This article draws on research in six cities (Shanghai, Nairobi, Paris, Casablanca, Salford and Rome) to discuss the changing relationship between housing, finance and the state through a global comparative perspective. It adopts an urban statecraft lens to examine affordable housing production as a site through which state actors engage with financialisation processes to different extents, leading to the reconfiguration of the state in the process. From this exploratory comparison, the paper identifies three dimensions of statecraft across which state-led affordable housing production can be analysed: state motivations to intervene; the forms of financial and institutional innovation adopted by policymakers; and strategies to redistribute and mitigate the risks associated with financialisation processes. In proposing these dimensions, the central contribution of the article is to establish an analytical framework for further empirical research on the uneven geographies of the global state-housing-finance nexus.","PeriodicalId":51350,"journal":{"name":"Urban Studies","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147682073","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 study takes sustainable urban development as the point of departure and adopts a broader spatial perspective. I investigate how housing construction and densification policies influence ongoing gentrification processes at a metropolitan scale in Oslo, Norway, and I argue that socio-economic changes induced by densification can be characterised as state-led new-build gentrification. The analysis draws on population-wide register data from 2004 to 2022, supplemented by a unique dataset on densification policies. From descriptive statistics, mapping, and fixed-effects regression analysis, my findings reveal three key points: First, market-rate housing construction has a significant gentrifying effect in affordable neighbourhoods, especially in the inner city. Second, policies for urban transformation strengthen the gentrifying effect of new housing and facilitate an outward diffusion of gentrification into inner suburbs. Third, directing market-rate residential developments toward central urban areas reinforces centralisation of affluence and suburbanisation of poverty. The article provides policy-relevant documentation on how compact urban growth policies, combined with neoliberal housing strategies, underpin gentrification in affordable neighbourhoods.","PeriodicalId":51350,"journal":{"name":"Urban Studies","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147682077","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 article draws on and contributes to scholarship on arts-based, collaborative methodologies, urban nature-cultures, and more-than-human temporalities. Having been used as common farmland, a garbage dump, and a shooting ground for the military, today Amager Commons is a high biodiversity zone, located close to central Copenhagen. Increasingly put to multiple recreational uses, the Commons is also subject to urban development. While spatial politics and planning initiatives enact the Commons on a linear timeline of preservation and development, our walks enabled explorations of the Commons’ multi-layered temporalities, shaped by emergent, heterogeneous ecologies. Engaging with creative writing, sensory ethnography, memory work and two unguided tours, we develop a multi-layered, porous and polyvocal methodology to foster reciprocity and socio-environmental care for urban ecologies. The article contributes to methodologies in urban studies and cultural geography, with a focus on temporalities, urban nature-cultures and commoning. We invite you, the reader, to venture into the text and immerse yourself in it as if walking in the Commons.","PeriodicalId":51350,"journal":{"name":"Urban Studies","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147641344","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}

Examining how infrastructure modulates air, temperature, and comfort, it develops the concept of hybrid urban socio-natures as spatial assemblages formed by climate control technologies that dissolve traditional distinctions between inside and outside. Drawing on political ecology, science and technology studies, and critical urban geography, the paper proposes a typology of three governance modes, reversion, extension and inversion, that reveal how cities selectively reorganise thermal boundaries. Through comparative analysis of New York, Toronto, Ahmedabad and Medellín, it demonstrates how comfort becomes an infrastructural capacity that is unevenly governed, creating new geographies of thermal privilege and exclusion. The paper contends that modulating the indoor–outdoor boundary is a distinct aspect of urban atmospheric governance, in which comfort and exposure are politically contested. The paper highlights this boundary as a domain of infrastructural and social struggle and opens new avenues for urban climate research, placing questions of comfort and thermal justice at the core of urban studies.","PeriodicalId":51350,"journal":{"name":"Urban Studies","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147641342","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}

They have also had a variety of negative impacts—neighborhood destruction, resource wars, ill health, and environmental damage to name a few—which are largely normalized in our collective psyches. Existing theories of the rise of the automobile are focused on macro-forces such as a globalizing political economy; while important, these fail to explain how local transportation policy has been leveraged by members of the general public to perpetuate an unjust system of automobility. This article argues that our existing beliefs about who has a right to exist in our public rights of way are socially constructed through an ideology of car supremacy. This ideology is used by private citizens in public meetings to prevent our streets from being safe, accessible, and equitable for all road users. Using existing literature and a critical discourse analysis of empirical data gathered from local public meetings, this article defines the core convictions of the ideology of car supremacy—moto monoculture, auto impunity, and modal marginalization—and demonstrates how individuals enact it in public discourse through three rhetorical devices—static scarcity, blame inversion, and nefarious minority—to create a modal hierarchy that marginalizes non-car users. Moreover, this article suggests how urban planners and policy makers can cultivate civic engagement practices that curtail the harmful system of power perpetuated by the ideology of car supremacy.","PeriodicalId":51350,"journal":{"name":"Urban Studies","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147641341","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 2022, Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine prompted discussions in many American urban governments about whether such partnerships should be continued. Some decision makers maintained ties. Others suspended or severed them entirely. This article uses role theory to examine how U.S. cities framed their choices in light of the expectations inherent to a “sister-city role.” The role requires a commitment to people-to-people interactions, communication, and the promotion of global peace, as well as a pledge not to let the actions of central governments—however objectionable they may be—affect sister-city relationships. Virtually all of the cities under investigation decided to openly criticize Moscow, therefore weakening one of the role’s expectations. The decision makers that maintained ties sought to reframe the role and reinforce commitment to people-to-people interactions. Those that suspended ties argued that the lack of communication and the impossibility of promoting global peace with Russian partners rendered the role unusable. These conversations occurred largely without any feedback or response from Russian sister-city partners. Since roles are relational and can be enacted when all relevant parties are in agreement, it remains an open question whether efforts at reframing expectations or open criticism of the invasion have altered the viability of U.S.-Russian sister-city relations in the future.","PeriodicalId":51350,"journal":{"name":"Urban Studies","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147635894","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}

At a time when a wide range of people struggle to find affordable and adequate housing in urban areas close to their places of work and learning, the housing question is no longer only an individual challenge but threatens to undermine the functioning of intricate urban economies and social ecologies. The lack of affordable housing has thus reached a point where employees have to search for housing in remote locations and deal with long commutes and, simultaneously, employers struggle to find skilled workers in urban areas. Here, employee housing could offer a forward-thinking solution. While the concept itself is not new, it has been overlooked for decades, leaving municipalities unprepared for the demand from employers and companies for housing as they try to attract skilled workers by offering a job with housing. We argue that these dynamics are not only timely in providing affordable housing in central locations and ensuring economic and social stability in urban areas, but also in possibly tackling questions of sustainability by reducing commuting and car traffic while strengthening walking, cycling, and public transport in cities. By integrating residential and business zones, employee housing could become a tool in tackling questions of social, economic, and ecological resilience. The goal of this article is thus to start a debate about the potential and risks of employee housing in the 21st century and invite fellow researchers to join.","PeriodicalId":51350,"journal":{"name":"Urban Studies","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147635891","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}
