Six distinct types of overtime workers were identified, with marked occupational and spatial differences, particularly concentrated in high-tech, logistics, and financial zones.

In this review, property regimes are understood in an extended sense: not only as legal-institutional frameworks, but as multi-scalar systems through which property rights are allocated and exercised via context-specific property arrangements. While existing scholarship has addressed urban transformation and property institutions separately, few studies have systematically integrated these domains through a unified analytical lens. Anchored in the conceptual tension between politico-economic sanction and social entitlement, the review reconceptualizes urban property regimes through three types of cross-scalar institutional frictions: (1) Transformation—between legal clarity and historical ambiguity; (2) Instrument—between capital efficiency and socio-spatial dispossession; and (3) Indicator—between top-down redevelopment rationales and bottom-up claims for justice. Within the Indicator dimension, the review introduces the concept of Property Inclusiveness as a normative-evaluative lens for diagnosing exclusionary redevelopment practices and envisioning more equitable institutional pathways. To formalize these insights, the study constructs a Cross-Scalar Friction Matrix, a novel analytical tool for mapping how institutional frictions unfold vertically across scales. By integrating fragmented literatures and repositioning Global South practices as sources of theoretical innovation rather than contextual exceptions, this review advances a more adaptive and scale-sensitive understanding of property regimes in urban redevelopment. It calls for future research to explore how institutional adaptability and digital co-governance tools can be embedded into formal structures to reconcile capital logic with spatial justice.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48376,"journal":{"name":"Habitat International","volume":"167 ","pages":"Article 103652"},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145467749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To improve such a situation, this study combines the analysis of public opinion in social media to identify the public's demand for “cultural construction” and “community participation” in disaster response. Moreover, it also proposes a resilience assessment framework centered on cultural embeddedness, which embodies the concept of “people-centered” governance.

According to the data, a three-stage network DEA model covering the entire process of pre-disaster, disaster, and post-disaster is constructed to quantify the level of Community resilience. So that the indicator system is dynamically modified to enhance the adaptability of the national situation. Finally, through empirical research, the results show that cultural factors contribute significantly to the resilience of post-disaster recovery, indicating that cultural inputs and community identity play a key role in disaster governance.

For navigating the dual challenges of development and protection within territorial spatial planning and advance high-quality development of national space, this paper puts forth an innovative systematic framework for analysis by combining the territorial spatial planning with food–energy–water nexus (F-E-W Nexus), and designs an integration mechanism that harmonizes fixability and flexibility in territorial spatial planning.

Building on this, the interview data illustrate how tenants, property owners, and officials internalize these ideas, shaping distinct political subjectivities that render certain claims and actions invisible.

Both cities have witnessed increasing tensions between state-driven urban planning initiatives and the everyday spatial practices of informal street traders, who rely on public spaces for their livelihoods. We argue that the spatial rationalities of urban officials in both cities fundamentally clash with the spatial practices and survival strategies of street traders. Urban authorities view spatial formalization as a governing technology aimed at exerting control over urban space, often justifying it through discourses of order, modernity, and economic development. This logic aligns with broader efforts to sanitize and regulate public spaces, reinforcing exclusionary urban policies that seek to marginalize informal trade in favor of structured, state-sanctioned economic activities. However, from the perspective of street traders, these formalization efforts are experienced as acts of displacement, economic dispossession, and spatial exclusion. Traders contest these interventions by developing their own adaptive strategies, including informal negotiations with authorities, strategic mobility, and collective resistance. However, bold resistance to spatial formalization is more prominent in Kumasi compared to Harare due to different political environment. Our study contributes to scholarly discourse on the power dynamics, urban governance tensions, and the everyday struggles of informal workers in the face of state-imposed spatial formalization.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48376,"journal":{"name":"Habitat International","volume":"167 ","pages":"Article 103632"},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145365661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
