The Spatial Distribution of Income Inequality in the European UnionEnvironment and Planning A - Tập 39 Số 4 - Trang 869-890 - 2007
Roberto Ezcurra, Pedro Pascual
In this paper we examine the distribution of income inequality among the regions of the European Union from 1993 to 2000. The results obtained show that the levels of inequality vary considerably between regions. Nevertheless, we have detected a high level of positive spatial dependence in the distribution under consideration. However, 57% of the regions considered registered no statistic...... hiện toàn bộ
The New Mobilities ParadigmEnvironment and Planning A - Tập 38 Số 2 - Trang 207-226 - 2006
Mimí Sheller, John Urry
It seems that a new paradigm is being formed within the social sciences, the ‘new mobilities’ paradigm. Some recent contributions to forming and stabilising this new paradigm include work from anthropology, cultural studies, geography, migration studies, science and technology studies, tourism and transport studies, and sociology. In this paper we draw out some characteristics, properties...... hiện toàn bộ
Measuring urban segregation based on individuals’ daily activity patterns: A multidimensional approachEnvironment and Planning A - Tập 49 Số 2 - Trang 467-486 - 2017
Fei Li, Donggen Wang
This paper develops a methodology to measure urban segregation based on individuals’ sociospatial experience of daily life. Since segregation can be considered as the isolation of people from those unlike themselves, its degree increases with the similarity in ethnicity, economic status, or other sociodemographic dimensions of interest between individuals and people who they are exposed t...... hiện toàn bộ
The Spatiotemporal Pricing of Some Urban Public Services: Urban Ecology, Equity, and EfficiencyEnvironment and Planning A - Tập 7 Số 3 - Trang 315-323 - 1975
Stephen L. Feldman, Akın Gönen
The paper discusses pricing schemes for some public services in urban areas with regard to equity and efficiency, taking into consideration the residential geography of cities, in terms of the spatial pattern of population density and the level of income. Spatial pricing schemes that use a distance criterion, especially distance from city center, are shown to be inadequate for purposes of...... hiện toàn bộ
Location Quotients, Ambient Populations, and the Spatial Analysis of Crime in Vancouver, CanadaEnvironment and Planning A - Tập 39 Số 10 - Trang 2423-2444 - 2007
Martin A. Andresen
This paper uses the location quotient, a common measurement from economic geography and regional economics, to capture the specialization of criminal activity in Vancouver, Canada. Location quotients have barely been introduced into criminological research, yet they provide additional insight into crime analysis not available using crime counts and crime rates. The location quotients for ...... hiện toàn bộ
A socioecological fix to capitalist crisis and climate change? The possibilities and limits of renewable energyEnvironment and Planning A - Tập 47 Số 12 - Trang 2485-2502 - 2015
James J. McCarthy
Many have argued that the burning of fossil fuels is an essential component of the socionatural metabolism of capitalism as we know it, and that the anthropogenic climate change it is causing may finally bring about capitalism’s end. In this paper, I explore the potential for, instead, a societal shift towards renewable energy sources as the dominant components of global energy supplies t...... hiện toàn bộ
Beyond the Dilemma of Mobility: Exploring New Ways of Matching Intellectual and Physical MobilityEnvironment and Planning A - Tập 44 Số 3 - Trang 688-704 - 2012
António Ferreira, Peter Nijkamp, Marco te Brömmelstroet, Luca Bertolini
Mobility has become a central aspect of many people's lives. This is the natural result of the massive investments made in the transport sector throughout the world. These investments were made because the benefits provided by mobility are many. However, the negative effects resulting from mobility cannot be ignored when sustainability is considered. This poses a question: how can we expe...... hiện toàn bộ
Financialization and the third sector: Innovation in social housing bond marketsEnvironment and Planning A - Tập 49 Số 4 - Trang 819-838 - 2017
Thomas Wainwright, Graham Manville
The recent global financial crisis has seen investors turn away from real-estate bonds, given their role in distributing risk during the crisis. However, since 2009, a new type of real-estate bond market has grown in London, enabling social housing groups to issue bonds. This could be viewed as further evidence of the extension of financialization practices into new spaces, beyond those o...... hiện toàn bộ
Making the most of community energies: Three perspectives on grassroots innovationEnvironment and Planning A - Tập 48 Số 2 - Trang 407-432 - 2016
Adrian Smith, Tom Hargreaves, Sabine Hielscher, Mari Martiskainen, Gill Seyfang
Grassroots innovations for sustainability are attracting increasing policy attention. Drawing upon a wide range of empirical research into community energy in the UK, and taking recent support from national government as a case study, we apply three distinct analytical perspectives: strategic niche management, niche policy advocacy, and critical niches. Whilst the first and second perspec...... hiện toàn bộ
The Entrepreneurial Turn in the Context of a Central State: Evasive Planning Regulation for Ikea in IsraelEnvironment and Planning A - Tập 45 Số 8 - Trang 1845-1857 - 2013
Igal Charney
This paper considers how municipal entrepreneurialism takes advantage of gaps between state-level planning regulation and local planning capacities. Tensions between local and upper tier regulatory apparatuses are common in Israel, a state characterized by a top-down statutory planning system, where major planning and development issues are subject to the approval of the central state.
