Moreover, Muslim-majority societies are often stereotypically perceived as being incompatible with gender equality and modernity. By focusing on the intersections of gender and ethnicity, this article argues that these women embody and represent regulatory enclosure and cosmopolitan identities simultaneously, necessitating continuous negotiations and contestations. They identify themselves as members of both the local and global Islamic communities, as well as modern, independent females in a cosmopolitan city. Through an exploration of their strategic creation of Islamic practices in response to different situations, this article sheds light on how the gendered, ethnicized body negotiates regulatory enclosure and cosmopolitanism, and how Islam is dynamically constituted and re-constituted locally in response to constantly evolving challenges.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":39061,"journal":{"name":"City, Culture and Society","volume":"36 ","pages":"Article 100564"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1877916623000632/pdfft?md5=378d370daf84b8997299ad8954d8e1b7&pid=1-s2.0-S1877916623000632-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138577474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on interviews conducted with young, middle-class, unmarried Muslim women, this paper demonstrates that Muslim women's lived experiences of religion and gender are often complex and situated at the intersections of embodied spatial practices of religion, gender and urban-ness. Predominant understanding of Indian Muslim women focuses on their gendered religious enactments such as <em>purdah</em> (veiling), oppression by Muslim men, and their need to be ‘rescued’ from Islamic systems of oppression. However, these narratives do not fully capture the complexity of Muslim women's embodied experiences and encounters with the urban. In turn, this paper investigates how Muslim women's experiences of the urban unfold at the interstices of gendered and religious geographies of the self, families/faith community, and the city in <em>everyday life</em> and <em>exceptional contexts</em>. I argue that the intersection of gender, religion and the city is nuanced, ad-hoc, and paradoxically shift and change within the historical socio-spatial urban context of Delhi.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":39061,"journal":{"name":"City, Culture and Society","volume":"36 ","pages":"Article 100563"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1877916623000620/pdfft?md5=e654021b81fbd8710a94e882f06712f3&pid=1-s2.0-S1877916623000620-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139090201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In many African countries, decentralized governance was adopted as a way of expanding grassroots participation and generating local resources for development without a consensus on ways to mobilize revenues by local governments. After over three decades of Ghana's decentralisation reforms, it is becoming apparent that local government units in strategic locations have peculiar advantages as well as challenges in mobilising local revenue. Using the Awutu-Senya East Municipal Area, this study explores the locational dynamics of Peri-urban municipalities in mobilising internally generated fund (IGF). The study adopted qualitative methods, including review of financial reports of the Municipal Assembly, interviews of key informants, officials of the finance department and revenue mobilisation unit; selected contracted revenue collectors and operators of local businesses. The study revealed locational influencers of revenue mobilisation to include increasing property values due to rapid peri-urban growth; upsurge of satellite businesses; creations of new municipal areas and leakages in internal revenue mobilisation, due to continuously changing boundaries. While the study resonates with emerging literature on local revenue mobilisation, it departs in its re-examination of geographical advantages and setbacks.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":39061,"journal":{"name":"City, Culture and Society","volume":"36 ","pages":"Article 100568"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1877916624000031/pdfft?md5=f311a3fa8aa94cb4b3ac06b5da763ac6&pid=1-s2.0-S1877916624000031-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139653763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These interventions include various activities in the built environment, such as street art, pop-up shops, urban festivals, gardening, and seasonal markets. This trend has garnered the attention of both scholars and policymakers due to its growing popularity. The academic literature often refers to these interventions as tactical urbanism (TU), pop-up urbanism, temporary urbanism, DIY urbanism, and guerrilla urbanism. This paper examines temporary urban interventions as urban catalysts to further explore their potential in enhancing urban spaces in a Middle Eastern context, focusing on Amman, Jordan. The study employs purposeful critical sampling, semi-structured interviews, and the Urban Catalyst model to identify and categorize the implementation mechanisms of several interventions into tactics and strategies. The research findings suggest a potential outline for strategic and tactical implementation approaches that may support the understanding of the interventions by practitioners, policymakers, and tacticians. The study concludes by highlighting actions that actors can take to manage, experiment with, and utilize tactical and temporary interventions in Amman.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":39061,"journal":{"name":"City, Culture and Society","volume":"35 ","pages":"Article 100549"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"92101325","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, increasing demand in cities to redevelop larger scale urban historic sites requires new strategies to benefit from their inherent values. This paper focuses on strategies of regeneration for historic urban sites. The paper presents a systematic literature review of 45 papers, with case studies geographically concentrated in Europe and Asia, and a focus on residential, commercial, and industrial areas. From the case studies, 46 different regeneration strategies have been deduced. The various strategies are, via content analysis, dissected into a select number of drivers to find commonalities. These key drivers are user participation, top-down, genius loci, sustainability, and conversion. Based on the reflections of the reviewed authors, a performance evaluation assesses the outcomes of these strategies. Further data analysis is conducted at the level of individual drivers as well as their combinations to deduce the most positive-evaluated strategies. Findings show that genius loci contributes to the most positive-evaluated strategies, while top-down driven strategies contribute to the most negative-evaluated strategies. Furthermore, strategies are assessed positively when three or more drivers are considered regardless of their combination. This paper acts as a starting point for further research into the formation of regeneration strategies and into the specific drivers and their combinations or underlying relations. Moreover, it can be of contribution to the practice, to support decision makers and urban planners in developing the appropriate regeneration strategy for historic urban sites.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":39061,"journal":{"name":"City, Culture and Society","volume":"35 ","pages":"Article 100539"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50197277","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}

Much of the focus of municipalities has been on how infrastructure can enable just and sustainable urban transitions, and we argue that heritage, seen as a core socio-cultural, material and metaphysical infrastructure, can play a role in this too. The value of working collectively, collaborating inclusively, and co-producing constructively, is now widely accepted as useful tactics for approaching policy making and implementation in local contexts. This article reflects on our (the authors) collaboration, paying particular attention to the co-production of a policy framing note entitled ‘Heritage sustainability and urban development: Valuing tangible and intangible heritage as drivers of placemaking’. We argue that there is a necessary and urgent shift from heritage protection and conservation to heritage justice located within a ‘southerning’ and intersectional feminist approach to action-oriented scholarship. We reflect on our approach to collaboration as deploying caring and care-full tactics of official activism within the City of Cape Town. Ultimately, we propose that these qualities of coproduction, rooted in a shared politics of heritage-based urban justice and sustainability can strengthen how heritage can be mobilized for action in municipalities.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":39061,"journal":{"name":"City, Culture and Society","volume":"35 ","pages":"Article 100551"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"92101323","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}
