Traditional regression models used in existing studies often fail to capture the nonlinear, and interaction effects of TOD on housing rents. This study addresses these limitations by applying the eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) algorithm combined with Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) analysis to evaluate the effects of TOD on housing rents within Wuhan's Third Ring Road. Our approach not only identifies key TOD factors such as overall walkability, parking lot density, and commercial density but also uncovers significant nonlinear and threshold effects on housing rents. Moreover, we reveal the intricate interaction effects among key TOD variables, demonstrating how the local impact of one factor can be amplified or diminished by changes in another. This study provides novel insights into the complex mechanisms of TOD impacts on housing rents and offers actionable guidance for crafting targeted urban development strategies that promote urban equity and foster a sustainable housing market.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48405,"journal":{"name":"Cities","volume":"158 ","pages":"Article 105728"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143093439","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}

In the transportation realm, ICT-powered platforms, such as sharing bikes, car sharing, and ridesharing are transforming the traditional system into a smart multi-modal system. It is generally considered that those platforms are supplementary to the existing ones. As numerous studies identified transportation inequality in the traditional system, few studies have been conducted to reveal empirical evidence on how new forms of transportation powered by smart technology changed transport equity. To fill these knowledge gaps, this study uses the case of the shared bike system in Shenzhen, to examine whether technology reshapes distributive equity in public transport resource allocation. It utilizes a fine-grained dataset that includes shared bicycle trajectories, demographic information, road network geography, Points of Interest (POI), and housing prices to explore potential disparities in transport technology usage among communities. The finding shows that citizens with structural vulnerability face more challenges accessing public transportation facilities and are stuck in a “transport desert”. In addition, they benefit less than the wealthier from smart transportation technology. Further, we conducted interviews to investigate the institutional factors of inequality consequence, including legitimacy and support, public value, and operational capacities. This study contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence that the sharing economy, as a supplementary transport mode, further exacerbates the inequality embedded in the transport system. It calls for attention to the behavioral and institutional reasons that cause the additive effect of transport poverty as a result of the introduction of new transport modes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48405,"journal":{"name":"Cities","volume":"158 ","pages":"Article 105706"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143093427","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}

This paper features degrowth as one such alternative. It proposes a degrowth agenda on urban green spaces, drawing on various ideas that oppose neoliberal governance. It calls for the repoliticisation and decolonisation of green spaces and a broader political commitment to creating a good place for all. This agenda revolves around three aspects and suggests ensuring equitable opportunities to benefit from green spaces for all urban inhabitants. (1) Co-production rather than production: conviviality, care, and commons promote egalitarian opportunities to join greening efforts.

The study employs regression, hierarchical multiple regression (HMR), and discriminant function analysis (DFA) to assess the impact of various university dimensions (demand, human capital, innovation, knowledge production, collaboration) on development levels, growth rates, and interregional convergence. Findings reveal a positive association between universities and regional progress, driven by factors like student enrolment, faculty size, expenditures, and graduate skillsets. University-related innovation exhibits regional variations, with established regions experiencing lower growth despite stronger innovation ecosystems. However, new firms emerging from knowledge spillovers stimulate both development and growth. While “triple helix” or “quadruple helix” cooperation contributes to development, the increase in the number and amount of cooperation does not meaningfully support growth. Discriminant analysis suggests universities promote convergence, with increases in demand, human capital, and knowledge diffusion, enabling underdeveloped regions to catch up. This research, employing a comprehensive spatiotemporal framework, contributes to regional development scholarship by analysing universities' role in convergence. Limitations include data restrictions and a cross-sectional focus. Future research avenues include university quality classification and cross-country comparisons.

Results indicated that the support from elderly people is relatively lower, while the income, higher education level, and male respondents are associated with increased support. Furthermore, democrats and other conservatives are less likely to support the ideology, while liberals are more likely. Furthermore, a combination of scenarios indicates that most support for this idea comes from non-elderly people, with income producing the largest difference, followed by education level. On the contrary, non-elderly conservatives showed the largest level of resistance.

Traditional address systems, although foundational to urban organization, are increasingly inadequate in meeting the demands of dynamic and evolving urban environments.

Specifically, the research focuses on (1) providing precise spatial address assignments, (2) mitigating the social challenges arising from the pervasive use of address data, and (3) optimizing the structure of address-information systems within a smart city paradigm. In response to these challenges, we propose a novel geospatial blockchain model that incorporates an optimized geohash grid, designed to enhance both the accuracy and security of address management. Central to this model is the concept of the Address of Space (AoS)<strong>,</strong> which offers a solution for assigning addresses to previously unaddressed urban entities, such as land parcels and dynamic objects, including moving vehicles (e.g., food trucks) and stationary but frequently relocated indoor assets (e.g., AED units). The study's findings validate the efficacy of the proposed framework, highlighting its potential to revolutionize the management of address data, improving both its precision and security. By bridging the gap between physical and digital address systems, this research paves the way for more secure, efficient, and scalable addressing solutions in the era of smart cities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48405,"journal":{"name":"Cities","volume":"159 ","pages":"Article 105757"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143157023","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}

The availability of data on bank card transactions opens new avenues in the study of the night-time economy by providing information on night-time spending in city establishments. This article explores the spatial and temporal patterns of night-time spending by combining different data sources -bank transaction data, mobile phone data, social networks, cadastral records, etc.-, taking the city of Madrid as the study area. The results reveal that night-time spending in establishments in the city of Madrid is equivalent to approximately 30 % of total spending. They also show that the spatial concentration of night-time spending increases as the night progresses, and that the structure of spending is much more diversified in the evening than at dinner time and late at night. Explanatory models (Ordinary Least Squares and Random Forest regression) show that variables related to bars and restaurants, retail area, popularity of establishments, and tourist accommodations have strong explanatory power over the spatial distribution of night-time spending.

The review reveals four key rationales for applying HCD in cities (the why): improving public administration, enhancing citizen participation, driving social change, and prioritizing user-centeredness. Additionally, the review provides a deeper understanding of the impact and scalability of these design practices by identifying four main types of design deliverables typically employed in urban HCD initiatives (the how): product design, design proposals, design frameworks, and process redesigns. These problem-solving processes in cities are illustrated through the Double Diamond model. Although a promising approach, cities have struggled to institutionalize HCD in their everyday work routines.
