Our analysis shows that blocks featuring murals experience significant increases in pedestrian activity, household income, rents, and housing values, signaling process of both revitalization and gentrification. Foot traffic is particularly high in mural-adorned areas when aligned with the <em>Main Street</em> model, which features a mix of housing, daily and recreational commerce, small businesses, and historic buildings within a walkable streetscape. Multivariate regression confirms a significant, positive association between murals and foot traffic, even when controlling for demographic factors. While the relationship between murals and overall crime reduction is statistically weaker, we observe a notable decrease in violent crime when murals coexist with commercial clusters. These findings underscore the role of murals in placemaking and suggest opportunities for collaboration among artists, small businesses, and residents. We recommend that policymakers link mural initiatives with affordable housing and long-term employment strategies to support inclusive growth and community stability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48405,"journal":{"name":"Cities","volume":"165 ","pages":"Article 106085"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144138109","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}

Public behavior patterns shifted from pre-disaster instrumental aid to fear-driven avoidance coupled with emotional aid arising during crises, eventually evolving into intensified post-disaster resource competition. Government strategies show asymmetric impacts on these behaviors. Most strategies yielded instantly positive effects on SSO, while all strategies responded passively to HSK and some had time-lag or limited effects in mitigating A&V and DEV. The findings advocate integrating psychosocial factors into emergency strategies, with emphases on prioritizing proactive community engagement to sustain social cohesion, embedding psychological support mechanisms, and enforcing transparent resource governance to redirect emotions like fear, anger, and sadness.

Drawing on interviews with AVs industry participants, the findings are categorised into three interrelated themes: (1) hard infrastructure, (2) soft infrastructure, and (3) future infrastructure development. First, hard infrastructure highlights the complexities of urban environments and AVs difficulty in predicting road users' movements. Second, soft infrastructure reveals that connectivity standardisation could enhance AVs communication, yet coverage inconsistencies may disrupt AVs Over-The-Air (OTA) updates. The findings also show how the AVs industry is perceived as ‘owners’ of AVs personal user data, raising ethical concerns around monetisation and surveillance. Third, future infrastructure development could help facilitate AV deployment, particularly through greater collaboration between and across the tech-industry, government, ‘ethical hackers’, and the use of techniques like ‘network slicing’. This paper concludes that while achieving driving autonomy is complex, deploying AVs in limited urban settings (e.g., shuttle services) offers opportunities to incrementally learn from real-world conditions. Overall, this paper responds to controversial and underexplored questions around AVs data ownership, industry use of personal data, infrastructure resilience, and government-industry collaboration for AV-ready cities. This paper contributes to the mobilities paradigm by extending our understanding of the unintended technological consequences of AVs uptake, and offers context-specific insights for policymakers, urban planners, and the industry to better understand the barriers and opportunities towards AVs implementation in future cities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48405,"journal":{"name":"Cities","volume":"165 ","pages":"Article 106098"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144138107","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 local climate zone framework for assessing urban heat islands is widely used in urban resilience and development assessments because of its simple and readable standardized building types, and it shows great potential for urban heat risk identification. Although some studies have been conducted on heat risk maps based on the LCZ framework, its applicability to heat risk assessment in coastal cities requires further validation. In this study, we employed machine learning and the Hazard-Exposure-Vulnerability- Adaptability system to generate LCZ and heat risk maps for the main urban area of Dalian. On the basis of the improved LCZ map, the applicability of the LCZ framework in characterizing urban heat risk in coastal cities and its influencing factors were explored. The results show that the LCZ-based heat risk distribution was significantly influenced by the unique mountain and sea pattern of Dalian, the type of LCZ for heat risk extremes varied among cities, and the LCZ framework cannot directly characterize urban heat risk. Secondly, the three-dimensional LCZ data has the potential to replace LST data as a heat hazard indicator for heat risk assessment. The study suggests that scientists should be cautious when using LCZs to assess the heat risk of a city or region, and that cities with complex topography should give due consideration to natural geographic indicators. Additionally, the LCZ map drawn at the block scale enhances the comprehensibility of climate risk responses for urban planners and provide a more targeted reference for future urban regeneration and climate planning.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48405,"journal":{"name":"Cities","volume":"164 ","pages":"Article 106068"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144108091","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}

Using structural equation modeling, the study analyzes data from 505 residents in regenerated settlements in Chongqing, China, to examine how these factors affect three types of participation behavior: expressing opinions, burdening funds, and acquiring information. Through hierarchical K-means clustering, respondents were classified into temperate, positive, and radicalized personality groups to explore how personality traits shape behavior mechanisms. It reveals that psychological and social practice factors have varying effects across different types of participation behavior.

Most of these makeshifts which are constructed on idle site unsuitable for long-term housing development are removed after a stipulated period for the site to be used for other purposes. With the growing supply of these short-term housing and potential increase in construction and demolition (C&D) waste, circular economy (CE) becomes necessary for waste reduction and material recovery for relocation and reconstruction. However, studies on drivers for circularity in transitional housing are limited. An institutional change is crucial to end the prevailing institutional structure of the linear economy, characterised by demolition, for CE implementation. Underpinned by the institutional theory framework, a comprehensive literature review and questionnaire survey were conducted to identify the institutional drivers for circular transitional housing. Findings of the study revealed highly rated common and significantly different regulative, normative and cultural-cognitive CE drivers. The findings complement extant literature in addition to apprising policymakers of a combined top-down (strategic) and bottom-up (tactical) drivers for circularity in residential facilities that serve as stopgaps. This could enable policymakers and practitioners to accelerate CE adoption in transitional housing and general construction projects. Beyond Hong Kong, the findings are relevant to international organizations to facilitate circular transitional housing markets or strategies in countries that are prone to natural disasters or in case of emergency to provide short-term shelter for vulnerable individuals, with less C&D waste generation during and after construction and deconstruction of such facilities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48405,"journal":{"name":"Cities","volume":"164 ","pages":"Article 106067"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144108070","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}

Towards this end, this research compares how two major urban planning participation tools play out in a Tokyo suburb: the traditional approach of mapping via face-to-face interviews and an internet-based approach that relies on Location-Based Social Networks (LSBNs). We evaluate the contextual effectiveness of these tools in capturing the nuances of community attachment in Minamiashigara, a suburban municipality in the west of Tokyo. The results indicate that interviews and LBSNs offer complementary insights: interviews help to visualize localized, subjective experiences, while LBSNs provide much broader geographical coverage and scale for the time invested.
