The third is large-scale light shows around the city in 2018–2019 that turn the facades of high-rises into electronic screens, featuring LED-light imageries generated by algorithms. Utilizing digital media to illuminate Shenzhen as a networked place in the world, these relational place-making practices simultaneously engage with and reveal the contradictions of transparency as a normative ideal upheld by global tech giants and Euro-American governments. Together, they provide a distinctive window to discern China's cultural and political dilemmas in the 21st century.</span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":39061,"journal":{"name":"City, Culture and Society","volume":"34 ","pages":"Article 100518"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43609918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in the current era of environmental change, the literature often refers to the need to address the perception of participatory regeneration in the context of sustainability orientation. This paper aims to identify the potential role of community participation in sustainable urban regeneration processes of small-scale spaces. A qualitative approach was adopted in the research whereby individual interviews and field observations were conducted. The main research questions posed were: What are the challenges to community participation in sustainable urban regeneration processes in courtyard-related projects, and how should community participation be organized to facilitate the transition towards more sustainable urban regeneration? The results present an identification of the most important challenges while also indicating their place in the participation process, and suggestions for methods which can be used as potential solutions. This paper suggests the use of a participatory process cycle involving local communities and focusing on degraded residential areas, such as urban courtyards, which are to be regenerated towards social and environmental sustainability.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":39061,"journal":{"name":"City, Culture and Society","volume":"34 ","pages":"Article 100522"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45976164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Though the notion of the Creative Class has been popular for over two decades, not many studies have analyzed Creative Class in Japan. The objective of this paper is to analyze the spatial distribution of the Super Creative Class in the Greater Tokyo Area (GTA) to better understand the key predictors that drive the spatial distribution of the Super Creative Class. Based on data from the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communication, the spatial distribution of the Super Creative Class seemed highly uneven for the 138 cities and wards of the GTA with significant concentrations in Kawasaki, Tokyo and Tsukuba. A stepwise regression analysis revealed that 60 percent of the spatial distribution in the Super Creative Class by place of work could be best explained by the share of the labor pool. On the other hand, 73 percent of distribution of Super Creative Class by place of residence could be explained by a more traditional human capital predictor. Since a key component of the Super Creative Class differs markedly by place of work and place of residence, it seems geography is a major factor in explaining the distribution of Super Creative Class in the GTA.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":39061,"journal":{"name":"City, Culture and Society","volume":"33 ","pages":"Article 100516"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41546814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study used over 700 responses collected between February and March 2018 in Seattle, Washington. The results revealed that ease of use, convenience, safety, pricing, and quality areas make a tremendous difference in the perception of dockless over docked bike-sharing systems. The perception of ease of use and convenience does not vary significantly across genders. On the other hand, male respondents were more aligned on the better pricing scheme and the bikes' quality than female respondents. Conversely, female respondents did care more about safety in terms of helmet use. Moreover, female respondents were more explicit in explaining the negative characteristics of the dockless bike-sharing system over docked ones.
