The Spatial Distribution of Income Inequality in the European Union
Environment and Planning A - Tập 39 Số 4 - Trang 869-890 - 2007
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
statistically sign...
Changing Governance Patterns in the Trade in Fresh Vegetables between Africa and the United Kingdom
Environment and Planning A - Tập 36 Số 3 - Trang 491-509 - 2004
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 explain why ...
The Circulation of Swedish Urban Sustainability Practices: To China and Back
Environment and Planning A - Tập 47 Số 3 - Trang 537-553 - 2015
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. The ‘sustainable city’ has thus become an
export commodity, supported by the Swedish government and seen as especially
suited to the ...
The travelling business of sustainable urbanism: International consultants as norm-setters
Environment and Planning A - Tập 49 Số 8 - Trang 1779-1796 - 2017
This article examines the international travels of ideas about sustainable urban
planning and design through a focus on private sector architecture, planning and
engineering consultants. These consultants, who we refer to as the global
intelligence corps (GIC), package up their expertise in urban sustainability as
a marketable commodity, and apply it on projects around the world. In doing so,
the ...
Power, Nature, and the City. The Conquest of Water and the Political Ecology of Urbanization in Guayaquil, Ecuador: 1880–1990
Environment and Planning A - Tập 29 Số 2 - Trang 311-332 - 1997
In this paper, I seek to explore how the circulation of water is embedded in the
political ecology of power, through which the urbanization process unfolds. I
attempt to reconstruct the urbanization process as simultaneously a
political-economic and ecological process. This will be discussed through the
exploration of the history of the urbanization of water in Guayaquil, Ecuador.
As approximately...
Justice and the Spatial Imagination
Environment and Planning A - Tập 33 Số 10 - Trang 1785-1805 - 2001
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 against
domina...
Housing Preferences in a Transitional Housing System: The Case of Beijing, China
Environment and Planning A - Tập 36 Số 1 - Trang 69-87 - 2004
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 the
market...
The New Mobilities Paradigm
Environment and Planning A - Tập 38 Số 2 - Trang 207-226 - 2006
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, and imp...
Moving to the Suburbs: Demand-Side Driving Forces of Suburban Growth in China
Environment and Planning A - Tập 45 Số 8 - Trang 1823-1844 - 2013
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 China: Ie, wh...
