Land Markets in African Cities: The Case of Peri-urban Accra, GhanaUrban Studies - Tập 37 Số 13 - Trang 2485-2500 - 2000
Katherine V. Gough, Paul W. K. Yankson
Land markets in African cities are characterised by the co-existence of different modes of supply that originate from the different stages of their development. Customary land tenure remains important in many of these cities, although its future is widely disputed. This paper discusses the implications of the co-existence of customary land tenure and state involvement in the land market i...... hiện toàn bộ
Can Land-use Policy Really Affect Travel Behaviour? A Study of the Link between Non-work Travel and Land-use CharacteristicsUrban Studies - Tập 35 Số 7 - Trang 1155-1169 - 1998
Marlon G. Boarnet, Sharon Sarmiento
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...... hiện toàn bộ
Smartmentality: The Smart City as Disciplinary StrategyUrban Studies - Tập 51 Số 5 - Trang 883-898 - 2014
Alberto Vanolo
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 bet...... hiện toàn bộ
Seeing Red Over Green: Contesting Urban Sustainabilities in ChinaUrban Studies - Tập 50 Số 11 - Trang 2256-2274 - 2013
Choon‐Piew Pow, Harvey Neo
The urban sustainability agenda is engaged at some levels with the two concepts of ecological modernisation and urban entrepreneurialism. While they share certain important commonalities (for example, the emphasis on what is normatively understood as ‘right’ policy-making), each has largely progressed on its own intellectual trajectory. It is suggested that the concepts of ecological mode...... hiện toàn bộ

Lynn A. Staeheli, Don Mitchell
In North American cities, shopping malls are heralded as the new town square. Historically, the town square was a place where diverse people came together and where politics, economics and sociability were intermingled. However, shopping centres, which are separated from the old downtown by distance or design, seem for many people to be the new heart of public and social life. It is argue...... hiện toàn bộ
Socio-spatial Dynamics: Ethnic Divisions of Mobility and Housing in post-Palme SwedenUrban Studies - Tập 35 Số 3 - Trang 397-428 - 1998
Roger Andersson
The aim of this article is to analyse ethnic residential segregation in Sweden, both theoretically and empirically. It is argued that ethnic residential segregation, although it is an intra-urban phenomenon, must be viewed in a wider geographical perspective. The three major competing frameworks for analysing ethnic segregation are discussed: the cultural, the cultural racist and the stru...... hiện toàn bộ

Looking at both schools and nei...... hiện toàn bộ
