Social Cohesion, Social Capital and the Neighbourhood
Tập 38 Số 12 - Trang 2125-2143 - 2001
In current theoretical and policy debates concerning social cohesion, the
neighbourhood has re-emerged as an important setting for many of the processes
which supposedly shape social identity and life-chances. It is in this context
of a renewal of interest in local social relations and particularly the
deployment of notions of social capital that this paper offers a critical review
of a wide-rangi...
Smartmentality: The Smart City as Disciplinary Strategy
Tập 51 Số 5 - Trang 883-898 - 2014
The paper analyses the concept of the smart city in critical perspective,
focusing on the power/knowledge implications for the contemporary city. On the
one hand, smart city policies support new ways of imagining, organising and
managing the city and its flows; on the other, they impress a new moral order on
the city by introducing specific technical parameters in order to distinguish
between the ...
Towards Alternative Model(s) of Local Innovation
Tập 42 Số 11 - Trang 1969-1990 - 2005
This paper introduces a Special Topic on social innovation in the governance of
urban communities. It also seeks to widen the debate on the meaning of social
innovation both in social science theory and as a tool for empirical research on
socioeconomic development and governance at the local level. This debate is
organised around ALMOLIN-i.e. alternative models for local innovation as
utilised in ...
The Spatial Mismatch Hypothesis: What Has the Evidence Shown?
Tập 28 Số 1 - Trang 105-122 - 1991
This paper reviews 20 years' worth of empirical evidence on the 'spatial
mismatch' hypothesis. After briefly surveying the relevant models from urban and
labour economics and recent trends in employment and population suburbanisation,
the empirical evidence on spatial effects is examined. This literature includes
evidence on the effects of residential segregation, residential suburbanisation
and e...
Can Land-use Policy Really Affect Travel Behaviour? A Study of the Link between Non-work Travel and Land-use Characteristics
Tập 35 Số 7 - Trang 1155-1169 - 1998
Planners are increasingly viewing land-use policy as a way to manage transport
demand. Yet the evidence on the link between land use and travel behaviour is
inconclusive. This paper uses travel diary data for southern California
residents to examine the link between land-use patterns at the neighbourhood
level and non-work trip generation for a sample of 769 individuals. The number
of non-work aut...
People, Parks and the Urban Green: A Study of Popular Meanings and Values for Open Spaces in the City
Tập 25 Số 6 - Trang 455-473 - 1988
Contemporary provision of open spaces within cities rests largely on
professional assumptions about its significance in the lives of residents. This
paper presents results from the Greenwich Open Space Project which used
qualitative research with four, in-depth discussion groups to determine the
design of a questionnaire survey of households in the borough. The research
shows that the most highly ...
Community Participation in the Real World: Opportunities and Pitfalls in New Governance Spaces
Tập 44 Số 2 - Trang 297-317 - 2007
The shift from government to governance in recent years has created significant
new opportunities for people from disadvantaged communities to participate in
the decisions that affect them. However, the weight of evidence over the years
suggests that these communities have remained on the margins in partnerships and
other initiatives. Governmentality theory helps to explain the ways in which
state...
Measurement of the World City Network
Tập 39 Số 13 - Trang 2367-2376 - 2002
The purpose of this paper is to describe the construction of a set of data that
can be used to measure intercity relations. Building on a specification of the
world city network as an 'interlocking network' in which business service firms
play the crucial role in network formation, information is gathered from global
service firms about the size of their presence in a city and about any
'extra-ter...
Housing Tenure Choice in Transitional Urban China: A Multilevel Analysis
Tập 39 Số 1 - Trang 7-32 - 2002
Using a 1996 national survey of housing in China and a multilevel modelling
technique, we examine housing tenure choice in transitional urban China where
households have been granted limited freedom of choice in the housing market
since the housing reforms of 1988. We find that both market mechanisms and
institutional forces affect households' tenure choice in urban China. While some
socioeconomic...
Social Capital, Gentrification and Neighbourhood Change in London: A Comparison of Three South London Neighbourhoods
Tập 38 Số 12 - Trang 2145-2162 - 2001
Social capital has been used extensively in recent years to examine issues of
social exclusion. Following Bourdieu, the concept is reintegrated into social
theory alongside cultural and economic capital to examine the variations in the
upgrading of gentrified areas of inner London. Three neighbourhoods in south
London are compared and it is argued that their differences can, to a limited
extent, b...
