ABSTRACT Few studies have investigated how features of the land surface and the street network affect spatial crime patterns. Accordingly, for the current study, we estimated negative binomial regression models to test for main and moderating effects of elevation, slope, and betweenness on crime across San Francisco street segments. While significant effects were observed for all topography measures

ABSTRACT This paper evaluates the role and impact of neoliberal redevelopment strategies in inner-city urban regeneration projects in Belfast, Beirut, and Jerusalem. As governments in these nationally contested cities struggle against embedded geographies of antagonism and segregation, neoliberal and market-based approaches have arisen in the production of new city center spaces in these contested

ABSTRACT There is renewed interest in housing policy, but the role of local political factors has been understudied.

Follow the money: Do gentrifying and at-risk neighborhoods attract more park spending? Journal of Urban Affairs (IF 1.619) Pub Date : 2021-03-25 Michael Reibel, Alessandro Rigolon, Angelica Rocha
ABSTRACT Recent research has shown that spending in urban green spaces including parks has fostered gentrification, a process known as green gentrification. But could ongoing gentrification and gentrification risk also precede local spending on new or existing parks? Focusing on the City of Los Angeles, we investigate whether park investment generated through developer fees in 2016–2018 went disproportionately

From public goods theory to municipal capitalism: Evaluating investments in sport venues from an urban entrepreneurial perspective Journal of Urban Affairs (IF 1.619) Pub Date : 2021-03-23 Gidon S. Jakar, Mark S. Rosentraub
ABSTRACT Using public goods theory as a guidepost, scholars have correctly observed that subsidies for sport venues are a product of the monopolistic structure of major sport leagues. Without challenging the observation that economic rent is being extracted from cities, we utilize the municipal capitalism framework to explore the ongoing appeal of teams to cities. We note that rising levels of economic

ABSTRACT After the 2018 general election, several scholars remarked on the failure of the 5 Star Movement (5SM) to increase its vote in Milan. While the role of demographic and socioeconomic factors has been highlighted, little attention has been devoted to spatial dynamics. The authors analyze the greater city of Milan using a new set of spatial units that capture the characteristics of the local

Between gentrification and supergentrification: Hybrid processes of socio-spatial upscaling Journal of Urban Affairs (IF 1.619) Pub Date : 2021-03-15 Judith R. Halasz
ABSTRACT The expansion of affluence and the financialization of real estate have marked socio-spatial urban inequality in the 21st century. These developments have contributed to the spread of gentrification and rise of supergentrification, or the further upscaling of already gentrified areas by affluent in-movers. This paper analyzes U.S. Census and American Community Survey data on Brooklyn, New

Why do local governments produce redistributive urban policies? Journal of Urban Affairs (IF 1.619) Pub Date : 2021-03-15 Eduardo Cesar Leão Marques
ABSTRACT Why do local governments produce redistributive urban policies, particularly in cities of the Global South? Present debates oscillate between highlighting these cities’ governmental problems or sustaining the enabling role of institutionalized social participation. From the standpoint of São Paulo, Brazil, this article shows a different picture. The trajectories of 27 redistributive urban

ABSTRACT Although green roofs are considered as a no-regret adaptation measure that helps to address various impacts of climate change, they are still rather rare. This paper explores three major European cities that have policies in place that are supposed to facilitate the installation of green roofs. We ask what approaches were chosen by local authorities to promote green roofs and which factors

ABSTRACT Studies investigating the spatial distribution of knowledge workers focus mainly on the factors that draw them to large primary cities. Second-ranked cities have trouble attracting and retaining these workers. We investigated whether there is a difference between the mobility preferences of knowledge workers residing in second-ranked cities and those of their peers in large primary cities

Grassroots refugee community organizations: In search of participatory urban governance Journal of Urban Affairs (IF 1.619) Pub Date : 2021-02-22 Odessa Gonzalez Benson, Ana Paula Pimentel Walker
ABSTRACT Grassroots refugee community organizations (RCOs)—run by and for resettled refugees—are often small, informal, and financially unstable, and thus commonly forgotten in urban governance networks. Nevertheless, RCOs facilitate the integration of refugee communities in urban settings. We interviewed 42 leaders of 35 RCOs in 35 U.S. cities and conducted four focus groups with community leaders

ABSTRACT In November of 2016, the City of Stonecrest was carved out of Atlanta’s suburban Black Mecca.

ABSTRACT Musicians have always established a symbiotic relationship with the urban environments in which they live and work, with a tendency to aggregate into place-based relational networks. Bologna provides a clear example of this phenomenon to the point that the evolution of its musical scene can be characterized in terms of its relational dynamics. We study a network of artists whose main common

We measure this capital through the variables of volunteer involvement, perceived trust, and social cohesion in an agent-based model, which simulates the
