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
Changing Governance Patterns in the Trade in Fresh Vegetables between Africa and the United KingdomEnvironment and Planning A - Tập 36 Số 3 - Trang 491-509 - 2004
Catherine Dolan, John Humphrey
Over the past twenty years the marketing of African fresh vegetables in the United Kingdom has become dominated by large retailers that have adopted competitive strategies based on quality, year-round supply, and product differentiation. This has led to a dramatic change in marketing channels, from wholesale markets to tightly knit supply chains. Global value chain analysis is used to exp...... hiện toàn bộ
The Circulation of Swedish Urban Sustainability Practices: To China and BackEnvironment and Planning A - Tập 47 Số 3 - Trang 537-553 - 2015
Anna Hult
This paper explores the effects and underlying intentions of Swedish practices of exporting sustainable development models to Chinese ecocities. Under the ‘best-practice’ banner, international architectural firms are often invited to masterplan ecocity developments.

Justice and the Spatial ImaginationEnvironment and Planning A - Tập 33 Số 10 - Trang 1785-1805 - 2001
Mustafa Dikeç
I attempt in this paper to conceptualize a notion of spatial justice in order to point to the dialectical relationship between (in)justice and spatiality, and to the role that spatialization plays in the production and reproduction of domination and repression. I argue that the city provides a productive ground for the formation of a spatially informed ethics of political solidarity again...... hiện toàn bộ
Housing Preferences in a Transitional Housing System: The Case of Beijing, ChinaEnvironment and Planning A - Tập 36 Số 1 - Trang 69-87 - 2004
Donggen Wang, Si‐ming Li
For a prolonged period of time, the Chinese state had monopolised housing provision. Chinese people had virtually no choice of housing. Much has changed with the deepening of the market-oriented reform launched since 1979. A housing market, though not yet a full-fledged one, has been established. People now have greater freedom to choose their homes. More and more people buy houses from t...... 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
Moving to the Suburbs: Demand-Side Driving Forces of Suburban Growth in ChinaEnvironment and Planning A - Tập 45 Số 8 - Trang 1823-1844 - 2013
Jie Shen, Fulong Wu
The existing literature contextualizes China's suburban growth with market-oriented reform and emphasizes the role of local entrepreneurial government. However, studies on the demand-based factors are still lacking. Drawing upon a random survey undertaken in Songjiang, an outer suburban district of Shanghai, this paper investigates the demand-side driving forces of suburban growth in Chin...... hiện toàn bộ
