Residents of manufactured housing – in both urban and rural settings – are more likely than those in other housing types to need medical attention due to heat exposure at home. This study thus examines the drivers of residential thermal disparities for manufactured housing residents across the US. We use data from the 2020 Residential Energy Consumption Survey and 2021 American Housing Survey to more holistically assess thermal disparities for manufactured housing residents than previous studies. We do this by examining four potential drivers of thermal disparities: air conditioning (AC) access, AC functional use, cooling costs and underlying physical housing deficiencies that hinder cooling. Through a combination of descriptive statistics and multivariate regression modelling, we identify a connected but ranging set of drivers. First, manufactured housing residents have less central AC access and a much higher likelihood of AC equipment breakdowns. Around 10% of manufactured housing AC units break down in a given year, more than twice the frequency in other housing types. Second, while results are mixed regarding differences in cooling costs per square foot, households in manufactured housing experience the highest cooling costs as a share of their annual income of all major housing types. Lastly, manufactured housing has a greater combination of inadequate insulation and other physical deficiencies than other housing types. We discuss the implications of these concerning findings for policy and future research.","PeriodicalId":51350,"journal":{"name":"Urban Studies","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143745155","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}

England is an exemplar of this problem, with thousands of buildings requiring extensive remediation work to cladding systems and other areas. In many cases, this work will take place whilst homes are occupied. Although construction is an integral part of urban life, there has been little attention to the lived experience of building works. The article draws on interviews with 20 leaseholders in England affected by fire safety remediation works. The research highlights the unsettling of home as a safe, controllable, private sanctuary. First, home was disrupted by the sights and sounds of remediation work, the intrusion of noise and dirt and the shrouding of buildings in plastic sheeting. Then, workers with an orientation to the home as ‘building site’ eroded the boundaries of private space. Finally, a prolonged and unpredictable remediation process revealed the limited control of residents. The research draws attention to the neglected psychological costs of building works, revealing how a bundle of rights associated with ‘home’ are disrupted. The research has wider implications for the experience of ‘vertical’ building sites and the repair and retrofit of multi-storey buildings. Rather than a technical problem associated with building materials and construction, such work must draw on an understanding of home, foregrounding the experiences of residents.","PeriodicalId":51350,"journal":{"name":"Urban Studies","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143677508","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}

Yet in helpfully sounding the alarm, some scholars have risked obscuring the variegated ways that tech sector growth has been politicised and materialised in different places and times. To allow for greater attention to variety and the specificity of places, this article proposes that digital growth machines assemble, and are partly assembled by, cultural genres of growth that arise, stabilise and change in relation to the political and historical configurations of particular places. By tracing the changing politics of tech-led development in Mountain View, a small city in the heart of Silicon Valley that is home to the global headquarters of Google, the article argues that local growth machines have repeatedly shifted growth genres once an established genre had been problematised politically. During these moments of transition, growth coalitions dialogically assemble new genres of growth that they figure as a pragmatic and promising way to help remedy harms of previous growth. While shifting growth genres can help temporarily ease political tensions and allow digital growth machines to carry on, many of the problems stemming from industry expansion continue to worsen, thus setting the stage for future backlashes.","PeriodicalId":51350,"journal":{"name":"Urban Studies","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143695434","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}

Reducing floor space emerges as a key strategy for advancing sustainable urban development since larger homes typically consume more electricity and heating. However, there is an undeniable link between dwelling size and residential satisfaction, making it challenging to design homes that are both functional and appealing within limited spatial constraints. A solution to mitigate spatial limitations involves the implementation of shared facilities within residential complexes. While individual households maintain exclusive access to their units, they also benefit from amenities usually found in larger dwellings. Despite its potential, the concept of shared facilities has received limited attention in the urban housing literature. This study contributes to the literature by investigating the applicability of the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) in this unexplored context, involving an investment that carries considerable financial risk. Results demonstrate that our extended TPB model provides insights into homebuyers’ intentions to purchase dwellings with shared facilities. Out of the variables examined, attitudes emerge as the strongest predictor of intentions, indicating the need for collaborative efforts between developers and policymakers to bolster homebuyers’ interest in these unique housing solutions. The data reveals a tendency among homebuyers to compromise on dwelling size in favour of accessing amenities deemed essential for enhancing liveability. However, on the whole, homebuyers do not exhibit strong purchasing intentions, and attitudes towards the concept tend to be neutral.","PeriodicalId":51350,"journal":{"name":"Urban Studies","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143677510","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 article focuses on the latter, an externally initiated neighbourhood street festival in Trondheim, Norway. During this festival, temporary interventions and activities are implemented in public spaces to engage citizens in conversations on local urban development and enhance their sense of belonging to the area. Based on street interviews with neighbours and visitors at the festival and in-depth interviews with involved actors, we investigate what these actions contribute locally. We ask: How do neighbourhood-based festivals influence community engagement? How can we understand the organisation of such initiatives more conceptually? Our analysis suggests that the festival finds itself in a delicate balancing act between simulating a local initiative that does not exist and awakening a latent initiative locally by stimulating action. Based on this tension, we suggest a conceptual framework for neighbourhood initiatives relevant to research and practice in urban development and planning.","PeriodicalId":51350,"journal":{"name":"Urban Studies","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143695425","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}

However, researchers to date have not considered prosocial activities at crime hot spots, and how such activities compare to those at other streets in a city. We examine both antisocial and prosocial activities at crime hot spots and non-hot spots using unique quantitative and qualitative data collected in Baltimore City, Maryland, USA. We find, not surprisingly, that crime hot spots are places where antisocial activities such as adults loitering, people smoking tobacco, signs of drug activities and loud noise are much more common than on non-hot spot streets. However, we also find that crime hot spots evidence much higher levels of prosocial activities, including children playing outside, adults out on the street with their children or groups of adults socialising outside. These outcomes remain after taking into account a series of possible confounding factors. In concluding, we argue that scholars and practitioners need to reconsider how they imagine life at crime hot spots if they are to fully understand and prevent crime in urban areas. While crime and other antisocial activities tell part of the story at crime hot spots, it is not the whole story, and failing to recognise this hinders our ability to understand crime hot spots, as well as our efforts to improve them.","PeriodicalId":51350,"journal":{"name":"Urban Studies","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143640720","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}

While the existing literature has explored various elements of this trend, it has largely overlooked the perspectives of ordinary city dwellers on this process. This study explores city residents’ perceptions of the municipality’s role in promoting liberal policy agendas traditionally associated with the national level. Using an original survey conducted in Tel Aviv–Jaffa, Israel, we propose a novel typology that classifies residents as ‘Liberals’, ‘Municipalists’ or ‘Conservatives’ based on their local policy preferences. Our findings reveal a significant liberal group (28%) that prioritises municipal involvement in ‘big’ liberal issues over traditional municipal functions. This diverse group, which is pessimistic about the country’s future, supports progressive policies at the local level. The study also profiles the three groups in terms of socio-demographic variables and examines the factors influencing their attitudes. This research contributes to understanding the role that progressive municipalities assume in times of growing urban-national polarisation, offering insights and tools that might be applicable to other cities worldwide facing similar challenges.","PeriodicalId":51350,"journal":{"name":"Urban Studies","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143635670","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}
