Land Markets in African Cities: The Case of Peri-urban Accra, Ghana
Urban Studies - Tập 37 Số 13 - Trang 2485-2500 - 2000
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 in peri-ur...
Can Land-use Policy Really Affect Travel Behaviour? A Study of the Link between Non-work Travel and Land-use Characteristics
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-work aut...
Smartmentality: The Smart City as Disciplinary Strategy
Urban Studies - 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 ...
Seeing Red Over Green: Contesting Urban Sustainabilities in China
Urban Studies - Tập 50 Số 11 - Trang 2256-2274 - 2013
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
modernisation...
USA's Destiny? Regulating Space and Creating Community in American Shopping Malls
Urban Studies - Tập 43 Số 5-6 - Trang 977-992 - 2006
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 argued in
this...
Imagine all the Neighbours: Perceived Neighbourhood Ethnicity, Interethnic Friendship Ties and Perceived Ethnic Threat in Four Nordic Countries
Urban Studies - Tập 50 Số 16 - Trang 3305-3322 - 2013
The aim of the article is to analyse the impact of the self-evaluated ethnic
composition of the place of residence on interethnic contacts and attitudes
through the comparison of four Nordic countries. Data come from the European
Social Survey 2002. Compared with ethnically homogeneous neighbourhoods,
interethnic relationships are more common in ethnically mixed neighbourhoods
with some self-repor...
Socio-spatial Dynamics: Ethnic Divisions of Mobility and Housing in post-Palme Sweden
Urban Studies - Tập 35 Số 3 - Trang 397-428 - 1998
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
structural ap...
Parallel Lives? Ethnic Segregation in Schools and Neighbourhoods
Urban Studies - Tập 42 Số 7 - Trang 1027-1056 - 2005
The paper provides evidence on the extent of ethnic segregation experienced by
children across secondary schools and neighbourhoods (wards). Using 2001 Schools
Census and Population Census data, indices of dissimilarity and isolation are
employed to compare patterns of segregation across nine ethnic groups, and
across Local Education Authorities in England. Looking at both schools and
neighbourhoo...
Ethnic Segregation in Cities: New Forms and Explanations in a Dynamic World
Urban Studies - Tập 35 Số 10 - Trang 1631-1656 - 1998
As an introduction to this special issue on ethnic segregation in cities, we
offer the readers an overview of the explanatory factors of ethnic segregation
and spatial concentration in modern welfare states. After a discussion of the
disadvantages and advantages of segregation and concentration, which can be seen
as the impetus behind the widespread interest in this topic, we will briefly
review s...
Urban form, car ownership and activity space in inner suburbs: A comparison between Beijing (China) and Chicago (United States)
Urban Studies - Tập 53 Số 9 - Trang 1784-1802 - 2016
Accompanied by higher levels of car ownership, suburbanisation in Western
countries has a significant impact on motorised travel and long-distance trips.
Chinese cities share some of the suburbanisation trends and patterns of the
United States as well as an increasing number of cars, while there are still
great contextual variations. Through a comparative study of activity space in
two inner subur...
