-theory model, lacks exposure to deliberative process.

Title: The Oslo transport packages 1–3: success by local initiatives
Abstract:
Queues, traffic jam and chaos characterised Oslo in the 1980s. The region Oslo/Akershus had for decades in vain been waiting for national finance in order to solve the problem. A local transport package based on road charging gave the funding for building roads. The region grew by 22% in population in the period 2000–2012. The road traffic has increased by 6% and the public transport by 38% in Oslo, a massive success. Sixty percent of the funds are now invested in public transport. Public attitudes are rather positive. There are still queues, but they are reduced. The local firm ‘Fjellinjen’ owned by Oslo and Akershus do not pay dividends and has reduced administrative and running costs to 10%.

Title: Planning for military real estate conversion: collaborative practices and urban redevelopment projects in two Italian cities
Abstract:
Despite the fact that the strategic dismissal of a number of military bases has been affecting contemporary urban and rural areas and becoming a new challenge for city planning and policy-making, little attention has been paid to this complex topic at an international level. Several authors have suggested that collaborative planning processes are crucial for the success of military real estate conversion. This article analyzes the Italian policy for the alienation and leasing of public real estate between 1997 and 2012 through the analysis of two projects whose focus was on military real estate in central Italy. This analysis shows why collaboration was not able to solve the significant urban challenges related to the conversion of these areas. The authors suggest taking national policy and local variables and solutions into further consideration (e.g. the quality and design of the physical environment, the policy tools available in the potentially conflictual institutional setting of military base conversion) rather than considering the collaboration with the local community alone.

Title: Between suburbanisation and re-urbanisation: revisiting the urban life cycle in a Mediterranean compact city
Abstract:
The redistribution of population over larger regions progressively further away from the dense core seems to be the new feature of the (originally compact) Mediterranean cities. With the aim of better understanding the nature of the urban transition taking place in these cities, we studied the phenomenon of population redistribution in Athens Metropolitan Area (AMA) in light of the city’s Urban Life Cycle (ULC). The research was carried out for a time frame of 60 years (1951–2011) using spatial analysis, correlation and multivariate statistics. Results reveal a phase of compact urban expansion occurring in the AMA until 1991, reflected in suburbanisation processes in the immediate proximity of the urban agglomeration. In the following period, the analysis showed signs of a period of transition difficult to interpret within the approach adopted by the ULC theory. A number of municipalities of the urban area experienced positive rates of population growth after decades of decline, while municipalities of the agglomeration and ring remain relatively stable. Altogether, these results can be interpreted as signs of a potential future re-urbanisation. The analysis performed provides insights on the debate over the future of Mediterranean cities, while demonstrating the advantages of adopting a multi-scale assessment methodology for identifying urban transitions.

Title: Exchange of knowledge and expertise for sustainable urban development: experiences from cross-disciplinary and transnational cooperation between practitioners and researchers in the Öresund region
Abstract:
This article presents the work of a cross-disciplinary Danish–Swedish collaboration project. The aim was to create best practices for sustainable urban settlements in the Öresund Region. Researchers and practitioners from municipalities in the region evaluated local and European projects for new urban areas and urban renewal using six concepts – identity, density, diversity, landscape, resources and governance. These concepts were also used for creating scenarios for four case areas and for a general discussion of sustainable urban environments summarised in a toolbox. The cooperation revealed diverse approaches to urban renewal and the significance of local legislation and financial prerequisites for renewal processes.

Title: ‘Orthodox’ and ‘alternative’ explanations for the reduction of urban violence in Medellín, Colombia
Abstract:
In 2016, 43 of the 50 most dangerous cities in the world were located in Latin America. In reducing levels of urban violence and preventing future outbreaks, approaches developed in Western Europe and North America are the most influential and have been subjected to considerable testing in high-income urban environments.This article focuses on Medellín, Colombia. By drawing from qualitative data collected in Medellín, the article scrutinises claims that the social urbanism policies caused the significant reduction in homicides. An alternative explanation for the reduction in homicides is then presented, focusing on the methods of the perpetrators of violence.

Title: Citizen dialogue for whom? Competing rationalities in urban planning, the case of Gothenburg, Sweden
Abstract:
This paper analyses citizen dialogue in urban planning from a governmentality perspective. We focus on (1) how motives and goals connected to ‘citizen dialogue’ and the activities and practices initiated to accomplish these can be understood in light of competing rationalities and (2) how public officials and other actors involved in organising citizen dialogues understand and manage the tensions between competing rationalities. The analysis draws on a case study of urban development in the city of Gothenburg, Sweden. We suggest a critical approach to the use of citizen dialogue as a technology of government, an approach enabling an analysis of various functions and implications of citizen dialogues.

Title: Gentrification in new-build and old-build transit-oriented developments: the case of Bengaluru
Abstract:
Indian cities have seen substantial investment in building metro systems, with a few cities operating full-fledged metro. In the case of city of Bengaluru, the influx of public investment on transit and favourable zoning incentives are attracting around 26% of housing investment in transit-oriented developments (TODs). This paper examines whether such a large-scale influx of public and private capital is leading to gentrification in TODs. The findings indicate that the new housing projects in TODs are causing new-build gentrification, but the old build existing housing remains ungentrified. Towards mitigating gentrification issues, the paper recommends inclusive and equitable TOD strategies.

Title: Is the ability of politicians to act as representatives between elections hampered in systems inspired by NPM?
Abstract:
In this article, I explore and analyse how the application of systems inspired by New (Normal) Public Management affects the capacity of politicians to act on behalf of the people. The aim is to acquire new knowledge about how output-based financial and performance measurement systems affect the form and content of deliberative processes between elections. The analysis is based on an extensive empirical process, both backwards and forwards in time, tracing analysis of a critical event that occurred within education policy in a Swedish municipality. One main hypothesis generated is that NPM-inspired systems have a negative effect on deliberations between elections in ways that generate lock-in effects that hamper the ability of politicians to act as representatives between elections.

Title: Urban planning in the most liveable city: Vienna
Abstract:
Vienna is a top-ranking city in living quality. To keep the standard despite the fact that it is one of the fastest growing cities within the European Union urban planning becomes a crucial focus Point. Still the city has no ghettos, segregated areas, gated communities and no-go districts and this has to be the same in the future. Vienna has to stay a compact city preventing urban sprawl. Density and quality is a goal and planning processes are focussing on that issue. Vienna's approach can be an answer how to deal with the challenges that many cities faces.

Title: Urban Improvement Districts as new form of local governance
Abstract:
A growing number of German towns established Urban Improvement Districts (UIDs) as instrument of redevelopment of urban neighbourhoods. Real-estate owners and further actors participate politically and contribute financially to the process of revaluation, but this brings about problems of local democracy, legitimation, participation and accountability. The article examines the implementation of UIDs in three German cities and compares experiences made with this new instrument of participative urban development. It focuses on the implications for local democracy and explores whether UIDs could be useful instruments of city governance and appropriate arrangements to unlock additional resources at local level.

Title: Quantifying a century of state intervention in rental housing in Germany
Abstract:
The paper aims at measuring the general state intervention in rental housing market in Germany from 1913 through 2015. Four policy classes are considered: Incentives for social housing, tenant protection, housing rationing, and rent controls. Based on a legislation analysis, for each class an index measuring the degree of regulation is constructed. The indices reflect dramatic increases in regulations during and after the World Wars. The 2010s are characterized by a surge in all classes of regulations related to the growing housing scarcity in large cities due to interregional migration leading to a geographical mismatch between housing supply and demand.

Title: The legacies of Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics: an evaluation of the Adler Olympic Park
Abstract:
The study investigates the legacies of the 2014 Winter Olympics, and, in particular, it focuses on the evaluation of the new public open spaces created after their stage and their sustainability outcomes. Indeed, Sochi was the second city, after London 2012, with a chapter dedicated to legacy in its candidature file. The study develops a post-occupancy evaluation of the Adler Olympic Park, the coastal cluster, and one of the main legacies of the Games. Findings highlight that the Games failed in the achievement of almost all the legacy promises made in the bid book.

Title: An evaluation of urban regeneration: the effectiveness of a retail-led project in Lisbon
Abstract:
To overcome the decline of the vitality and viability of town centres across several Western European cities, urban regeneration projects have been implemented. Despite their dissemination, there are shortcomings regarding the evaluation of the impacts produced by such projects. We aim to contribute to the existing literature on the subject by undertaking an evaluation of a retail-led urban regeneration project that was implemented in Lisbon’s historic centre. We conclude that although there were significant outputs, the project was not effective and did not manage to improve the viability of the area as an important commercial area of Lisbon.

Title: The New Urban Agenda: key opportunities and challenges for policy and practice
Abstract:
The UN-HABITAT III conference held in Quito in late 2016 enshrined the first Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) with an exclusively urban focus. SDG 11, as it became known, aims to make cities more inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable through a range of metrics, indicators, and evaluation systems. It also became part of a post-Quito ‘New Urban Agenda’ that is still taking shape. This paper raises questions around the potential for reductionism in this new agenda, and argues for the reflexive need to be aware of the types of urban space that are potentially sidelined by the new trends in global urban policy.

Title: After poverty reduction: trajectories of U.S. urban neighborhoods that escaped high poverty during the 1990s
Abstract:
Based on the Neighborhood Change Database, this study tracks U.S. urban neighborhoods that escaped the high-poverty category during the poverty reduction trend in the 1990s and explores their poverty transition patterns in the subsequent decade. Escaped neighborhoods exhibit a significant propensity to relapse back into high poverty. This study found several neighborhood characteristics to be associated with a neighborhood’s ability to resist poverty relapse, such as high educational attainment and residential stability of the inhabitants. Homeownership is also found to be a neighborhood stabilizer, but its effect varies by specific racial and ethnic groups.

Title: Harnessing inclusive urban knowledge for the implementation of the New Urban Agenda
Abstract:
City-level data are needed to inform local strategies as well as to monitor progress towards the implementation of the New Urban Agenda (NUA). Not only do cities need more data, they also need information that is context sensitive and relevant to local policy needs. This paper reviews over 23 global urban data initiatives, concluding that the global urban data landscape in its current form is unable to support the implementation and monitoring of the NUA. Engaging a broader range of stakeholders in knowledge production is necessary as existing data offer a narrow understanding of the processes at play in cities.

Title: Migration, caste and livelihood: evidence from Indian city-slums
Abstract:
This paper based on a primary survey of slum dwellers in four Indian cities examines the caste dimension of migrants and the nexus, if any, between caste and the job market participation. Based on the quantitative exercises, we observe overlaps between social and economic status. A higher propensity to migrate is evident among the population belonging to the general (GEN) category and other backward castes in comparison to the scheduled castes and tribes who are at the bottom of the caste hierarchy. The disadvantaged castes are not even in a position to take the benefits of migration. Further, those with higher caste status seem to have better endowments required for absorption in the urban job market; the migrants of higher caste status are absorbed in relatively better jobs compared to the lower castes. Migrant workers from GEN category draw relatively higher incomes. On the whole, when both the caste and migration dimensions are combined, at the lower echelons, migration does pay if the worker is better off in terms of caste status. From this point of view, it is argued that special programmes offering improved access to livelihood opportunities need to be pursued in the rural areas so that the disadvantaged castes are able to reduce their vulnerability.

Title: Communities making social change from below. Social innovation and democratic leadership in two disenfranchised neighbourhoods in Barcelona
Abstract:
Drawing upon 4 initiatives of social innovation embedded in two disenfranchised neighbourhoods: Nou Barris Nord and Sants in Barcelona (Spain), we illustrate different ways in which bottom-up processes can contribute to neighbourhood resilience. The paper explores the nature of social change by bringing together systemic approaches to social innovation and relational theories of collective leadership. In this vein, it is argued that both contextual neighbourhood features and collective leadership practices dialectically explain not only how and why social innovation initiatives emerge but also their social impact in terms of effectiveness and scalability.

Title: Attracting investment by introducing the city as a special economic zone: a perspective from Mauritius
Abstract:
Increasing urbanisation require proportionate capital injections in infrastructural projects to respond to local challenges. However, local public investments, especially in low-income economies and nations, are scare due to their low budgetary capacity, resulting in a downgrade of quality in primary public infrastructure; hence, impacting on liveability levels of socio-economic dimensions of these cities. This article proposes a policy tool to address this issue by envisaging the city as a Special Economic Zone with appropriately formulated fiscal mechanisms to encourage private sector investment in the public domain in accordance with guidelines and objectives set by government or public institutions.

Title: How to attract more landlords to the housing choice voucher program: a case study of landlord outreach efforts
Abstract:
Since 1980, the focus of American housing policy has shifted away from project-based to tenant-based subsidies, i.e. the Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCVP). Yet many HCVP recipients have remained in high-poverty and high-minority areas of central cities. To improve the effectiveness of HCVP in expanding residential choices, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is encouraging local public housing authorities to utilize a variety of techniques to provide more opportunity for voucher recipients to move to low poverty areas including meetings with current or prospective owners, owners’ newsletters, owner fairs, program videos and direct contact with owners. Although there has been a considerable body of research on voucher recipients in the Gautreaux and Moving to Opportunity programs, two special housing voucher programs, there has been little research on the effectiveness of landlord outreach efforts as part of the regular HCVP. We therefore conducted a case study of landlord outreach efforts currently being implemented by the Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing Authority. We combined observation of landlord outreach events with semi-structured interviews to determine reasons why landlords do or do not participate, landlords’ perceptions on the extent to which HCVP addresses their concerns, what they take away from these events, and how outreach efforts might be improved. This case study indicates that there is considerable room for improvement in landlord outreach efforts by the housing authority. The policy implications for HUD as well as public housing authorities across the United States are discussed.

Title: Exploring residential satisfaction in shrinking cities: a decision-tree approach
Abstract:
The number of cities experiencing population decline has been increasing worldwide. Despite the existence of theoretical propositions of shrinkage as an opportunity to increase levels of residential satisfaction, the issue has not been addressed empirically. This article contributes to fill this gap by assessing, through survey, the residential satisfaction of inhabitants of four shrinking Portuguese cities.Data were analysed by means of a tree-decision approach: the Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detection analysis. A sense of safety is the feature that best discriminates inhabitants’ level of residential satisfaction. The results show that shrinkage due to deindustrialisation processes is detrimental to residential satisfaction.

Title: Managing optimum urban density in block, parcel and cell levels –a case study in Isfahan, Iran
Abstract:
Urban density (UD) management is one of the major challenges faced by cities. Studies on density estimation and modeling show the significance of this issue in the growing cities and metropolises. The density models for any area, however, cannot be generalized to other regions due to the specific socio-economic, cultural or environmental parameters. A model in land information system environment was developed. This model has the capacity to analyze UD in three levels: blocks, parcels or cells. The model was successfully tested in a town of around 250,000 people and provided an optimal density model for the study area.

Title: Analysis of Indian urban policies to identify their potential of achieving inclusive urban growth
Abstract:
India’s approach to development has always been a combination of ‘pro-poor growth’ strategies. In spite of that, majority urban population has remained deprived from basic necessity of human life. In an effort to overhaul this stagnation, the country has consciously shifted its development ideology to inclusive growth in 11th Five-Year Plan 2007. Although the plan did not define inclusive growth, but initiates a debate on the significance of inclusive growth with earlier policy approaches. Initiating a policy argument, this paper records an overview of Indian policy approaches up to year 2014 and analyses its possibilities of achieving inclusive urban growth.

Title: Institutionalizing Metropolitan cities in Italy. Success and limits of a centralistic, simplifying approach
Abstract:
The article presents an overview of the recent institutionalization in Italy of the ‘Metropolitan cities’ as introduced by the Law 56/2014. The study analyses the process of institutionalization of this new level of government, the rationales of the reform promoted by the Law and the reasons for its success in making the Metropolitan cities effective. Problematic issues that the reform has not solved and that can weaken its effectiveness are also examined, underpinning specifically the question of the boundaries and the inner spatial organization of Metropolitan cities, and the rescaling of functions from Regions and Municipalities to Metropolitan cities.

Title: A review of Toyota City’s eco-policy: changes in citizens’ awareness between 2012 and 2015
Abstract:
Raising public awareness of environmental policies is widely considered an important aspect of their successful implementation. This article contributes to our understanding of awareness-raising campaigns by focusing the case of Toyota City. It examines how awareness of eco-policy changed between 2012 and 2015. Data collected from questionnaires were analyzed by year and residency, focusing on (1) how Toyota citizens’ and non-citizens’ awareness of eco-policy changed during the research period and (2) how awareness differed between Toyota citizens and those from elsewhere. Findings suggest some evidence that the city’s activities may have been effective in increasing awareness of its eco-policy among its citizens. Awareness of the city’s eco-policy was significantly higher among Toyota citizens in 2015 than in 2012 and among those from elsewhere in either period. This study draws some practical recommendations for raising awareness of similar initiatives elsewhere. Moreover, it reflects on how further research may more fully explore the relationship between the effectiveness and the awareness of urban environmental policy initiatives.

Title: Should we care about neutrality in the city?
Abstract:
Neutrality in political philosophy is a contested idea. The paper argues that there are valid moral reasons to incorporate neutrality in spatial organization considerations, by appealing to universal reasons rather than sectarian reasons. This is a view that defends ‘justificatory neutrality’. The paper responds to previous concerns regarding the applicability of neutrality in the spatial sphere, arguing that the conception of justificatory neutrality successfully addresses these concerns. Yet, the paper raises doubts whether the arguments that persist in the current political philosophy literature can or should, at the end of the day, be applied to the spatial sphere.

Title: Taming wickedness: industrial megaprojects and local governance strategies
Abstract:
Theoretical literature suggests that the complex problems many local governments are facing are drivers towards innovation and new types of collaborative governance arrangements. We add nuance to this presumption by exploring how two Norwegian municipalities act when faced with problems related to mineral extraction and tax revenue. The article shows that similar types of problems give rise to significantly different strategies, ranging from collaborative arrangements to authoritative and competitive strategies. In conclusion, the article argues that local governments need to develop a higher innovative preparedness, and that scholars should also be attentive to governance strategies that are not collaborative.

Title: The smart city and its publics: insights from across six UK cities
Abstract:
In response to policy-makers’ increasing claims to prioritise ‘people’ in smart city development, we explore the publicness of emerging practices across six UK cities: Bristol, Glasgow, London, Manchester, Milton Keynes, and Peterborough. Local smart city programmes are analysed as techno-public assemblages invoking variegated modalities of publicness. Our findings challenge the dystopian speculative critiques of the smart city, while nevertheless indicating the dominance of ‘entrepreneurial’ and ‘service user’ modes of the public. We highlight the risk of bifurcation within smart city assemblages, such that the ‘civic’ and ‘political’ roles of the public become siloed into less obdurate strands of programmatic activity.

Title: Prioritization of development interventions in Egyptian slums through an urban appraisal index
Abstract:
The evident conflict in upgrading policies between several entities necessitates the crucial need to develop a reliable urban appraisal method to ensure successful interventions. The Egyptian initiative, aims at categorizing them into ‘unsafe’ versus ‘unplanned’ areas. Yet, it has ignored some basic socio-spatial and psychological quality of life indicators. Accordingly, the study aims at strengthening the local-level data collection through testing the reliability of the ‘ISDF’ index versus the two other sets of indicators statistically, by conducting an urban socio-economic survey on 30 different Ashwa’iyyat areas in Egypt.

Title: How do open space characteristics influence open space use? A study of Melbourne’s Southbank Promenade
Abstract:
With the importance of open spaces to urban quality of life being increasingly recognized, knowledge about which spatial characteristics influence open space use, how, and why is of growing interest to open space researchers, designers and managers. Through an observational survey of Southbank Promenade in Melbourne, Australia, the research examines how various specific design characteristics of open spaces correspond to their actual uses. The findings show that different levels and kinds of uses are associated with the different space features of three distinct sections of Southbank Promenade, under varying time and weather conditions.

Title: A comprehensive approach in green space site planning: an application of a three-stage multi-criteria decision support system
Abstract:
To green space site planning, this paper deals with ‘Regional Park site planning’, and presents a concept of ‘criteria screening and selection’. Through a three-stage decision support system, this paper, firstly, identifies general criteria for green space site planning and then comes up with specific criteria for Regional Park site planning within Shiraz metropolitan area. The paper contributes to the literature by improving the existing approaches of criteria selection, and points out that the list of selection criteria aggregated from literature should be adapted to case specific characteristics before being used to select a new location for public green spaces.

Title: The role of policy learning in urban mobility adaptation: exploring Vancouver’s plan to remove the Georgia and Dunsmuir viaducts
Abstract:
In 2015, Vancouver’s City Council approved a plan for removing the Georgia and Dunsmuir viaducts and replacing 2.6 km of vestigial expressway infrastructure with a surface boulevard, parks, public space, and housing. This article explores whether policy learning from other cities influenced Vancouver’s decision. Using the Dolowitz-Marsh framework, we found evidence that planners,politicians, and the public introduced examples of expressway removal and infrastructure adaptation during Vancouver’s policymaking process and that lesson drawing influenced the outcome. The policy learning revealed here shows how North American cities can advance a more equal redistribution of urban space by removing expressway infrastructure.

Title: Rethinking youth policy model in Europe and its constituents: civic learning and civic engagement
Abstract:
Drawing on the European framework for youth policy, the paper initially explores an idealized model of what governments at their best can do regarding youth policy in Europe, including its objective, core, and means. A critical analysis of the European framework yields a new dimension – internal/external Political Efficacy – which plays a pivotal role as a connector between the core and the means of youth policy. The model of youth policy proposed here is fundamentally underpinned by two means: Civic Learning and Civic Engagement. Lastly, the paper proposes the model of managing a holistic feature of the youth policy.

Title: Urban reuse of public spaces in ‘central suburbs’. Two districts between two rivers in the city of Cosenza (Italy)
Abstract:
The article describes the results of a research on the theme of regeneration of urban public spaces in historical centres. A multidisciplinary methodological approach of cooperation of various knowledge was adopted to define, also through the application of open and inclusive participatory approaches, precise intervention actions. The research uses two areas on the edge of the historical city of Cosenza (Italy) as a case study. The research, therefore, has achieved, among its main results, that of reinforcing the awareness that an urban context unable to maintain relationships loses its meaning and becomes but a museum of itself.

Title: ‘Wiener Null’ – levelling the city of Vienna
Abstract:
In 19thcentury Vienna was bounded by topographic elements of the hilly landscape and marsh land. Therefore,it could not easily spread and the regrading of the townscape was undertaken. Thus far, these aspects of historic urban planning have been relatively unexamined; this paper offers some essential findings.Grading adjustments occurred in the course of the two major city extensions or was triggered by infrastructural installation work. Further levelling was engaged—and organised by building codes—in order to improve traffic flow and for flood mitigation. The latter became the most effective intervention as it fundamentally restructured all low-lying districts.

Title: Urban rehabilitation, governance, and housing affordability: lessons from Portugal
Abstract:
This paper examines the role of ‘urban rehabilitation societies’, a legal and institutional framework launched by the Portuguese government in 2004 and implemented locally ever since. The paper discusses how this model has provided an alibi for neoliberal narratives, grounded on the virtues of the market and on market-oriented strategies. The research methodology uses a combination of qualitative documentary analysis and face-to-face interviews with government officials and public officers to scrutinize the effects of policies on issues of governance and housing affordability.

Title: Sustainable smart city development framework for developing countries
Abstract:
Basic requirements of sustainable smart cities in a developing country are the entitlement of facilities. Here, an index named Smart Sustainable City Development Index (SSCDI) has been developed for three Indian Smart Cities. A hierarchical method has been used to construct the index with multiple layers of indicators capturing characteristics of the dimensions such as social, economic, environment, culture and lifestyle. This index is used to assess performances of the three case study cities based on the scores in various indicators. This SSCDI framework provides a conceptual landscape for developing countries for planning their sustainable urban development and evaluation of performances.

Title: Public engagement under authoritarian entrepreneurialism: the Belgrade Waterfront project
Abstract:
Urban megaprojects as a spatial manifestation of neoliberalism are in transitional societies considered a tool for extra-profit for private developers and a source of great corruption among the high-level public authorities. Consequently, such a relationship has negative effects on socio-spatial reality. The paper illustrates how a large-scale unitary project – the Belgrade Waterfront project – jeopardizes the public participation through: the misuse of legal procedures and spatial planning instruments, neglect of private property rights, and simulation of public debate. The conditions enabling democratic social, political and professional environment as a backbone for citizen involvement in public issues are briefly indicated in conclusion.

Title: Maximising cruise tourism outcomes in small-medium cruise ports: lessons from Atlantic Canada
Abstract:
There has been significant growth in cruise ship tourism in recent decades, leading to benefits and problems for host ports, with most growth concentrated in small-medium cruise ports, and these have sought to develop policy and practice solutions which maximise net benefits from cruise tourism. The experience of the Atlantic Canadian ports of Halifax, Sydney and Saint John is illustrative in this context, for instance, via the application of institutional partnership, appropriate infrastructure provision and management practices, and a diversity of uses close to the cruise terminal area. Such elements have implications for cruise ship tourism in other contexts.

Title: Accessible and Inclusive Public Space: The Regeneration of Waterfront in Informal Areas
Abstract:
Public open spaces play an important role in achieving equity and inclusion in cities. They are vital elements that shape the urban life and public realm in communities. This paper deals with waterfronts as key spaces in the urban, social, and economic structure of the city, with reference to informal areas where accessibility poses a severe challenge. The paper discusses the interactions between water front uses, potential interventions and the local community’s aspirations, while tackling land properties, and participation issues during the decision-making process for regenerating inclusive public spaces.Within this context, the authors present, debate, and analyze the case of Al Warrak Cornish project in the Northern Sector of Giza Governorate in Egypt. They discuss three main aspects in water frontage urban development including: water front as an accessible public space, regeneration as a process, and participation as a tool. This is emphasized through the application of an international policy, namely the three – legged approach that was adopted by the ASUD program in UN Habitat since 2013 (Achieving Sustainable Urban Development) including: Design, regulations, and finance to support developing contexts, aiming at regenerating the waterfront urban area, with the presence of informal urbanization, through the methodology of collaborative and participatory planning.The findings of this research present a methodological decision-making approach for the formalization of the local spatial development framework for waterfronts in informal areas with a focus on the participatory approach. This approach aims at achieving sustainability, and maximizing the economic valorization resulting from the regeneration of informal water frontage areas, balanced with the existing and neighboring community socioeconomic needs. It further highlights the process of reaching common objectives among all stakeholders, especially if they are from different social strata.The paper concludes that this emblematic project possesses significant implications regarding issues of spatial justice, combining conventional road infrastructure with urban regeneration and community energizing as critical aspects of mediating and articulating success in such contexts.

Title: Growth of metro cities in India: trends, patterns and determinants
Abstract:
Using city-level census data this paper examines the trends, patterns and determinants of metro city growth in India and finds that the post-economic reforms period has heralded a rapid pace of metropolitan development, causing a dispersed pattern of metropolitan growth in the last two decades. The empirical results show that metro cities located along a riverbank and situated in the northern, eastern and southern regions of India; cities with better quality public services and those which are state capitals are revealed to grow faster than others. A proximity to a large city also spurs on nearby urban centres to become larger, highlighting agglomeration effects. In contrast, initial city size has a negative impact on metro growth, reflecting some conditional convergence in population growth across cities. It is also found that the older cities have not grown at a rapid pace, with many of them flagging remarkably low demographic growth, suggesting a process of population drift towards the periphery from the core city areas, thereby leading to an ‘agglomerated trend’ of metropolitan development in India. Finally, we argue that diverting investment and development projects towards regressive regions as well as to secondary cities for strengthening their infrastructure and economic bases may herald sustainable and balanced metropolitan development.

Title: Megacity governance and the state
Abstract:
In the debate on governance in city regions, the role of the state is currently an open question. Drawing on our own and secondary research on governance of large city regions across the world, we argue that nation-states (in unitary systems) and federate states (in federalist systems) are crucial protagonists of governance in megacities – defined as city regions of 10 million or more. Megacity governance thus provides a stark contrast to the prominent narrative of a retreating state conveyed in some of the new regionalist literature. It is concluded that megacities are a category of urban settlements in which the state is not withering away but continues to play a leading role in addressing urban policy problems.

Title: Governing street trading in contemporary cities. Anatomy of the policy instruments used by the City of Johannesburg in the post-apartheid era
Abstract:
The paper interrogates how street trading is governed in contemporary cities of the South, based on the example of Johannesburg. It excavates policy choices made by municipal officials and politicians, understood through the set of policy instruments (not only policy documents, institutions and tools, but also non-tools) that they have framed and used for almost two decades, beyond public rhetoric that is arguably misleading. The paper provides a critical analyzis of policy instruments for governing street trading, scantly absent from existing literature, it also brings back into the urban studies debate issues of municipal officials’ agency, political objectives and policy choices.

Title: Exploring the physical-environmental domains of quality of life; the experience of midsize cities in Iran
Abstract:
Quality of life (QOL) is a concept that has a long history among a variety of disciplines such as geography, social sciences, health, and urban planning. The urban QOL that emphasizes on urban aspects of this phenomenon has been discussed recently in various urban studies. The aims of this article are finding the subjective domains of physical and environmental quality of life (PEQOL), to survey life satisfaction, and to determine the most important domains that explain variances in life satisfaction in midsize cities in Iran. For this purpose, three midsize cities of Qazvin, Kashan, and Gorgan were selected as case studies. Stratified random sampling technique, using Neyman`s Allocation Method was applied to determine the required sample size. Individual interviews were conducted to gather the needed data and 1078 questionnaires were completed using 27 preselected indicators. Exploratory factor analysis was applied to extract the PEQOL domains. The results of the exploratory factor analysis indicate that five environmental, access to educational land uses, access to services, transportation, and housing domains can be introduced as PEQOL domains. Environmental factor had the most important role in description of PEQOL, while the housing domain had the least effect on the PEQOL.Stepwise multiple regression analysis was performed to determine the most important domains that explain life satisfaction. In Qazvin and Kashan cities, four domains of access to educational land uses, access to services, transportation and housing explained life satisfaction. In Gorgan city, three domains of environmental, transportation, and housing explained life satisfaction. It means that although environmental domain is the most important domain in explaining PEQOL, we could not find any meaningful relationship between satisfaction and environmental domain in two of three cities studied. In the overall regression model, all five domains of PEQOL have role in life satisfaction and they explained about 12.5% of total variance. It indicates that urban planners should pay a special attention to this issue in their plans to improve the environmental quality and increasing environmental satisfaction. Findings could also be useful in evaluating PEQOL and life satisfaction to facilitate the implementation of QOL policies in cities.

Title: Neighbourhood participation in super-diverse contexts: comparing Amsterdam and Vienna
Abstract:
Urban policies are increasingly localized, stressing the role of neighbourhood social contacts in generating cohesion and citizen participation. Studies on ‘everyday’ multiculturalism also emphasize the neighbourhood as a meaningful place for encounters. However, there remains a lack of understanding of how specific contexts condition encounters with difference. We compare two European neighbourhoods that provide different contexts for participation: Amsterdam and Vienna. We ask how residents experience local spaces of encounter and how this influences their experience of the neighbourhood. We find a mismatch between the aims of local policies and the experiences of residents, who also value more superficial contacts.

Title: In search of determinants for quoted housing rents: Empirical evidence from major German cities
Abstract:
Housing policy made a comeback on the German political agenda. Apartment rental prices increased drastically in most major cities over the last years. Despite wide agreement by policymakers regarding the need for regulation of the housing market, there is close to no empirical evidence on the drivers of rent prices. We follow a comparative, quantitative approach to determine the driving factors of rent prices in German cities, taking economic, societal and political variables into account and using time-series analysis. Our results show that the share of students and the local mean income account for differences in quoted rent prices.

Title: The evolution process of Chicago’s industrial land-use policy
Abstract:
Despite the industrial restructuring process that occurred between 1970s and 1980s in the Western World, the city of Chicago adopted an innovative land-use industrial policy for curbing the structural decline of manufacturing. The main aim was to preserve living wages manufacturing jobs for the Chicago residents that could not access the service sectors. Chicago’s industrial land-use policy experience, both in its historical and future perspectives, is an interesting top-down municipal policy that shows how the relationship between land-use planning and manufacturing shapes the city not only in spatial terms but also in social and economical terms.

Title: Urban energy transitions in ordinary cities: Philadelphia’s place-based policy innovations for socio-technical energy change in the commercial sector
Abstract:
Studies of urban energy transitions place less attention to governance dynamics in diversified contexts. This paper thus focuses on an ordinary city, Philadelphia, and its place-based policy innovations in commercial energy efficiency. It develops an analytical framework at the intersection of multi-level governance and socio-technical urban energy change, which applies for a set of key policy initiatives in Philadelphia. The analysis demonstrates the importance of local and broader economic conditions, as well as actor political orientations, for the city’s transformative capacity. It also offers a fine-grained view of transition actors, stressing the key role of third-sector entities for systemic change.

Title: Implementing TOD around suburban and rural stations: an exploration of spatial potentialities and constraints
Abstract:
Transit Oriented Development (TOD) is an effective way to integrate land use and transport in pursuit of the goal of sustainable development. Most of the literature on TOD is devoted to station areas in urban contexts; even when TOD is considered with a regional approach, suburban and rural stations are poorly investigated. Analysing a case study, this paper explores spatial potentialities and constraints for TOD in suburban and rural contexts. The results show that conditions for TOD around suburban and rural stations vary substantially from those around urban stations. A broader, more complex and context-sensitive approach to TOD is recommended.

Title: Cultural and creative clusters – a systematic literature review and a renewed research agenda
Abstract:
Cultural/Creative Quarters/Clusters/Districts’ (CCC) have become very popular local development strategies in the last 30 years as reflected within the Urban Planning, Geography, Economics and Cultural Studies literature. However, this multi-disciplinarity has rendered the CCC academic field of research quite fuzzy as authors offers their own definition or borrow from each other without clear explanations. In order to address this issue, this paper presents a systematic literature review and analyses the ways these concepts have evolved, what have been the themes and dimensions associated with them, how they have been studied and researched, and then suggest a renewed research agenda.

Title: A spirit of urban capitalism: market cities, people cities, and cultural justifications
Abstract:
Diverse urban theories discuss how economic processes shape conceptions of a city, but less research focuses on how pragmatic situations of urban life contribute to the characterisation of cities. We argue that pragmatic justifications reify socially constructed meanings of cities by creating a ‘spirit of urban capitalism.’ This framework conceives of two spirits: the market city, which aligns with neoliberal assumptions, and the people city, which foregrounds a resident-focused model. Using case studies of Copenhagen and Houston, we showcase how these conceptions of cities are justified by elites and residents, and thereby build empirical scaffolding connecting urban economies and cultures.

Title: Supporting open, shared and collaborative workspaces and hubs: recent transformations and policy implications
Abstract:
Shared workspaces and hubs for independent workers and start-ups are increasingly becoming a subject of local and regional economic development policies as they are considered crucial intermediaries in facilitating entrepreneurial growth and local innovation agendas. However, so far policy-makers do little to address two transformations in recent shared workspace development: the growing commercialization and diversification of shared workspaces and the spread of coworking beyond big agglomerations towards medium-sized and smaller cities and even rural areas. The paper argues for new policy principles that acknowledge the social values as much as the economic values that shared workspaces generate and promote.

Title: New horizons for old industrial areas: urban shrinkage and social capital in Blaenau Gwent, Wales
Abstract:
This article explores social capital in the shrinking old industrial area of Blaenau Gwent, Wales. The results indicate that economic change has impacted the social capital in unfavourable ways, leading to mistrust, a negative image of the area, low empowerment and low participation. Tradition appears to have played a strong role in disabling the transformation of the area, but new paths for social development are emerging slowly. Changes in social capital can be observed through the actions of entrepreneurs. Finally, trust between actors and flexibility in handling available resources are identified as key requirements for social transformation.

Title: Autonomy, democracy and solidarity. The defining principles of collaborative civil society housing and some mechanisms that may challenge them
Abstract:
This theoretical paper introduces a conceptual framework for empirical study and comparison of collaborative civil society housing (CSH). We suggest that CSH communities satisfy four criteria to a lesser or higher extent: (1) autonomy, (2) participatory democracy, (3) internal solidarity and (4) external solidarity. Drawing primarily on empirical examples from the scholarly literature on co-operative housing, we claim that all CSH communities face challenges that may lead to the erosion of these civil society criteria. We argue that such challenges are general social mechanisms that manifest themselves in various types of situations, for instance, when apartments are transferred or refurbished.

Title: Unpacking social learning in planning: who learns what from whom?
Abstract:
Social learning is the process of exchanging and developing knowledge (including skills and experiences) through human interaction. This key planning process needs to be better understood, given the increase and variety of non-planners influencing planning processes. This article explores who learns what from whom through social learning in planning. We unpack social learning theoretically to be able to map it, and employ empirically-based storytelling to discuss its relevance to planning practice. We conclude that social learning can lead to positive and negative outcomes and provides a useful analytical lens to understand planning practices at the level of individuals.

Title: Critical success factors of geocrowdsourcing use in e-government: a case study from the Czech Republic
Abstract:
Geocrowdsourcing (geoCS) refers to a quite new phenomenon in geoinformatics, whereby citizens voluntarily collect, maintain and visualize different types of spatial data that might be useful for public authorities. As a rapidly evolving practice and area of research, there are, however, new challenges such as factors that influence its success. This qualitative study is an attempt to explore the critical success factors of geoCS within the field of mobile-based applications for environmental monitoring and reporting of civic issues.

Title: Governing diversity in socially fragmented urban settings: ‘Skopje 2014’ and the ethnocratic homogenization of public spaces
Abstract:
As a response to the erosion of North Macedonia’s confidence in the international domain and following the decay of its capital city, a grandiose and costly urban project called ‘Skopje 2014’ was initiated to transform public spaces utilizing country’s glorious past. This model for governing diversity based on ethnocratic homogenization led to further tensions among ethnic groups and reduced the role of citizens as spectators of how public spaces and the city are created. A transformative, deliberative planning culture is needed – one that recognizes the inconsistencies in the ethnic histories and imaginaries and allows change as an inevitable part of our identities.

Title: Formulating the success of citizen participation in urban regeneration: Insights and perplexities from Lisbon
Abstract:
Worldwide, participatory processes have expanded by covering a wide range of policy areas, including urban regeneration. Acknowledging the formulation of success as the first methodological step for the evaluation of participatory processes, the article discusses insights and perplexities emerging from the BipZip Programme in Lisbon. The proposal of an alternative agenda builds on the need to provide the formulation of success with information on the macro, meso and micro contexts, to be collected through the participation of local partners and political/administrative agents. Theoretical and empirical knowledge concur to the international debate on the evaluation of citizen participation in urban regeneration.

Title: Transparency and evolution in the use of negotiated developer obligations within land readjustment in Spain
Abstract:
Public bodies often pursue alternative funding of public infrastructure by using developer obligations. These are contributions made in exchange of land-use regulation decisions. Non-negotiable obligations support on detailed legislation, but negotiable obligations much less and often have a local character. In Spain, negotiable obligations were introduced in the 1980s. As in other countries, in Spain, they increased initially as a response of low effectiveness of non-negotiable obligations, but they were not always transparent and with time became regulated. Differently than in other countries, Spain introduced in the 1990s a peculiar land readjustment regulation that stimulated competition and hence negotiated contributions.

Title: Clarifying street culture: integrating a diversity of opinions and voices
Abstract:
Scholarly fields are meant to be dynamic to accommodate new information that is infused with old. One of these areas is the notion, subject, subfield and process of street culture. Despite the frequency of its usage in the social sciences, urban planning, and selected areas of the visual arts, rarely is the term street culture defined and when it is, the definitions are often conceptually lacking. This article synthesizes current ideas about the study of street culture by examining six major questions that street culture researchers currently grapple with. The article outlines suggestions for improving scholarship in this field.

Title: Unused, underused, and misused: an examination of theories on urban void spaces
Abstract:
Today, urban voids have emerged as challenges to the strategic utilization of cities undergoing constant expansion or shrinkage. Urban voids are unused, underused and misused urban spaces, including abandoned buildings, vacant lots, and derelict areas. Many relevant studies conducted over the past 40 years tend to be unconsolidated, which obstructs the comprehensive accumulation of topic-related scholarship. Hence, this paper examines the dispersed definitions and conceptual approaches to urban voids mentioned in the literature and reclassify various terms to comprehensively clarify their attributes and potentials. Further research on urban voids should build strong academic and practical foundations to shape sustainable cities.

Title: Learning from overtourism; new tourism policy for the city of Rotterdam
Abstract:
Rotterdam’s tourism grows rapidly but is still modest compared to cities like Amsterdam and Brussels. Until 2018, Rotterdam’s municipal tourism actions were economically oriented and focused attention on marketing, hotels, congresses, and events. Local authorities became aware of potential negative impacts of tourism, associated with overtourism, and decided that a new tourism policy was needed. The municipality presented early 2020 its new tourism vision. The vision’s starting point is that tourism should contribute to the broader policy and development aims of the city and should benefit Rotterdam’s citizens, tourism growth is secondary. The new vision is a positive step but leaves critical questions regarding tourism policy and its implementation unanswered.

Title: A resilient response to the social-economic implications of coronavirus. The case of Snodi Solidali in Turin
Abstract:
The emergency created by the COVID-19 has shattered the world, with impacts in all countries. The restrictions introduced to reduce and contain the virus’ spread have changed lifestyles, illustrating the inequalities of our societies. Cities had to find rapid solutions to limit the socio-economic consequences, relying on their ability to react and adapt. This paper describes a local project that guaranteed food access to the most vulnerable population during the lockdown phase. Snodi solidali constituted a fast and responsive way for the local authority and the third sector’s network to offer an immediate reaction to an urgent need.

Title: Smart city technologies and figures of technical mediation
Abstract:
With ICTs increasingly influencing the built environment, it becomes ever more important to analyse the impact of smart city technologies on citizens’ behaviour. To explore this impact, the philosophy of technical mediation is used. This philosophy implies that our way of living is always, to some degree, constituted and transformed by technologies. This study’s objective is to assess the applicability of Dorrestijn’s model of human-technology relationships when exploring the impact of smart city technologies on citizen’s behaviour. Based on Dorrestijn’s model of figures of technical mediation, an argumentative literature review is conducted and mediating effects of smart city technologies categorized.

Title: Mobilising knowledge for urban governance: the case of the Gauteng City-region observatory
Abstract:
The capacity to derive, analyse and communicate urban knowledge is increasingly essential for decision-makers managing the complex pressures of rapidly expanding cities. This paper examines the importance of transdisciplinary boundary organisations in generating and mobilising this knowledge. It introduces ‘urban observatories’ as an example of institutions catalysing information that can shape urban governance, considering in detail the experience of the Gauteng City-Region Observatory (GCRO) in South Africa. Insights drawn from GCRO’s recent work illustrate key operational considerations for these types of boundary institutions, highlighting opportunities and challenges in shaping the knowledge systems that underpin contemporary policymaking in and for cities.

Title: Walking as a medium of comprehending contextual assets of historical urban fabrics
Abstract:
The importance of walkability as a desirable design ‘outcome’ is well established. This research, attempting to create a link between walkability, contextualism, and urban heritage conservation, sees this concept also as a significant ‘means’ of design. Literature reviews were conducted to highlight the necessity of this stance. A conceptual framework suggesting a method for contextually implementing walkability in heritage conservation was developed and tested in the case study of Shahidgah, a historic district in Ardabil. Results indicate that utilising contextual features of place while implementing walkability in historical areas contribute not only to walkability enhancement but also to heritage conservation.

Title: Challenging peripherality through access to the internet? Socio-spatial practices of the connected rurban
Abstract:
This paper investigates imbricated relationship between the socio-spatial organisation of marginalised rurban communities and the late appropriation of the internet in both Brazil and the UK. It focuses on the underlying forces that shape rurban communities’ everyday lives in the context of digital peripheralisation, understanding that, though embodied and imprinted in space, these are correlated to phenomena pertaining to different social levels – the global and the urban – as discussed by Henri Lefebvre. The study indicates a clear relation between socio-spatial-technological processes and the appropriation of internet, and suggests the need to consider those processes while discussing the so-called ‘digital divide’.

Title: Planning and managing urbanization in the twenty-first century: content analysis of selected African countries’ national urban policies
Abstract:
In recent times, African governments have been adopting explicit National Urban Policies (NUPs). The adoption of NUPs is a sharp contrast to the past when some governments were ambivalent to it.Focusing on eight (8) African countries-South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Malawi and Uganda, we undertook systematic content analysis of the written policy documents for each country. African governments recognise the need for coordinated policy responses to enhance sustainable urban growth in line with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG #11) and the New Urban Agenda (NUA). The paper cautions against adopting ‘silver bullet’ solutions to avoid jeopardising the creation of local policy innovations that are more suitable to national and local contexts.

Title: Regionalised sprawl: conceptualising suburbanisation in the European context
Abstract:
Being recognised as the predominant urban pattern of the twenty-first century, suburbanisation is a global phenomenon that is characteristically regionalised: time- and site-specific factors and conditions differently shape its emergence in different locations. Post-suburbia and suburban governance are two analytical perspectives that are used to account for the global and regionalised character of suburbanisation. However, conceptualising suburbanisation in Europe should also more clearly encompass the role of spatial planning systems and the related actors’ sociopolitical configurations. We here propose an institutional, actor-centred conceptual framework accounting for spatial planning to more effectively analyse processes and patterns of European regionalised global suburbanisation.

Title: Mobilising post-political environments: tracing the selective geographies of Swedish sustainable urban development
Abstract:
This paper develops an analytical framework from which to understand the mobilisation of post-political urban environments across spatial and institutional contexts. Our analysis of two closely related cases from a Swedish context reveals the potential benefits of combining studies on urban political ecology and policy mobility. By utilising Actor-Network Theory (ANT) we illustrate how post-political environments that are shaped by mobile and mutating policies of sustainable urban development are stabilised through distinct discursive strategies, capital investments and the desire for increased influence within global frames of action and contribute to the creation of, what we call, selective geographies.

Title: London’s King’s Cross redevelopment: a compact, resource efficient and ‘liveable’ global city model for an era of climate emergency?
Abstract:
Cities have long been subject to urban containment policies against urban sprawl. Climate change concerns have recently added to the imperative to densify urban space. Urban compaction is often pursued through the creation of ‘exemplar’ urban developments that superficially implement ‘best practice’ ideas from elsewhere. In this paper, we abandon the notion of ‘best practice’ in favour of context-sensitive ‘good practices’. Taking London’s King’s Cross redevelopment as a case study, this paper draws on qualitative methods to examine the contribution of context and path-dependency, as a product of local and non-local forces, to the emergence of King´s Cross as ‘good practice’.

Title: Brick: sustainability through policy
Abstract:
The brick has become a remarkable political symbol with the laying of the silver brick in Ayodhya, India, recently. A tangible material in this whole exercise; the humble, everyday ‘brick’became the symbol of nationalism. While this building material holds such a shiny political campaign in the form of a silver brick today, the on-ground situation of brick kilns is rather grim, which exploits labour and deteriorates the environment. To change this scenario there needs to be change in policy that includes an array of solutions for brick making, including Stabilised Compressed Earth Blocks, adobe etc. To keep a check on these ecological imbalances, firstly at policy level intervention, the government should initiate decentralised, smaller and regional production systems instead of global chains. Secondly, alternate construction materials should be made mainstream, and an array of innovative local technologies should be incorporated instead of propagating one chief solution, universally, for brick production. Absence of environmental emission policies and regulatory enforcement leave no incentive for brick manufacturers to adopt less polluting industries and the added lack of policies that address the demand-side issues, even though appropriate technologies may be present, make it worse. There is an urgent need to revamp the brick industry of the world, especially in the emerging economies where the next decades will see exponential growth.

Title: Does municipal funding of organizations reflect communities of need? Exploring trends in Halifax, 1996-2016
Abstract:
Recent policy shifts and budget cuts have led to a reduction in government support for NGOs. While studies examine funding at the federal level, few analyze municipalities. Using a socio-spatial approach, we compare municipal funding and tax relief with Census data to analyze how fiscal support coincides with social needs in Halifax, Canada. Our analysis shows that funding declines while the need remains high. We contend this has implications for the ability of organizations to provide services to vulnerable populations and communities as cities shift social support responsibilities to the private sector and municipal governments adopt austerity policies.

Title: Empowering informal settlements in Jakarta with urban agriculture: exploring a community-based approach
Abstract:
Informal settlements in Jakarta are known as ‘kampungs,’ which are classified as illegally constructed areas upon urban land. This paper presents a community-based approach to empower kampungs in Jakarta. The approach aims at creating an enabling environment to connect the kampungs with the market and help the kampungs fight against economic and social marginalization through emerging entrepreneurship, increased level of production and higher income. Eventually, the kampungs are expected to have bargaining power even for their land tenure to the government.

Title: Informal urban regeneration as a way out of the crisis? Airbnb in Athens and its effects on space and society
Abstract:
This paper explores the effects of the Airbnb short-term rentals in Athens, against the background of the continuing socio-economic crisis and the substantial rise of urban tourism. The Airbnb practice emerges as a major transformative force of urban space, economy and society, which can be neither utterly condemned nor fully celebrated. The effects of the Airbnb phenomenon are found to be both positive and negative, including – on the one hand – the partial upgrading and reuse of the existing building stock or the reactivation of the local economy and – on the other hand – processes of residential segregation, gentrification and touristification.

Title: Introduction to the special issue: between practices and policies. Rethinking urban regeneration in Southern European cities after the crisis
Abstract:
This Special Issue explores new approaches to urban regeneration, and potentially give new meanings to the term itself, as it appears in the context of austerity urbanism. In particular, the aim of this Special Issue is to offer a Southern European perspective of the nexus between the withdrawal of the State from urban governance, and of the new forms of cooperation arising from civil society, thus presenting original research material, and innovative perspectives, for current debates in urban studies.

Title: Analysing the role of citizens in urban regeneration: bottom-linked initiatives in Barcelona
Abstract:
This article analyses recent urban regeneration projects in Barcelona, focusing especially on the role of bottom-up practices and their consideration and inclusion in urban regeneration policies. In a context of social and political mobilisation against austerity, the combination of these two elements gives rise to the emergence of bottom-linked practices and new policy instruments. Our comparison of two case studies in Barcelona shows that a process of experimentation for broadening urban regeneration is underway, but also that it is far from being consolidated and that it is not without its own contradictions.

Title: Neighbourhood branding and urban regeneration: performing the ‘right to the brand’ in Casilino, Rome
Abstract:
In the last decade, many cities have experimented with small-scale initiatives aimed at enhancing the quality of life of residents; these initiatives have somehow fostered a reconceptualization of the term, as well as practice, of urban regeneration. In this context, the role of civic networks in bringing forward experiments in the production of alternative imaginaries and place-making has gained a major role, in particular in marginal neighbourhoods. By focusing on a case study in the eastern periphery of Rome, the paper explores the case of citizen-led neighbourhood branding, highlighting open issues and ambiguities in claiming a ‘right to the brand’.

Title: “They tried to make me go to rehab. I said, no, no, no”. Representations of ‘deprived’ urban spaces and urban regeneration in Turin, Italy
Abstract:
Starting from a critical perspective on conventional representations of urban margins and traditional approaches to urban regeneration, our article aims to highlight the missing relationships between urban policies and the ways in which places organize their cultural, social and economic life. What are the socio-spatial practices that shape the everyday urban life? In which ways they are related or not to urban regeneration processes? Using Turin as a case-study, the paper discusses these questions and highlights the inconsistency of the normalizing narrative adopted by urban regeneration policies and the heterogeneous, multiple and constantly evolving identities unfolding in the urban margins.

Title: The commodification of territorial stigma. How local actors can cope with their stigma
Abstract:
This paper presents an analysis of three area-based initiatives’ in a stigmatized neighborhood of Naples (Scampia). It is based on ethnographic material collected between 2013 and 2014. We focus on the relationship between territorial stigmatisation and local actors within these initiatives.The aim is: to contribute to the debate on the «coping» strategies that the local actors of a disadvantaged territory put in place with respect to the stigma of their context; to broaden the framework of the debate on the processes of commodification of stigma. Finally, this contribution could also add to the debate surrounding the effects of area-based initiative.

Title: Cities and regional disparities in the European Union: evolving geographies and challenges for Cohesion Policy
Abstract:
Since the nineties, urban areas have assumed a growing importance in EU Cohesion Policy. This process, which is being implemented through various political steps and policy instruments, has led cities to be recognised as key elements in the promotion of balanced development. After decades of planning experiments at different territorial scales, however, the extent to which EU urban policy has contributed to regional development is currently under debate. This paper seeks to describe the evolution of the urban dimension within EU Cohesion Policy, with a focus on the role of cities in those countries and regions experiencing development problems.

Title: Lessons from U.S. rust belt cities for equitable low-growth futures
Abstract:
The dynamics shaping 21st century urbanization are particularly visible throughout the American Rust Belt. With the pressures of economic and population growth receding, the local structures and contests shaping land use, development, and revitalization are more visible. In the context of racial segregation and political fragmentation, public entities, community groups and civic networks have generated innovations and interventions aligned with a more equitable and inclusive – albeit low-growth – future. These exemplary policies and practices, which are leading these cities to new futures, also are useful for advancing urban development and for fostering sustainability in the diverse areas that constitute sprawling, stagnating, and depopulating regions.

Title: The influence of EU policy on local policy-making, governance and urban change. Evidence from Porto, Portugal
Abstract:
Porto has long been a site of experimentation in the field of European urban policies, implemented through different initiatives and supported by EU funding. The paper describes the different urban regeneration experiences that have been undertaken by the city, analyses the nature of the policy instruments which have been implemented, and in what ways they relate to local policy-making, governance and development. What emerges from this analysis is a more complex perspective of the relationship between local/national/European policies, which needs a broader understanding of local processes to understand the emergence and transfer of the holistic approach promoted by the EU.

Title: Transferring sustainability: imaginaries and processes in EU funded projects in Thessaloniki
Abstract:
Since the 1990s, sustainability agenda has dominated cities’ efforts to improve their environment; has been elaborated in European Commission documents, has been disseminated and funded through different mechanisms. The paper examines the way urban sustainability has been framed in Thessaloniki’s EU funded urban regeneration projects, focusing on projects that have been materialized or planned, since the outbreak of the financial crisis in Greece in 2010. It places emphasis on conceptual shifts in EU policies regarding sustainability and their reflection on specific urban projects. A critical light is shed on imaginaries pursued, and processes employed in these projects.

Title: How the EU regional policy can shape urban change in Southern Europe: learning from different planning processes in Palermo
Abstract:
The article provides an interpretation of the role played by the EU regional policy in the process of urban change experienced in Palermo, the fifth Italian city by population and capital of one of the largest Europe’s less developed regions (Sicily). Through an analysis of various EU-funded planning initiatives implemented over the last two decades – from the Urban Community Initiative in the late nineties to the current Integrated Territorial Investments under the 2014–2020 urban agenda –, the work explores their effects from three main perspectives: urban regeneration, local governance, and planning innovation.

Title: Understanding the influence of EU urban policy in Spanish cities: the case of Málaga
Abstract:
This work aims to shed light on the contribution of the urban dimension of the Cohesion Policy (CP) to Spanish cities. It is based on the case study of Málaga, a city in which European Union (EU) programmes have contributed importantly to regenerating its historic centre. The case study uses a mixed qualitative methodology to understand if and to what extent the EU urban programmes have delivered local capacity. The results show that their contribution has been positive, but also identifies the persistence of inertia and relevant contradictions that provide lessons for the post-2020 urban dimension of the CP.

Title: Conditions for innovation in German cities: the cases Offenbach am Main and Kassel in comparison
Abstract:
The article deals with local approaches to innovation in two former industrial cities and explores how these can be explained. It focuses on local debates that have contributed to locally dominant narratives and the ideas embedded in these narratives about the possibilities and conditions for taking innovative paths. Conceptually, the authors pursue an interpretive approach that emphasizes that it is not (seemingly) given objective conditions that determine innovation, but rather the communication-based interpretation of these conditions in terms of possibilities and limits of action by local actors.

Title: Innovative cities: how to explain differences between cities? An answer based on an interpretive approach
Abstract:
How to explain differences between cities regarding innovations will be addressed in this article from an interpretive perspective: actors have to develop an understanding of what constrains them and what they can achieve, how, and with whom. ‘External’ factors are therefore not explanatory variables in themselves. This means that actors have to develop an understanding about conditions for innovations in their city. This understanding gives meaning to action, and has to be developed through communicative interaction by being constantly reproduced or transformed during communicative interaction. Mechanisms involved in such communicative interaction will be shown and how they have to be applied to particular local narratives.

Title: Necessity as the trigger of invention? The promotion of innovations in Athens and Elefsina
Abstract:
This article explores the conditions under which institutional and cultural innovations have taken place in two Greek cities: Athens and Elefsina. Against the backdrop of the economic crisis (as well as the refugee influx), both cities made an effort to promote innovative policies in order to deal with fierce economic and social implications of the crises, while at the same time developing a new narrative for themselves. The study shows that Athens and Elefsina have, to a great extent, succeed in reinventing themselves, though certain challenges lie ahead.

Title: Innovations at the edge: how local innovations are established in less favourable environments
Abstract:
Local innovation research often focuses on big cities and creative places. However, novel developments also emerge in provincial cities and in interactions between (social) entrepreneurs and policymakers. This article shows, by way of two case studies in Greece and Poland and an interpretive policy analysis, how local innovations are established in seemingly less innovation-friendly cities. It reveals that it is not the innovative product itself that faces opposition, but the new ways of collaborative action that pave the way for the novel development. Overcoming resistance takes place in communicative negotiation processes and benefits from shared problem construction.

Title: Changing use of public spaces in Cairo during COVID-19
Abstract:
Public spaces have witnessed unprecedented circumstances during the Covid-19 crisis. Concepts such as liveability, walkability, and placemaking are being probed to delve into the future roles of public spaces. In Cairo, public spaces earned appreciation during the lockdown, and new space users appeared, engaging in daily needs of socialising and exercising. Through documenting changes in Cairo’s public space policy owing to the pandemic, it was proved that citizens could survive and adapt to the crisis with some spatial policy implications.

Title: Innovating local housing policies in a country of homeowners. Insights from an Italian affluent medium-sized city
Abstract:
Cities face increasing housing needs, particularly in Southern European countries, as well as tightening constraints on public expenditure. The mismatch between income levels and housing costs has come to concern a larger and more diversified share of the population so that housing needs strike beyond the poorest and most underprivileged profiles. This article discusses the outcomes of fieldwork conducted in San Donato Milanese, a medium-sized, affluent town in the Milan metropolitan area, to explore the changing facets of housing issues and the margins for action that can innovate local public action.

Title: Enterprise discourses in Dutch urban policies; a comparison between two cities in the Netherlands
Abstract:
Local governments make use of ‘enterprise language’ to encourage citizens to adopt entrepreneurial behaviour in managing their daily lives and solving problems that emerge in their neighbourhood. In this paper, we examine the use of enterprise language and the promotion of enterprise in Dutch urban policy focusing specifically on how Dutch cities use enterprise language to influence and encourage their inhabitants to undertake entrepreneurial action. Our analysis shows how the language of enterprise helps cities to reinforce a local identity, to legitimize institutional change in local government functioning and to formulate expectations of how citizens (and professionals) should behave.

Title: Human-centred public urban space: exploring how the ‘re-humanisation’ of cities as a universal concept has been adopted and is experienced within the socio-cultural context of Riyadh
Abstract:
Universal concepts in spatial planning, e.g. ‘re-humanisation’ of cities, have been adopted by many cities worldwide. However, spatial planning cannot be understood independently from its socio-cultural context. This paper uses the ‘culturized planning model’ to analyse the extent to which the application of universal spatial assumptions as an approach to Riyadh’s municipal programme, Humanizing the City, has created inclusive urban environments. The paper shows that relying solely on universal guidelines to achieve urban qualities was insufficient for creating inclusive public spaces. Gender norms and religious traditions influenced the provision of public space by reproducing gender-segregation, which contributed to women’s exclusion.

Title: Spatial inequality in Tehran, a structural explanation
Abstract:
The study presents a political economic analysis of spatial inequality in Tehran focusing on four sectors of social reproduction, namely, housing, healthcare, education, and transportation. The study argues that spatial inequality is rooted in the peculiarities of Iranian capitalism. Struggling with low productivity, the manufacturing sector needs wages to remain low and unemployment to remain high in order to maintain profits. Bringing urban amenities and resources into the market is the second strategy, a process facilitated by the state. The study also discusses the role of the luxury market in neutralising the anticipated negative feedback mechanism of low effective demand.

Title: Dining out as a performative event
Abstract:
Public events are scripted, staged and choreographed. Dining out is a perception-affect experience, but it is rare that the experience becomes a performative event in which guests are actors in the scene. The Madeleine’s Food Theatre in Copenhagen created a performative dining-out experience where guests did not have knowledge of the script, stage or choreography beforehand. When people became part of making a space into an event, they entered into unimaginable atmospheres and moods. The article explores the dining experience at Madeleine’s Food Theatre as a collage of body-mind impressions affected by different kinds of forces of presence.

Title: Growth management for low-carbon development patterns – leverages in state planning enabling legislation
Abstract:
This study systematically compares how new growth is directed to the urbanized area in the metropolitan regions of Seattle (USA), Vancouver (Canada), and Stuttgart (Germany). This study is based on a review of planning documents and qualitative interviews with planners at the local, county, regional, and state level. This paper focusses on how the state legislation for land use governance shapes the ability to direct growth to locations favorable from a climate perspective. State legislators, particularly, have a crucial role in drafting overarching rules that enable regional, county, and local decision-makers to work together on directing growth in metropolitan areas.

Title: Institutionalising smart city research and innovation: from fuzzy definitions to real-life experiments
Abstract:
By exploring and defining characteristics of a smart city research and innovation centre, we contribute to the discussion on smart city development capacity. To do so, using a qualitative method, we review definitions of the concept and map international groups and institutes affiliated with this domain. Our main result is an overview of global research centres dealing with smart cities. One of the key implications of this paper is that instead of a strict definition, the important aspect appears in the framing provided by the complex real-life challenges that require and enable cross-disciplinary research, even though the concept keeps evolving.

Title: Towards the ‘just city’? Exploring the attitudes of European city mayors
Abstract:
The dismantling of equity oriented urban policies has led to a call for a ‘just city’ agenda where policies are directed towards equity, diversity and democracy rather than growth and cultural protectionism. This paper presents a first assessment of political support for the ‘just city’ and investigates its conditioning factors, building on a European survey of city mayors. We find a strong association with leftist ideology, but also enabling conditions for the support of conservative mayors. The positive predisposition of leftist mayors, however, wains with increasing dependence on EU funding. The exploratory study thus opens new avenues for further research.

Title: Temporary uses: a new form of inclusive urban regeneration or a tool for neoliberal policy?
Abstract:
Temporary uses are claimed to be new solutions for urban challenges, especially in a scenario characterized by scarce public-private resources. However, the role of temporariness in urban development is still ambiguous. The paper discusses the concept of temporary urbanism in the light of urban regeneration, other problematic concepts. The paper addresses current urban phenomena proposing a taxonomy of temporary uses to help clarify these ambiguities, highlighting differences and similarities among various European cases. Notably, the contribution aims to discuss whether temporary urbanism can be considered as a new method of urban regeneration or as a tool to perpetrate neoliberal policies.

Title: Perceived benefits and risks of developing mixed communities in New Zealand: implementer perspectives
Abstract:
In New Zealand, mixed communities are developed on green fields or to replace existing public housing as a way of increasing housing supply, and, in some views, improving outcomes for low-income residents. This paper identifies the effects of developing mixed communities as perceived by implementers of these projects – politicians, officials, developers, and housing providers – and places these in the context of the international evidence. The range of perspectives on potential benefits and risks of mixed-income development for public tenants, the mixed evidence base, and uncertainty about the applicability of research evidence across different urban contexts should inform a research agenda.

Title: Paranoid regulatory innovations? Setting the stage for an unexpected war in Russian cities, 2021-2022
Abstract:
This article examines the regulatory innovations and the way they were introduced by Russian federal authorities in the months leading up to the war in Ukraine. Following the standardization approach of the Soviet planning system, there was a rapid adoption of new and the modification of existing GOSTs. This article attempts to 1) trace and document how a hybrid regime state with a socialist planning heritage prepares the cities for war in the 21st century, and 2) propose an explanation for why the expert’s community has not reacted to such urgent policy changes.

Title: Governing and financing affordable housing at the intersection of the market and the state: Denmark’s private non-profit housing system
Abstract:
Denmark’s private non-profit housing (almene boliger) sector provides affordable housing and social housing and is capable of being self-governing and self-financing. We examine the private non-profit housing sector’s governance and financing model and assess the extent to which its institutional framework and revolving funds model allow it to serve as a role model for the development of affordable housing in other countries and cities. The paper concludes that while Denmark’s private non-profit housing system has succeeded in providing affordable housing with relatively low levels of public financing, its exposure to state intervention risks weakening its governance and financial power.

Title: Activating building land as joint task in the Stuttgart region action programmes for residential and commercial land as elements of sustainable regional development
Abstract:
Prospering Stuttgart Region is facing a continuous population growth. Additional housing land is needed as densification and urban infill alone will not be sufficient. There is, however, an increasing skepticism about any type of new development. As local referendums on land use plans are possible in the state of Baden-Württemberg, plan proposals may be rejected. The assembly of the regional planning authority has decided on measures to encourage local authorities to make building land available. The package includes the use of instruments that go beyond statutory planning and comprises investment in local public transport and business development.

Title: Beyond the decay? Positive patterns in the development of a large housing estate: the case of Olechów-Janów district in Łódź, Poland
Abstract:
A lot of attention in the academic and policy debate has been given to the process of transformation of large housing estates in Central and Eastern Europe post 1989. This included debate about their decreasing socio-economic status and the gradual deterioration of housing structures. Nevertheless, the transformation processes in various estates have not necessarily followed the same pattern and some districts, instead of decaying, have continued to grow during the capitalist period. This article discusses the case of one such estate in the city of Łódź in Poland, documents the ‘alternative’ format of transformation and discusses its implications for policymaking.

Title: One city, different views: an analysis of cultural schemes on Brussels as a living environment
Abstract:
Brussels is struggling with a negative image as a living environment. This converges with an outward migration of economically better-off inhabitants, which has a negative effect on tax revenues. Improving the image of Brussels has thus become a policy priority. This paper investigates perceptions about Brussels within three subpopulations: Brussels residents, commuters and non-residents. By applying cluster analysis to 180 interviews, distinctive patterns in the perceptions are found. These findings suggest that beliefs about Brussels are both mediated by people’s affinity with the city and resonate with ingrained urban and anti-urban ideologies. Lessons for policy and place marketing are drawn.

Title: Whose space is privately owned public space? Exclusion, underuse and the lack of knowledge and awareness
Abstract:
Privately Owned Public Space/s (POPS) is a mechanism to increase provision of public space, particularly in densely built-up urban areas. The empirical work undertaken along the Teheran-ro in Seoul reveals that even well-equipped and highly accessible POPS can be exclusive or underused. This paper argues that the problem of exclusion and underuse of POPS is related to the lack of knowledge of POPS and of awareness that they are public spaces. The more they are known and perceived as public spaces, the more widely and actively they will be used. Hence, the paper adds further recommendations to the existing suggestions.

Title: Re-imagining cities as ecosystems: environmental subject formation in Auckland and Mexico City
Abstract:
The constitution of environmental subjects by governments and civil society organizations around the world has taken place within a framework of neoliberal urbanization. This entails promoting an individual sense of responsibility over urban environments among city dwellers. The approach used is not so much governmentality as environmentality, because of its focus on environmental matters. We claim that the tools used in this process are designed to generate among urban dwellers an imaginary of the cities they inhabit as ecosystems. Using qualitative methods, we examine cases in Auckland and Mexico City regarding water management.

Title: Coalitions, agendas, and funding in the public transport arena: exploring urban governance arrangements in two Mexican cities
Abstract:
The paper uses qualitative analysis in the public transport arena to provide a thorough understanding of governing coalitions in Mexican cities and expand Urban Regime Analysis to the context of Mexico. The evidence suggests that Mexican urban regimes are organic-instrumental. In such regimes, private economic interests play a key role; the state government becomes the leading actor, and its collaborative management capabilities become crucial to achieving coalition goals and preserve the alliance between actors. About multilevel governance, the cases show that the differences in the party affiliations of authorities are insignificant for collaboration when an urban regime exists.

Title: Housing and urbanization policies of Istanbul, Turkey from central to the local
Abstract:
Global economic restructuring since the 1970s, and the rollback of the welfare state in the Global North has been a major contributor to a reduction in the affordable housing stock. Similarly in the so-called Global South recent economic development has been accompanied by a lack of sustainable affordable housing and housing policies. In this short paper, I aim to analyse important policy papers from the central government of Turkey and local government of Istanbul focusing on the housing policies. I will use content and policy analysis to examine the legal and policy framework in the city of Istanbul and compare this with what is happening on the ground. These policy papers include Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Strategical Plan (2020–2024), Turkey 11th 5 year Development Plan Housing Politics (2019–2023), Urban Development Strategy (2010–2023) and Istanbul Regional Plan (2014–2023).

Title: Greenways in Athens, Greece:Enhancing connectivity through a greenway network in a contemporary European metropolis
Abstract:
The Greenway Plan is a Network of green corridors, including open spaces and parks in Athens.Its objective is to bring together strategies for parks and urban landscapes, creating a novel andalternative vision of Athens Urban Web. The design approaches used in other countries have not been adopted in Athens as a matter of public urban policy and due to limited funds and lack of incentives. Since 2018, when the design was financed by Green Funds, the results were presented in 3 Athenian municipalities. This paper introduces innovative ecological and sustainable strategies that can be extended to whole Athens web.

Title: Airbnb in Tel Aviv: finding place amongst other people’s stuff
Abstract:
This article discusses the Airbnb phenomena and its position within the sharing economy. Through an autoethnographic lens, I examine my experience, of living in someone’s else’s home – in their stuff – and how I made it my own place. Place theory is used here to underpin the discussion of human experience when settling in a new city, a new home, and establishing routines and rituals. Finding place in Tel Aviv, Israel, emerged when the immediate surrounds of my short-term accommodation, the public spaces just beyond my building, and the people who filled the alley ways and local market, became familiar.

Title: Smart city. Four approaches to the concept of understanding
Abstract:
The paper analyzes the rhetoric of the smart city (SC) concept in order to recognize, categorize, and describe different perspectives of understanding the notion. Four approaches to the SC concept were isolated: three affirmative, and one rejecting. The approaches present a different understanding of the SC and indicate different elements creating urban ‘smartness.’ Despite differences, there is one common goal in every affirmative approach: to improve the quality of urban life. It is achieved through activities covering five dimensions distinguished within affirmative approaches. Together they can serve, i.e.,as a framework for SC case study analyses.

Title: Assessment of living condition of urban slum dwellers in India in the New Millennium
Abstract:
This study analyzes the changes in access to basic services and maps the inter-regional differences in the slums over a period of 5 years in India by using the 2012 NSSO Slum Survey. This study uses the Multidimensional Wellbeing/Deprivation Index (MWD) towards the assessment of accessibility and availability of basic amenities like education, health, sanitation, electricity, and water facilities. The findings reflect that there is an apparent mutuality among different dimensions of deprivation. This situational inspection of slums has a direct policy imperative for intervention to address the regional imbalance in urban living.

Title: Evaluating the ‘Dipiao’ policy from the perspectives of relocated peasants: an equitable and sustainable approach to urbanisation?
Abstract:
The city of Chongqing in Southwest China has recently attracted widespread attention for adopting a land-use policy, dipiao, which has radically transformed the rural and urban landscape. Previous research on the impacts of the new scheme on peasants remains inconclusive, which necessitates further qualitative study on whether the policy provides an equitable and sustainable solution to urbanisation. According to the results of semi-structured interviews conducted with 34 relocated peasants, the policy is equitable for all peasants regarding urbanisation. However, economically-disadvantaged peasants struggle with their livelihood after relocation. The findings enrich the understanding of the ongoing urbanisation process in China.

Title: Regulation of short-term rentals in Lisbon: strike a balance between tourism dependence and urban life
Abstract:
The financial crisis was a critical factor for the development of short-term rentals (STR) in Lisbon, as it was in other Southern European cities. However, the project for transforming the city that predates the crisis is another important factor. STRs became a public issue associated with unaffordable housing, neighborhood disturbances and touristification in 2016. Using a qualitative methodology, this article explores the regulatory process for STRs in Lisbon and the solutions – mainly territorial bans, a symbolically powerful political outcome conveying the idea of stringency prioritized in cities in which the impact of tourism was most evident – and conditions explaining them.

Title: Reconsidering Industrial Policy in Eastern New York, U.S.A.
Abstract:
This article analyzes urban industrial transformations occurring in five New York communities. We question whether recent major projects on former industrial sites in Upstate New York succeeded at creating long-term, well-paying and high-skilled jobs for their host cities and towns. It is argued that although it is difficult to convert former 20th century industrial sites to 21st century advanced manufacturing requirements, state and localities should not abandon existing industrially zoned land in favor of out-of-town greenfield industrial developments. A comparative discussion of the case studies according to a fourfold criterion (land, labor, capital and triple bottom line) is provided.

Title: Making the slow metropolis by designing walkability: a methodology for the evaluation of public space design and prioritizing pedestrian mobility
Abstract:
Focusing on the mobility aspects of big cities and metropolises, the paper starts with the assessment that the Slow City is linked, in terms of mobility, to slowing down traffic. This paper proposes the following working hypothesis: if the Slow City concept is relevant for making our bigger cities sustainable, it needs, in terms of mobility, to be adapted to the slowest mode of transportation: walking. To that extent, our research develops atool to evaluate the design of public spaces with regard to their affordance to walking (walkability) and to their prioritization of pedestrian mobility.

Title: Public spaces in land use rating based on participatory mapping
Abstract:
The paper presents citizens’ attitude to public spaces, which is a central topic in contemporary urban planning. Provided that the research concerning public spaces is rarely based on participatory methods, the paper introduces new quantitative data into scholarly research. Geo-located markers of positive and negative places, as well as proposals, were filtered through the city cadastre. The rating based on the quantitative comparison of spaces and places adds new insights to the existing body of knowledge. Providing statistically significant samples, participatory mapping allows comparing the impacts of public spaces, and thus, creates a perspective for urban planners and city authorities.

Title: A framework for using the concept of urban resilience in responding to climate-related disasters
Abstract:
Resilience is an important concept in planning/policy. The diversity of theoretical conceptualisations, lack of a clear definition, and ambiguity in application to cities have made urban resilience a difficult concept to pin-down. This paper explores the dimensions of urban resilience to conceptualise and operationalise resilience, connecting theory and practice using two Australian cases. The findings call for a reconsideration of the existing dimensions (infrastructural, ecological, social and community, economic, and institutional) and highlight urban political resilience, a new dimension essential for a transformative adaptation approach.

Title: Neighbourhood rebuilding and affordable housing in Canadian cities
Abstract:
A growing affordability problem in Canadian cities has prompted a renewed commitment of the federal government, complemented with provincial and municipal programs, to increase the supply of affordable rental housing. Recently, large Canadian cities have joined their efforts with non-profit and private organisations to provide affordable rental housing in mixed-income experimental projects. In this context, the research addresses a significant gap in the evaluation of partnerships, focusing on the nature of multi-agency collaborations in the provision process (design, build, finance, operate). Partnerships capitalise on the effective role of the public sector in the mobilization of resources, the efficiencies of private agencies in the development process (design, build) and the hybridity of the non-profit institutions (management, service delivery). The research develops a conceptual framework, based on the political market model to explain adoption of planning and housing policies by municipalities. It presents a typology of affordable housing partnerships using highlights from case studies in large Canadian cities – Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal.

Title: Residential intensification through a new statutory plan in Auckland: outcome evaluation and stakeholders’ experience
Abstract:
Conformance between plans and expected plan outcomes is at the heart of urban planning processes. Integrating an empirical evaluation and stakeholders’ experience of the realisation of intended intensification goals, this article presents the contradictions between the plan instruments and the anticipated plan outcomes to enable higher intensification than the superseded plans. The findings suggest that statutory land use planning should be accompanied by a thorough outcome-based evaluation and a review of conflicting planning tasks and purposes. The article concludes with recommendations for planning monitoring and strengthening the statutory plan to achieve its expectations.

Title: Discourses and practices of the smart city in Central Eastern Europe: insights from Hungary’s ‘big’ cities
Abstract:
This paper intends to fill a gap in critical smart city scholarship regarding the Central Eastern European (CEE) context. To this end, smart city understandings and practices in Hungary’s five (non-capital) major cities are examined through a discourse-analytical focus on relevant municipal planning documents, existing interventions and key actors’ interpretations. The paper concludes that although smart city building in Hungary in many ways aligns with trends in the Global North and South, there are also notable differences that need to be contextualized in the country’s historically shaped trajectory of urban (policy) development, especially its post-socialist institutional path-dependencies.

Title: Political graffiti in the political symbolic space of Prague, Czechia
Abstract:
Graffiti is an important theme for our understanding of subcultural urban space and the ‘shadows’ of the city. This paper examines their spatial concentration in Holešovice district of the Czech capital Prague. Four theories have been used to explain the spatiality of graffiti: territorial markers, broken window, spot theory, and political symbolic space. While the first three theories all explain the spatial distribution of graffiti, they are each limited when applied to political graffiti. Conversely, the theory of political symbolic space, based on David Harvey’s relative space and Henri Lefebvre’s representational space, helps explain the concentration of political graffiti.

Title: Serving the national on the global plane: disentangling Chinese cities’ practice of international law
Abstract:
International lawyers have finally turned their attention to cities. However, the emerging interdisciplinary literature on International Law and Cities has largely overlooked Chinese cities cultivating in a distinct political context. Such neglect may further contribute to a crude understanding of China’s growing ambition in its international legal strategy in general and Chinese cities’ practice of international law in particular. This article aims to fill that gap by reflecting upon the relationship between China’s central government and local governments in dealing with international legal affairs and elucidating how Chinese cities engage with international law in global politics and governance.

Title: The Politics of the EU Urban Agenda: Mobilising the ‘Right to the City’ for European Governance?
Abstract:
The Urban Agenda for the European Union (UAEU) introduces a new stakeholder mechanism for transnational cooperation on sustainable development. Whilst planners welcome this ‘soft’ urban approach to EU policy, globalisation critics warn of network governance impairing the ‘rights to the city’. Indeed, the experience of EU regional policy cautions promises of subnational participation and proposes differentiated institutional effects of political mobilisation. So, how can the urban mechanisms now contribute to European governance? Conceptualising the UAEU as an evolving political field highlights both the potentials and limitations of governing diversity, thus contributing to the democratic politicisation of transnational urban governance.

Title: Assessing job-access inequity for transit-based workers across space and race with the Palma ratio
Abstract:
This study examines the job-access inequity between the richest 10% and poorest 40% transit-based workers across space (i.e. central city, the inner-ring/outer-ring suburb) and race (i.e. white, black and Hispanic) in Chicago. The results indicate that there are job-access inequities across both space and race. In terms of job-access inequity across race, there are more job-access inequities for whites and blacks than for Hispanics. In terms of job-access inequity across space, the central city has the least cross-race inequities while the outer-ring suburb has the most cross-race inequities. Overall, job-access inequities are more serious across space than across race.

Title: Urban impacts of Spain 1982 and Italy 1990 FIFA World Cup: a comparative analysis with more recent sports mega-events
Abstract:
This work identifies the urban impacts of two FIFA World Cups organised before the consolidation of the urban entrepreneurialism model, Spain 1982 and Italy 1990, and compares them with those of more recent sports mega-events. Main differences mostly concern the impacts related to the material transformation of hosting cities, with more recent events mostly affected. At the same time, most of the outcomes related to the urban politics sphere seem not to be much dependent on the type of governance model, whether it is influenced by entrepreneurial urbanism or not.

Title: Urban planning and policy in portugal: an overview on the role of eu funds and guidelines
Abstract:
This work aims to shed light on the contribution of the Cohesion Policy to the urban dimension of Portuguese cities. This research is based on a case study of Porto. The results show that their contribution was positive, especially concerning the extensive rehabilitation of problematic urban areas, the reinforcement of local administrative entities’ strategic planning and the development of citizen participation mechanisms, accountability and public‒private partnerships. However, the research also identified that the government structure is too centralised and excessive local funding competition made the process more complex, with concepts being applied more to the discourse than practice.

Title: Urban renewal policies in the Netherlands in an era of changing welfare regimes
Abstract:
In The Netherlands, post-war urban renewal policies have emerged under the influence of various welfare regimes. Corporatist and social democratic regimes promoted social justice, social cohesion, inclusion and redistribution of income; urban renewal policies stimulated social mix and area-based interventions. Both public and market partners and residents were involved. Liberal ideas became increasingly explicit from the 1990s, and became dominant after 2010. Individuality, ‘citizens own responsibility’, and cuts in public services were leading objectives. Private investors and entrepreneurs were leading the renewal, facilitated by the state. In this paper we focus on the most recent policies and their effects.

Title: An analysis of urban policies and strategies on health and nutrition in Nigeria
Abstract:
Urban policies on health and nutrition in Nigeria are much in need. To underscore the reality of such need, we conducted a review of selected urban health and nutrition policies and strategies. We used an appropriate framework by Bandauko that outlines the content of a good urban policy for high-level analysis of the reviewed policies and strategies. Our review discovered neglect of urban health in Nigeria, evidence by a lack of urban health-focused policies. On urban nutrition, policies and strategies are rather aimed at enhancing the political-economy of a few, than improving nutritional levels of the people. Overall, the policies were barely effective owing to how they are developed, implemented and evaluated.

Title: Urban spectacularisation and social housing : an asymmetrical relation ? The habitations Jeanne-Mance in Montreal’s quartier des spectacles
Abstract:
Located in the heart of Montreal’s Quartier des Spectacles, the Habitations Jeanne-Mance is a vast social housing scheme that contrasts starkly with the Quebec metropolis’s cultural showcase. However, despite their differences, these urban projects have been subject to similar beautification practices. Both have drawn on public art and culture as resources, but the two beautification processes have taken different forms. In the Quartier des Spectacles, they have been aimed at attracting audiences, while in the Habitations Jeanne-Mance, they have sought to reinforce a sense of belonging. In this article, we analyse how these symbolic recoding processes have interconnected and overlapped.

Title: Recognizing, supporting and embracing the urban informal economy in Ghana: A local economic development perspective
Abstract:
The informal economy has become a vibrant and growing phenomenon across the world. Within the context of sustainable development, connecting local economic development (LED) to the informal economy is imperative. However, the informal economy remains largely neglected within the conventional LED literature. Using key informant interviews and focus group discussions, this paper found that recognizing, embracing and supporting informal economy contributes to a more inclusive form of LED. The study concluded that local government authorities need to be more innovative in recognising the informal economy as part of local governments’ strategies for addressing unemployment, and supporting livelihoods.

Title: From the representative to the radical: how novel forms of participation can reform democracy and reduce existential risk
Abstract:
Existential risk is higher than is commonly thought. This risk can be reduced by improving our democratic processes and institutions. Local government has the opportunity, and therefore the responsibility, to experiment in this field. To inform this experimentation, this paper will discuss two novel types of participation. First, representative deliberative processes that reintroduce the Ancient Athenian practice of random selection, updating it wth modern statistical methods to ensure representativeness. Second, the ‘radical’ processes advocated for by RadicalxChange that permit mass participation but use a quadratic formula to accurately determine the strength of preferences, and not just their direction.

Title: Intra-urban industrial restructuring in the city of Copenhagen: workplaces and employment changes in metro- and non-metro-served areas, 2002-2012
Abstract:
This study analyses intra-urban locational restructuring in the City of Copenhagen ten years after the opening of the Copenhagen Metro in 2002. The locations and growth dynamics of workplaces and employment are examined by examining changes in entry and exit, growth and decline, and relocation in and out of both metro- and non-metro-served areas of the city. As a result, this study demonstrates the strong spatial restructuring that has taken place in the city of Copenhagen by covering multi-dimensional processes, including sectoral shifts, renewal and relocation.

Title: How can green events accelerate urban sustainability transitions? Insights from eight German regional garden shows
Abstract:
This paper builds on an acceleration mechanisms framework from transition studies and analyzes the role of green events for sustainable urban transformations. We study eight regional garden shows in German small and medium-sized cities, using interview and document data as well as on-site visits for an in-depth qualitative analysis. Our findings reveal that garden shows contribute to urban sustainability through implementing green projects and supporting small initiatives. We find that instrumentalizing and upscaling are crucial mechanisms for accelerating urban transitions, while replicating, partnering and embedding play a supporting role. The importance of these mechanisms, however, varies over time.

Title: ‘Let’s do it together’: fostering social innovation through a university-community collaboration. The ‘Grandangolo’ project in the Aurora neighbourhood in Turin
Abstract:
Using the case of the ‘Grandangolo’ project in Turin, funded by the European Union (EU) through the 4th call on urban security of the Urban Innovative Actions (UIA) programme, the paper discusses the role of the university and the relationship between the latter and local actors in enabling social innovation ecosystems through public funds. In a complex system where greater engagement of neighbourhoods is increasingly required in order to find solutions to local issues, university action-research laboratories can help achieve this task.

Title: Post-suburban arrival spaces and the frame of ‘welfare offloading’: notes from an Italian suburban neighborhood
Abstract:
Drawing upon the debates on ‘suburbanisms’ and ‘arrival space’, this article explores the complexities for welfare governance in multiethnic peripheries.The paper bridges two themes of the contemporary ‘suburban century’: the intensified global migration flows and the peripheral condition of suburbs worldwide; the work refers to the Municipality of Pioltello, a multiethnic suburban area in Milan’s region. This double-sided perspective reveals governance dynamics, here discussed through the concept of ‘welfare offloading’. In the observed neighborhood, governmental complexities disclose profound interdependencies with the region’s urban core and across municipalities; welfare tensions are ‘offloaded’ from the central core to peripheral regions.

Title: Some ideas for a post-war recovery of Ukrainian cities
Abstract:
The author gives a short overwiev of ”Military Operations in Urban Terrain” (MOUT) as known from history, especially from World War II, especially in Kyiv and Budapest. Some reflections on history and actual state of civil defence follow. After an overwiev of actual Ukrainian local government reform and planning legislation, a description of desirable legilatvie and financial action for the post-war time are described. A sort of ”Marsahll Plan” including the relevant institutions, and measures in the field of urban development, especially renewal, organisation of authorities, safeguarding plans, reallocation of property rights and - perhaps - betterment levy will be needed. Strategic environmental assessment should be introduced in acordance with EU legislation.

Title: Tourism in common: policy flows and participatory management in the Tourism Council of Barcelona
Abstract:
This study aims to conceptualise the organisational framing of tourism management in touristified cities, focusing on the assessment of participatory processes of tourism planning. A grounded theory approach is used to analyse and discuss the role of the newly created consultive Tourism Council of Barcelona. An analysis of in-depth interviews undertaken with representatives of local stakeholders led to Common Pool Resources and policy cycle theories as conceptual framework to support a precise characterisation of tourism-related conflicts in Barcelona. The results reveal difficulties to obtain consensual strategic views for tourism development, although working groups contribute to cooperation between stakeholders.

Title: ‘Smart’ in another way: the potential of the Fab City approach to reconfigure urban dynamics
Abstract:
Is the ‘Smart City’ the only ‘smart’ city model? Not necessarily, if we consider the space opened by the ‘Fab City’ project, which expands the idea of fab labs and seems to constitute an alternative approach to urban functioning. In this approach, production is delivered at the city level, close to the inhabitants, with the promise of being able to meet some basic needs, notably through manufacturing workshops that are located in the neighborhoods and that put relatively advanced machines at the disposal of local communities. Proponents of the ‘Fab City’ promote a city where citizens once again become manufacturers and take responsibility for their own needs, reclaiming technologies collaboratively and contributing to the control of various flows (materials, energy, etc.) which shape urban ecological situations. In order to evaluate to what extent this project can constitute an original and even alternative guiding framework adapted to certain rising urban challenges, this contribution begins by studying its emergence and the rationale on which it is built, so as to better identify the vision it rests on and its embedded socio-technical dimensions. The contribution then specifies and analyzes the issues that are reframed and the strategic implications that result from them, demonstrating how this approach tends to displace ways of considering cities and their functioning. The analysis thus highlights the intellectual and operational space available for a different type of project and trajectory for cities that wish to have an alternative locally anchored way of using technical resources in the service of the inhabitants while better respecting ecological constraints.

Title: Rhythmic processes of temporary use: understanding spatially detached stabilization through fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis
Abstract:
Considering the climbing interest to relate temporary uses with long-term change, this contribution explores how temporary uses demonstrate spatially detached stabilization (SDS) as well as the factors supporting this process. A rhythmanalytical approach helps reframe SDS temporally, while insights from existing research in the context of urban regeneration inform a fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) accounting for seven different factors. The contribution analyses data collected from 40 cases in the cities of Bremen (DE) and Rotterdam (NL) to reveal that combinations of factors support the trajectories of SDS. These foreground spatial and functional concerns and invite further inquiry.

Title: Exploring the agency of policy through ecological urbanism for climate action: water and sanitation systems of Bengaluru
Abstract:
The cities of the world have been the exploiters of resources and the largest generators of waste. This paper explores the concept of Ecological Urbanism as a framework to convert cities from being waste generators to resource producers. The example of the wastewater from Bengaluru going into the lakes of Kolar is studied. The treated wastewater of the city reaches Kolar to fill its lakes, which subsequently recharges the groundwater . One city’s waste becomes another’s resource in this process. The case of Kolar-Bengaluru is studied while asking critical questions of urban-rural planning with ecology as a main premise.

Title: The effects of the local and regional conditions and inequalities on urban shrinkage: a multilevel analysis focusing on local population decline
Abstract:
Urban shrinkage is becoming a worldwide issue. However, empirical investigation still lacks an understanding of the spatial extent of the factors that drive local population decline, a prevalent aspect of urban shrinkage. Empirical evidence on multilevel factors relating to population decline is particularly scarce. We investigated the influences by analyzing economic, social, physical, and policy conditions at the local and regional levels. Regional conditions, as well as local conditions, are also related to the decline of the local population. The effect goes beyond economic and demographic conditions; conditions such as the local infrastructure level and development policy also significantly influence.

Title: European cities in Europe’s recovery plan: an historical opportunity for urban transformation?
Abstract:
The EU post-pandemic recovery plan ‘NextGeneration EU’ is set to mobilise close to 750 billion of investments over the next 4 years. Beyond economic recovery, its ambition is to transform Europe’s development model and to align it with the objectives of the European Green Deal. This article provides an overview of the role that European cities have so far played in the design and implementation of such plan. In particular, it describes the actions taken by cities to gain a relevant role in the respective National Recovery and Resilience Plans. The article presents survey data that illustrate the marginal role given so far to cities by national governments. On this basis, it raises questions on the ability of the EU recovery plan to address major implementation challenges and to become a driver for urban transformation.

Title: Do voluntary civic engagement and non-profit leadership challenge local political leadership in urban development?
Abstract:
EU policies support a place-based approach with the increasing role of local partners in political decision-making. The current crisis of formal political leadership raises the question of whether or not formal leadership is becoming dispersed and informal place leadership can succeed in filling the vacuum. Based on data from the implementation of 58 EU-funded Integrated Urban Development Plans in Czechia, we found that informal leadership is challenging formal local political leadership. Nevertheless, its success has been limited in obtaining political legitimacy due to missing dialogue between the local movements and nonprofit leaders when searching for solutions to local problems.

Title: We’re in this together: Capacities and relationships to enable community resilience
Abstract:
This paper studies how residents in the neighbourhood Bospolder-Tussendijken (BoTu) have dealt with the COVID-19 restrictions. Prior to the pandemic, significant investments in community-building were made to increase resilience of individuals and communities in BoTu. This paper identifies the key assets BoTu residents had developed and actually during this ultimate challenge. Interviews with formal and informal actors in BoTu revealed that community leadership, engaged governance, problem-solving ability, and information sharing environment were essential to adequately respond to the crisis, and were successfully deployed. The paper concludes with five policy implications to help strengthen capacities and relationships needed for community resilience.

Title: Analysis of structure and spatial deprivation in Akure, Nigeria
Abstract:
Deprivation and inequality are rife in Nigerian cities, a phenomenon that is seen as a threat to social cohesion and stability. The multi-variable approach was adopted to account for the intercorrelation of different socio-economic problems in the city. The objectives were to find the spatial drivers of deprivation, the level of variation in deprivation within the city and finding the structure, interrelationships and variability of the individual factors within the city. Results reveal spatial disparities in pathological conditions, access to amenities and infrastructure within the city. Policy implications in favour of disadvantaged areas in the allocation of funds and resources were recommended.

Title: Who and how decides when and where? Drifts and deadlocks in metropolitan governance
Abstract:
Analyzing metropolitan governance is a way of understanding the changes that have taken place to increasing the competitiveness, efficiency, and equity thereof. We use a theoretical structure that combines the history of the Lisbon Metropolitan Area with three conceptual elements: shift from government to governance; paradigms of metropolitan governance; and factors specific to metropolitan areas. Through these, we reveal the complex institutional architecture at play in this territory. Finally, we explore to what extent these relate with legal framework and development pressures, and how the latter frequently seem to be conditioned by conjunctural impulses and not by a long-term vision.-

Title: Mayors’ attention to metropolitan policy: exploring communication and engagement patterns in Rockford, Illinois
Abstract:
Mayors are important intergovernmental actors. Understanding how they conceptualize their roles in intergovernmental relations can help us better understand metropolitan governance. Network institutionalism and institutional role theory frame this investigation of how mayors discuss their metropolitan policy engagement in the Rockford, Illinois, USA Metropolitan Statistical Area. Through an exploratory case study of this mid-sized American metropolitan region, including in-depth interviews, social network analysis, and review of media coverage, embeddedness in metropolitan-wide policy dialogue is contrasted with clique-based interactions that advance policy goals for smaller groups of local governments in the region. Differentiating how mayors participate in metropolitan intergovernmental relations aids in a refined theoretical understanding of polycentric metropolitan governance while also highlighting practical challenges for political leaders in metropolitan collective action.

Title: Localising centralised climate policies in Ghana: insights from 3 local governments
Abstract:
Urban climate governance scholarship has paid little attention in Sub-Saharan Africa, where studies of this kind are needed. Using semi-structured interviews with officials from three local governments with populations less than 300,000 inhabitants, this paper explores how centralized climate policies are implemented locally in Ghana. The results show that though the national climate policies are good tools, local government’s ability to implement them is quite limited due to a lack of independence and funding to make climate decisions. But with the growing climate crisis, the paper concludes that urban climate governance is likely to improve especially in developing countries.

Title: Survival strategies in inner-city neighborhoods: the case of Colombian and Peruvian migrants in Brussels, Belgium
Abstract:
The rise of poverty in Western European countries due to different processes such as the dualization and polarization of the labour market has led to different mechanisms of social exclusion. In this paper, low-income Colombian and Peruvian migrants in Brussels, Belgium) are the subject of study. This article highlights the different survival strategies employed by these households in different economic settings. Their survival strategies are analyzed in two municipalities – with different concentrations of Latin Americans – both located in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas. These urban settings offer different opportunities for social integration and community development, primarily related to the neighborhood resources.

Title: The role of civil society in urban governance: bottom-linked initiatives in Athens
Abstract:
The article contributes to contemporary urban studies debates on the role of civil society in governance, by critically considering the possibilities and limitations the bottom-linked approach entails for inclusive urban governance. Through an empirical analysis of bottom-linked initiatives developed in the city of Athens, it investigates emergent forms of cooperation and conflict between institutional and civil society actors. Further, it offers an analysis of the different dimensions the bottom-linked model may acquire, contributing insights into the entangled dynamics of self-responsibilization and self-emancipation implicated with emergent notions of citizenship and governance in Southern European cities.

Title: Power relations and local agency: a comparative study of European mining towns
Abstract:
Local agency is marked by its structural boundedness including nation state strategies. We investigate the dynamic and mutually constitutive interrelationship between agency and state strategies to better understand and explain change in local development with the examples of four mining towns: Kiruna (Sweden), Zeitz (Germany), Most (Czechia) and Tatabánya (Hungary). They embody processes of industrial transition and mining activities that are heavily regulated by (supra-) national authorities and marked by constantly changing multiscalar power relations. We find local agency is constrained by rather specific relations and can be facilitated by more complementary ones, both on local level and between different scales.

Title: Authenticity and integrity as qualifiers in managing living historic cities
Abstract:
Authenticity and integrity are accepted qualifiers for cultural sites for inscription on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. Mentioned in various principles and frameworks, they have significant implications for heritage management guidelines and strategies. In Living historic cities, which are dynamic and subject to change applying these qualifiers is very complex. The paper critically discusses the challenges of defining authenticity and integrity within policies and their application on the ground. It argues that authenticity and integrity must embrace change as a constant factor and that a third qualifier – sustainability – must be incorporated into the management of historic cities.

Title: Chongqing People’s Square after 1997: situated publicness of municipal squares in reform-era China
Abstract:
The publicness of publicly owned public spaces is an important concept that needs further examination, especially in countres like China where most urban public spaces are publicly owned and managed. This case study of Chongqing People’s Square reveals that the transformation of municipal squares’ publicness in reform-era China is closely linked with the country’s shifting political and sociocultural contexts. We argue that despite traditionally valued public ownership and planning-design qualities, the crucial role of governance management in shaping the publicness of publicly owned and managed public space is not yet fully understood.

Title: Acceptance of users and non-users of an autonomous shuttle service
Abstract:
An experiment was piloted by Nantes Métropole concerning a transport service operated by an autonomous shuttle in spring 2019 in the Nantes-Bouguenais airport area. This paper aims to present the acceptance of the autonomous shuttle of the Nantes site. 85 respondents, users and non-users of the shuttle, answered a questionnaire. The results show differences between these two populations of respondents, particularly in terms of their feeling of safety, the time saved on their trip compared to their usual mode of travel and the number of seats available in the shuttle.

Title: Beyond Desakota: the urbanization process and spatial restructuring in contemporary Vietnam
Abstract:
This study explored Vietnam’s urbanization process and spatial restructuring over the last 30 years to conceptualize a new phenomenon challenging the concept of desakota. We constructed socioeconomic and urban land cover data from 1987 to 2018. Furthermore, we compared the urbanization process with the economic transition and mapped urban land growth patterns. The study found the following urbanization features: (1) fluctuating process of urbanization by development stage in a transitional economy, (2) formation of heterogeneous spatial patterns in metropolitan regions, (3) dramatic landscape changes caused by capitalistic property developments, and (4) functional reordering among urban centers and newly urbanized areas.

Title: Community self-governance in São Paulo’s informal settlements through the PAA framework
Abstract:
This comparative case study examines community self-governance in informal settlements in São Paulo, Brazil, through the Policy Arrangement Approach. Drawing on participant observation and semi-structured interviews, I highlight the importance of context in shaping self-governance and outcomes. Self-governance embodies power and politics, often not contained to the spatial boundaries of the informal settlements, and developed through intersecting nodes of people, organizations, institutions, resources, spaces. Ultimately, this study questions the notion of self-governance as a simplistic binary to propose self-governance as a dialectical continuum of self/non-self, recognizing the realities of governing communities as multiple, complex, and fluid.

Title: E-participation and engagement in urban planning: experiences from the Baltic cities
Abstract:
Based on an analysis of plan-making processes in 12 Baltic cities, this study explores public engagement strategies and dominant ICT-enabled engagement approaches and processes in the post-socialist context. The results show that e-participation is an integral part of the city planning practices in all three Baltic States, primarily contributing to the diversification of informing and consulting processes. More meaningful participation is achieved by combining e-participation with follow-up deliberation, demonstrating the potential of blended and iterative participatory strategies. Moreover, ICT-enabled self-organization is forcing a shift towards greater transparency, accountability, and civic involvement that is transformative for the post-socialist context.

Title: Industrial lands, equity, and economic diversity: a comparative study of planned employment areas in Melbourne, Australia
Abstract:
Cities develop innovation districts and mixed-use employment centres to grow knowledge industries and encourage sustainable urban form. However, this strategy may contribute to socio-economic inequality and uneven development. It also often relies on conversion of industrial zones, which may counter unequal urban development by supporting quality jobs and a diverse economic mix. This research aims to demonstrate the value of industrial land by comparing their employment and equity roles to other planned employment areas in Melbourne, Australia. We find that industrial zones support an overlooked source of employment and provide a more diverse employment and income base than other areas.

Title: Public housing and the PINQuA in Italy
Abstract:
After decades of disinvestment in public housing in Italy, the European Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) opens a window of opportunity for the regeneration of a housing segment displaying multidimensional (structural, spatial, economic, and social) criticalities. The PINQuA (Programma Innovativo Nazionale per la Qualità dell’Abitare), endowed with € 2,8 billion from the RRF, is a national programme, promoted by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Sustainable Mobility (MIMS), aimed at enhancing the quality of housing and urban spaces, with a particular focus on the requalification and increase of the social housing stock and the adoption of innovative models of management and social inclusion. After the identification of 159 projects eligible for funding, it has recently entered the implementation phase, to be concluded until 31 March 2026. As the PINQuA is currently considered the main tool for addressing severe deficiencies in the residential landscape of Italy, high hopes are associated with the programme. The objective of this paper is to understand whether these hopes are justified with respect to the regeneration needs of the Italian public housing stock, analysing (i) to which degree public housing is the object of regeneration activities in PINQuA projects; (ii) which types of regeneration activities have been admitted for funding; (iii) innovative elements that can be identified in projects; and (iv) shortcomings of the programme and related procedures. The research has been developed through document analysis and a series of semi-structured interviews with stakeholders from the public housing sector, public administrations, Federcasa (the Italian Federation of Public and Social Housing Providers) and academics.

Title: The impacts of neighbourhood governance on residents’ sense of community: a case study of Wuhan, China
Abstract:
This study examined the association between sense of community and neighbourhood governance. Based on residents’ evaluation of the service efficacies of the government, market and resident agencies, three types of neighbourhood governance are identified: tripartite balance governance, weak-market governance and government-dominated governance. The tripartite balance governance does not necessarily lead to a higher sense of community than the government-dominated governance, but the latter significantly promotes a higher sense of community than the weak-market governance. The diversity of agencies is not necessarily conducive to sense of community, whilst those agencies’ horizontal cooperation based on even power relations promotes sense of community.

Title: Housing allowance and the perverse theory of housing outcomes
Abstract:
This paper challenges economic theory applied within empirical literature on housing allowances for rent. The arguments challenged are (i) subsidy is a price drop, which increases demand, (ii) allowance is income, where housing is a normal good, which raises demand, (iii) higher subsidy increases willingness to pay more for housing, and (iv) allowance incentivises optimal consumption to their highest achievable value. In practice, tenants remain unaware of price discounts for the distribution of rents, rendering revealed preference/demand theory inconsistent. Not incomes, allowances (in New Zealand) unfold as a(regressive) negative income and wealth tax unique to each recipients resources.

Title: School and neighborhood selection as mechanism of socio-urban exclusion in Santiago of Chile: an action approach
Abstract:
We propose to study a set of biographical narratives about neighborhoods and schools’ selection in Santiago of Chile. Our argument holds that these family decisions have the capacity to transform institutional logics which are fundamental in the experience of urban integration/exclusion. In the analysis of 25 in-depth interviews, we identify three interpretative keys to explain these decisions: biographical disengagement, social retraction and polarization of representations, which together point at the search for social integration as the main absence in urban institutions. Finally, we discuss the limitations of a socio-territorial policy where integration is a secondary effect and not a declared action or policy outcome.

Title: Affordable housing alternatives in George Town World Heritage Site: what we have and what is possible
Abstract:
Affordable housing is vital in ensuring the inclusiveness of a city. However, urbanization and gentrification have exacerbated the gap between housing availability and housing affordability. Many factors have contributed to the displacement of local communities in George Town World Heritage Site (GTWHS), with rental spike and the repeal of the Control of Rent Act, among others. Through a survey with 318 samples, this study investigates affordable housing alternatives and its administration in GTWHS of Penang state, Malaysia. Policy recommendations are suggested to improve the diversity of affordable housing options and to conserve the historic city’s intangible living heritage.

Title: Factors and levels of community participation using the example of small-scale regeneration interventions in selected neighbourhood spaces in Polish cities
Abstract:
This article analyses the regeneration initiatives conducted in urban courtyards in Poland based on the participatory mechanisms, diversity, and activity of participants, and collaborative capacity. The aim of the study is to identify the factors that determine the level of success of participatory urban regeneration within neighbourhood spaces. The research was carried out using methods such as in-depth interviews and field observations. The results highlight the role of local communities and the necessity to directly engage them in making changes. In conclusion, the authors attempt to indicate the process-related and contextual factors corresponding with the success of participatory urban regeneration.

Title: Integrating knowledge forms in public transport planning and policies: the case of the Lisbon metropolitan area
Abstract:
Public policy debates about transport planning are often focused on more technical analyses to the detriment of other forms of knowledge. Combining document analysis and interviews with relevant actors, we identify a clear imbalance in the design of transport planning in Lisbon’s Metropolitan Area. There is a clear prevalence of political knowledge, with conflict among key actors as the major source of knowledge and the neglect of other forms, particularly those associated with deliberative processes. The findings also suggest that these imbalances decrease the legitimacy and optimality of potential solutions to complex problems in Lisbon’s transport policy.

Title: Gatekeepers of local environmental progress? Self-referencing practices of urban bureaucracy
Abstract:
We argue that contemporary debate on innovative urban environmental governance underestimates the influence of bureaucratic self-referencing practices. Informed by organisational and institutional theories, we define them as mechanisms for strategic incorporation of new environmental rules while keeping former administrative structures stable. Analysis of new units in Polish cities identified three such practices: defining bureaucratic identity, translating environmental issues, and managing external actors. Thus, urban bureaucracy is ‘a gatekeeper’ that can soften or strengthen the administrative boundaries of environmental progress. We, therefore, recommend the careful evaluation of innovative administrative forms to determine whether they meet social and environmental expectations.

Title: Housing refugees from Ukraine: preliminary insights and learnings from the local response in five European cities
Abstract:
The Russian war of aggression against Ukraine caused an escape of >7 million people to other European countries. In this extreme context, the accommodation of refugees has been an urgent need and an unexpected challenge for the host cities and societies. This short paper discusses insights and learnings on housing and accommodation of Ukraine war refugees at the local scale. It summarises challenges within the general management of (housing) integration, discusses related learnings from the hitherto coping mechanisms and sheds light on policy implications for the future by embedding the migration challenge of Ukrainian refugees into a wider context.

Title: Sustainable mobility transitions in suburbia – exploring (dis)connections between transport planning and daily mobility
Abstract:
The development of low-carbon cities calls for a restructuring of their suburban hinterlands, and regional land-use and transport planning has become an instrument to achieve this. However, this restructuring has several social implications and is lived by people, who are expected to develop more sustainable practices. There are disconnections between planning practices and people’s everyday practices, of which the literature has provided little to explore and solve. This paper deals with this by studying how regional low-carbon transport strategies are implemented, translated, and lived in a suburban context, and discusses how disconnections between scales of mobility transitions might be bridged.

Title: Patchy neighbourhood changes from street micro level: an insight from residents and businesses
Abstract:
Despite the rich literature dealing with urban changes in former socialist cities, little attention has been paid to residents’ perceptions of these transformations. This ethnographic study of a street in the centre of Bucharest tells two different stories that do not come together: one has to do with the urban environment, buildings, and local businesses, the other with the residents and their understanding of the street. The empirical evidence reveals surprising and puzzling features for theorizing neighbourhood changes related to Romania’s social and cultural context, which can probably be endorsed in other cities as well.

Title: From climate policy pioneers to climate policy leaders? The examples of the eastern German cities of Potsdam and Rostock
Abstract:
We illustrate how the two mid-sized post-socialist eastern German cities Potsdam and Rostock have managed to become climate pioneers, despite being located in regions that have been reluctant with regard to climate action. Drawing on municipal documentation and fieldwork interviews, we show how favorable and interrelated conditions concerning a city’s socio-demographic, socio-economic, and particularly political situation were more important for progressive climate action than both cities’ embeddedness in their respective regions. We also show how the absence of external ambitions and mayoral support hindered Potsdam and Rostock from making the leap from a pioneer to a leader.

Title: Pre-conditions and barriers for territorial innovation through smart specialization strategies: the case of the lagging Centro region of Portugal
Abstract:
This research aims to understand the relevant pre-conditions and barriers for territorial innovation behind the Research and Innovation Strategies for Smart Specialisation (RIS3) of a lagging European Union (EU) region. For that purpose, a Delphi was conducted to a panel of experts responsible for the design of the RIS3 of the Centro region of Portugal. Consensus was reached on the role of determinant factors for territorial innovation, but the operationalization and effectiveness of the RIS3 remained debatable. Policy recommendations focus on the need to increase the inclusiveness of different actors and knowledge in RIS3 and overcome some of its barriers.

Title: Women Leadership at the Apex. The Distinctiveness of Urban Women Mayors in Europe
Abstract:
Women occupy leadership positions at all levels of government. While the topic has been extensively investigated and referred to national legislatures, other venues remain under-researched. By focusing on the mayoral office, this article aims at contributing to fill the research gap regarding the local government arena and specifically executive positions. Drawing on a survey of around 2,600 European mayors, the study investigates whether women and male mayors differ in their social backgrounds, recruitment patterns and policy priorities. The resulting identikit of the ‘Urban European Woman Mayor’ points to important differences in the career path confirming the differences in policy priorities.

Title: Urban villages in China and India: parallels and differences in the village extension process
Abstract:
Urbanizing villages are erstwhile rural villages that are spatially enveloped and are characterized by their dual relation to the state, which expresses itself as an issue of citizenship; of land ownership; of governance; and building regulations. This paper transcends the current focus on villages in Southern China, by comparing village urbanization between China and India through four narratives of village extensions. Four parallel readings are offered, namely that urban villages are characterized by; shared tenure rooted in their rural past; inherited administrative boundaries that are re-imbued with new legal designations; emulation of traditional practices; and sustained modes of self-governance.

Title: Retooling local economies: Practitioners’ experiences with and perspectives on plant closures in Ontario
Abstract:
Since the early 2000s, plant closures have been a significant concern in Ontario, Canada. Scholars and policymakers alike aim to investigate the causes of plant closures and determine how to mitigate their impacts. Despite the large body of literature on plant closures, local economic development practitioners’ perspectives and experiences have been neglected. To fill this gap, this paper interviewed twenty-two practitioners from various cities in Ontario to understand how practitioners perceive and respond to plant closures. The findings provide a comprehensive overview of the various dynamics of plant closures. Also, based on the findings, seven policy recommendations are presented.

Title: Co-producing maintenance and repair: hybrid labor relations in water supply in Accra, Ghana
Abstract:
Access to water supply is still a problem in African cities. This has sparked discussions about how small-scale private actors could collaborate with the state to improve water supply. However, scholarly discussions on water supply have hardly examined the role of such actors in maintenance and repair. This paper shows how water infrastructures are maintained and repaired through hybrid labor relations between private and public actors where formal and informal practices are combined. These findings allow us to shift conceptualization in maintenance and repair beyond the state and explain how private actors enact and challenge the state’s power through maintenance and repair practices.

Title: Winning city competition with a social agenda. The competition imaginary in Viennese urban development plans
Abstract:
In the last decades, many scholars have studied competition between cities and entrepreneurial urban policies. Coming from the evolving field of competition research, we are interested in how competition between cities is constructed and, for this purpose, examine the competition imaginary of Vienna, a city known less for its entrepreneurial policies than for its social welfare policies. The paper employs critical discourse analysis of Viennese policy papers from 1985–2015, a period particularly shaped by the process of competitization. The analysis shows that Vienna’s social and welfare policies are also decisive for the city’s positioning in city competition and rankings.

Title: Is the effect of Airbnb on the housing market different in medium-sized cities? Evidence from a Southern European city
Abstract:
Academic literature has analysed the effects of renting vacation homes in recent years from the perspective of large cities. This paper aims to test whether these effects also occur in smaller tourist cities. For this purpose, the case of San Sebastian (Spain), a medium sized tourist city. We find that a one unit increase per 100 housing units in Airbnb listings leads to a citywide average monthly advertised rent of €1,284.20, an increase of 49.45€, on average. This implies a much higher effect of Airbnb on the rental market than previous studies that focused on large cities.

Title: Brownfield regeneration and the shifting of financial risk: between plans and reality in public-private partnerships
Abstract:
Internationally, brownfield regeneration projects are delivered through public-private partnerships that form complex legal and structural delivery mechanisms. Utilizing private-sector finance and skills is an accepted practice to reduce financial risk for the public sector while delivering profits for the private sector. This article explores three international brownfield regeneration schemes. It highlights how and why financial risk remains within the public sector from the outset or returns to the public sector over time, despite the initial rhetoric for this burden to be carried mainly by the private sector. The analysis improves the empirical understanding of financial risk dynamics in brownfield regeneration.

Title: Understanding experimental governance of urban regeneration from the perspective of social learning – the case of Kingway Brewery in Shenzhen
Abstract:
This study aims to examine the experimental governance of urban regeneration in China from the perspective of social learning, through an empirical study of a pilot project called Kingway Brewery in Shenzhen. Single-loop and double-loop learning have contributed to policy innovation, through converting tacit knowledge from experimental pilot projects into explicit and codified knowledge in policy-making. Problem and strategy framing incrementally became more mature and structured, during the deliberative interaction of continuous experimental practice and social learning. In the micro processes of social learning and policy innovation, planners play a crucial role as intermediators and knowledge brokers.
