Urban 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

Urban Studies - 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...... hiện toàn bộ
USA's Destiny? Regulating Space and Creating Community in American Shopping Malls
Urban Studies - Tập 43 Số 5-6 - Trang 977-992 - 2006
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

Urban Studies - Tập 46 Số 2 - Trang 275-294 - 2009

Since the 1980s, much of the new urban development in China has departed significantly from the traditional pedestrian and bicycle-oriented urban form. This study examines the effects of the urban spatial transformation on travel, based on a travel survey of 1709 individuals from four selected neighbourhoods of Shanghai. Although pedestrian/ cyclist-friendly urban form may not avert the g...... hiện toàn bộ
The urbanisation of rural migrants and the making of urban villages in contemporary China
Urban Studies - Tập 55 Số 7 - Trang 1525-1540 - 2018

In the past decades, urban villages proliferate in major cities of China. These marginalised places not only are home to many local villagers, but also host millions of rural migrants. This paper provides an ethnographic account of the spatial and social production of Chinese urban villages. It discusses urban village residents’ detailed tactics in developing/participating in the informal ...... hiện toàn bộ

Three neighbourhoods in south London are compared and it is argued that their differences can, to a limited ...... hiện toàn bộ
Living in the Bubble: Gentrification and its 'Others' in North London

The article examines aspects of middle-class life by a group of 75 gentrifiers in Islington in north London. The study demonstrates that in their day-to-day lives almost all the respondents lived quite apart from non-middle-class residents in Islington. This was demonstrated by their educational strategies which involved finding schooling for their children out of the borough in both the ...... hiện toàn bộ
Encouraging Walking: The Case of Journey-to-school Trips in Compact Urban Areas
Urban Studies - Tập 38 Số 7 - Trang 1121-1141 - 2001
Colin Black, Allan J. Collins, Martin Snell
An activity-based approach is used to analyse one specific short-trip purpose that has persistently frustrated transport analysts trying to induce more walk, cycle or public transport based trips. This study of the journey-to-school trip is motivated by a general consensus that, to effect a more sustainable transport system, there is a necessity to reduce car use (especially for short tri...... hiện toàn bộ
