Drawing on recent theories in rural geography, I propose the concept of ‘state-led ruralization’, which I define as state agencies’ deliberate effort to reshape rural social space by regulating the relations between rural people and their land, the physical forms of the rural environment and the subjectivity of rural dwellers. I argue that state-led ruralization and extended urbanization, although deeply entangled, are two distinct categories of planetary capitalism. I examine their entanglement through an ethnographic analysis of a case of state-led ruralization: agrarian corporatization in Sangshan, a village in rural Hunan province, China. Following national efforts to maximize food yields to feed urban populations—a mode of land governance that I call the ‘food security regime’—Sangshan village government sought to persuade farmers to sign a deal to transfer their land to an agribusiness corporation. My findings reveal that farmers’ ability to opt out of these deals and retain their farmlands largely depended on the economic power they had previously accumulated in cities through urbanization. These relations between urbanization and ruralization may offer alternative pathways for urban theorization.","PeriodicalId":14327,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Urban and Regional Research","volume":"50 2","pages":"277-292"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-2427.70008","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147567525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, increasing volumes of visitors continue to pour into the world's primary tourist cities and regions, leading to experiences of ‘over-tourism’ across many socio-spatial contexts, worsening congestion at and surrounding tourist sites, growing discontent among local residents, and displacement pressures due to associated processes of transnational gentrification. This study examines these consequences as contemporary manifestations of the contradictory dynamics associated with the pursuit of cultural monopoly rent in one globally recognized and growing tourist destination: Kyoto, Japan. In the process, the study chronicles the creative socio-spatial strategies adopted by the City of Kyoto in response to these contradictions, further nuancing our knowledge of processes of tourism-led housing commodification. Preserving the city's historic and cultural resources, upon which the pursuit of cultural monopoly is based, has involved a carefully calculated degree of (de)commodification in the city's residential and commercial property sectors. The pursuit of cultural monopoly rent is highlighted as both the end goal and the primary means of simultaneously exploiting and preserving the city's ostensibly unique attributes.","PeriodicalId":14327,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Urban and Regional Research","volume":"50 2","pages":"349-365"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147564199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We surveyed middle-class individuals and applied exploratory factor analysis alongside intergenerational comparisons, and our findings reveal that, despite the growing prevalence of renting as a response to market constraints, homeownership persists as a predominant aspiration, particularly for long-term security. The concept of aspirational postponement emerges as a key framework, illustrating how temporary adaptations to renting do not supplant the enduring desire for property ownership. Moreover, this research introduces the experience effect, wherein older generations recognize the practical advantages of apartments over houses, based on lived housing arrangements, and the adjustment effect, which reflects the tempering of idealistic aspirations among younger generations owing to financial and practical constraints. By situating Brazilian housing dynamics within a global context, we highlight the interplay of structural inequalities, cultural norms and generational preferences to offer perspectives for housing policy frameworks in developing economies.","PeriodicalId":14327,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Urban and Regional Research","volume":"50 2","pages":"329-348"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-2427.70007","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147566435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article examines diverse case studies across socio-economic and residential typologies to explore shifts in service provision responsibilities from the state to the citizen. Applying an interdisciplinary approach, this article considers the political impacts of these strategies, arguing that the ways in which citizens supplement and substitute for the state contests and (re)negotiates spaces of sovereignty. While urban studies overwhelmingly analyse these actions through the lens of informality, we argue that sovereignty (the supreme authority of a state to govern itself without external interference) offers a less binary analytical lens. State substitution is increasingly a daily act for many, not only in low-income settlements but also among elites. The article further examines state responses to citizen-led actions in supplementing or substituting services, demonstrating how they range from inaction to permissive negotiation and, rarely, repression. Thus, the political impact of service substitution requires deeper reflection, raising questions regarding the nature of the state and the social contract.","PeriodicalId":14327,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Urban and Regional Research","volume":"50 2","pages":"430-448"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-2427.70001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147566436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The transition from one's own ‘castle’ to a communal living space filled with uncertainties has heightened the visibility of differences and the presence of ‘others’. The local people have perceived tent cities as unsafe areas of struggle occupied by those ‘others’. In this study we focus on the emotional dimensions through which the concept of otherness, a discourse area aimed at separation, is constructed in tent cities. We draw on Sara Ahmed's exploration of the emotional nature of the public sphere and Michel Foucault's concepts of hegemony and heterotopia to analyse data obtained from interviews with earthquake survivors in Malatya. In our research we adopt a critical discourse analysis approach to investigate how emotion-led discourses construct being other, how subjects make sense of who they are, and the conflicting positions and areas of conflict in which subjects remain. Our findings indicate that the earthquake has exacerbated the dimension of ‘othering’ between locals and non-locals, despite their shared experience of crisis.","PeriodicalId":14327,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Urban and Regional Research","volume":"50 2","pages":"486-504"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-2427.70003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147564200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, the literature on post-politics largely depicts participatory decision-making contexts as spaces devoid of the ‘properly political’. Scholars critical of post-politics find this lens paralyzing, as the approach may disregard political moments arising within participatory settings. The lens is useful for diagnosing a decision-making context as post-political on a broader level, but there is a tendency to paper over the significance of the micropolitical landscape operating inside institutional participatory decision-making settings. Revealing this landscape, as is done here for a case of urban renewal in Copenhagen, can help us move beyond the analytical straitjacket of post-politics and defy a simplified image of it. Taking localized political acts seriously, I analyze the actors and practices that emerged during participatory processes used to create two new public parks during a large-scale urban renewal project in the Nørrebro neighborhood in Copenhagen, Denmark from 2001 to 2012. The findings include: conceptually, a dialectical relationship between post-politics and re-politicization; empirically, the construction of a post-political police order, the mechanics of (de)politization, and how opposition interacts with these factors; and, more generally, how voices are reclaimed from noise and the significance of these political moments.","PeriodicalId":14327,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Urban and Regional Research","volume":"50 2","pages":"309-328"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-2427.70005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147567822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
