While research examining the impact of gun violence has focused on direct victimisation, exposure within residential communities experiencing gun violence is consequential. However, exposure is not a spatially bounded process, as residents spend significant time outside of their neighbourhoods and travel to neighbourhoods both near and far. As such, a more complete portrait of gun violence exposure must consider this higher-order, neighbourhood network. Using 2018–2019 mobile phone data from SafeGraph, I construct neighbourhood networks based on daily mobility flows for the 100 largest US metropolitan areas. I compare neighbourhood gun violence exposure in the residential neighbourhood, the neighbourhoods bordering the residential neighbourhood, and the non-residential and non-adjacent neighbourhoods visited by residents. I find that gun violence exposure is greater in visited neighbourhoods compared to home and adjacent neighbourhoods, most metro areas exhibit either greater or equal exposure in visited neighbourhoods relative to home neighbourhoods, Black neighbourhoods exhibit greater gun violence exposure across all scales, and segregation increases gun violence exposure in neighbourhood networks for Black, Hispanic and mixed racial/ethnic neighbourhoods.","PeriodicalId":51350,"journal":{"name":"Urban Studies","volume":"66 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143824851","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 political economy underpinning inner-city change, particularly the rent-gap mechanism, has been the predominant lens for analysing these processes. That is the case of the Santiago inner area, Chile, where a densification process tallying more than 600 dense high-rises has been widely studied. However, the question of who actually inhabits these towers remains unanswered. This article underscores the need to have a deeper understanding of the new urban residents in Latin America due to the profound changes in the social fabric, including the emergence of the ‘vulnerable-to-poverty’ class and the strong wave of intra-regional migration, which directly affects housing needs and preferences. To address this gap, I combine survey data from 1406 high-rise residents and in-depth interviews with building administrators to test the following hypothesis: the new high-rises are the residences of those who, despite overcoming poverty, still struggle to settle. To test this hypothesis, I characterise the high-rise residents according to their social class, level of economic insecurity and intergenerational social mobility. The results show a process of social diversification of Santiago’s inner-city residents. These buildings host residents who follow crossed-life trajectories. While some have moved up the social ladder, others have moved down, accessing these residential buildings via formal and informal strategies. And yet, regardless of this disparity in life trajectories, the unifying element of these new residents is their pervasive experience of economic insecurity.","PeriodicalId":51350,"journal":{"name":"Urban Studies","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143824845","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}

It offers a three-step assessment of the dynamics of low-carbon transition processes in the French capital region, Île-de-France. First, we present the orientations of the regional strategy, highlight the extent to which this strategy prioritises infrastructural developments and document the gap, especially in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, between stated ambitions and observed outcomes. Second, we foreground three main factors contributing to this gap: piecemeal infrastructural solutionism, unaddressed tensions in regional policies and overlooked dynamics of practices. Third, we argue that these shortfalls all derive to a large extent from variegated forms of depoliticisation. In the conclusion, we briefly discuss the implications of these findings for (a much-needed democratic repoliticisation of) environmental or sustainability policies more generally.","PeriodicalId":51350,"journal":{"name":"Urban Studies","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143824793","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}

Our thematic approaches are: (1) that urban density can catalyse illiberalism, from grassroots coalitions (e.g. neighbourhoods) to top-down urban governance (e.g. public/private management coalitions) and the dense ‘thrown-togetherness’ of daily urban life can intensify tension, instability, fear and antagonism; (2) the urban emergency and urban crises , entangled as they are within ongoing neoliberal urbanism, facilitate illiberal responses (e.g. crises as justifications for reactionary/authoritarian policies, laws and outcomes); and (3) the urban offers a speed and virality that fosters illiberalism (e.g. platform-driven urban processes and ‘fast policies’). We suggest that the speeding-up of urban processes, long a facet of industrial capitalism, has now entered a new phase which is simultaneously catalysed by illiberal entities and ideologies (e.g. the platformed-world building of ‘NRx urbanism’), but also lays the groundwork for illiberal responses, new surveillances and authoritarian intrusions into daily life. We weave these thematic windows together with selected examples of global urban happenings and recent episodes, including in the context during and post-COVID-19. We note the proliferation of globally circulating authoritarian tendencies in urban planning, urban governance and crisis management that point to an uncomfortable reality where the urban question may, inherently, be an illiberal one. Nonetheless, we conclude on an optimistic note that illiberal urban futures are still ripe for contestation.","PeriodicalId":51350,"journal":{"name":"Urban Studies","volume":"108 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143824847","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 corporate consolidation of rental housing and the profit-maximising practices pursued by corporate landlords have exacerbated pressures on tenants in the already hypercommodified housing sector. In response, some tenants have launched ‘multibuilding campaigns’ that exploit emerging oligopolies by harnessing collective power across buildings owned by the same corporate entity to force concessions and legislative change. Drawing on fieldwork carried out over 2022 and 2023, this article explores the potential of multibuilding organising through the Veritas Tenants Association’s rent debt strike against San Francisco’s largest landlord Veritas Investments, Inc., and the K3 Tenant Council’s campaign against K3 Holdings in Los Angeles. These struggles illustrate how the corporate landlord structure enables multibuilding organising – an ‘upward scale shift’ in both organising and tactics that shows potential to increase tenant leverage in the context of rental housing and state financialisation. They also demonstrate that, given the increasing entanglements between the state and financial markets, tenants are more likely to transform the terms and conditions of their housing through multibuilding organising than through reliance on the state as an intermediary. The article sheds light on how different levels of government simultaneously facilitate and internalise financialisation while introducing tactical and organising interventions to the burgeoning literature on corporate landlord contestation that suggest transformative potential.","PeriodicalId":51350,"journal":{"name":"Urban Studies","volume":"103 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143824846","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 historically white ‘old money’ Northern suburbs of Johannesburg remain an enclave of privilege where race, class and gender define the social production of space. Atop the roofs of apartment buildings in the suburbs of Killarney, Illovo and Rosebank lie ‘locations in the sky’: staff accommodation designed during Apartheid for live-in domestic workers. These structures illuminate how Apartheid spatial planning continues to shape the city and its power relations: the colonial legacy of domestic work in South Africa. Using a Lefebvrian lens, this study investigates experiences of ‘locations in the sky’, and how discrimination is enforced and experienced. Through 38 semi-structured interviews and a doctrinal legal analysis of 13 body corporate rules, various forms of discrimination are revealed. Domestic workers and residents of staff accommodation encounter physical and structural discrimination in terms of sub-par living conditions, as well as discriminatory rules. This discrimination is enforced through social power. Finally, an analysis of discrimination scenarios illustrates that discrimination is both written and enforced to varying degrees based on the unique context of each building. The findings contribute a spatial analysis of domestic work in the under-researched space of staff accommodation in apartment buildings. Documenting this discrimination provides a basis upon which to identify injustices, reevaluate rules and address discrimination, which should be of concern to apartment residents, bodies corporate, civil society organisations and urban planners as well as legislators.","PeriodicalId":51350,"journal":{"name":"Urban Studies","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143813446","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}

These newly produced subnational territories are worth further attention to clarify the underlying political dynamics of China's changing state space. This paper examines the Shenzhen-Shanwei Special Cooperation Zone in Guangdong and analyses the political-spatial processes through which a certain area of Shanwei has been transformed into the 'Eastern frontier of Shenzhen'. Looking into the relational power nexus that has also been inflected by trans-scalar and cross-boundary dynamics, as well as its manifestations in urban landscapes, we propose extended local territory as a key analytical concept to explore how and how far the rise of extensive territoriality has been articulated with intensive localities. Empirically, we elaborate on the ways in which the territorial ambition and authority of Shenzhen have been managing to traverse boundaries, while also recognising that Shenzhen's aspiration of materialising its extensive territoriality is challenged by both scalar constraints and the grassroots politics rooted in local history and geography. Addressing the dialectics between the extensive territoriality and intensive locality, we attend to the inter-topological effects and trace the patterns of correlation that are involved in this process, which also turns out to be a critical approach to better understanding changing state spaces in and beyond China.","PeriodicalId":51350,"journal":{"name":"Urban Studies","volume":"62 5","pages":"995-1014"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11937370/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143732861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Under this heading, we call for research into the intricate and often unpredictable processes of urban governance, from the formulation of general mitigation and adaptation goals to the implementation of concrete measures on the ground. While previous research on urban governance has focused primarily on political negotiations and alliance-building beforehand and on published plans after they are passed, we propose to put emphasis on the non-linear dynamics inherent in decision-making and implementation processes within city administrations. In this context, this commentary has two objectives: (1) we provide arguments for the need to (re-)focus attention on administrative processes in urban climate resilience and (2) we present a perspective that can be used to effectively study said processes. In contrast to widely used actor-oriented perspectives, our approach draws on insights from actor–network theory and integrates human and non-human actors to be studied. We illustrate our approach through an ethnographic study in the municipality of Augsburg, Germany, which serves to uncover the multiple processes of translation inherent in building urban climate resilience and to provide insights into the ways how bureaucrats shape and mediate the future of contemporary cities.","PeriodicalId":51350,"journal":{"name":"Urban Studies","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143745140","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, promoting new ways of generating, recovering, storing and distributing heat from unconventional sources is a complex urban governance task that overarches several infrastructure domains. This article explores the governance challenges of transitioning urban heating towards increasingly hybrid systems built on other infrastructure domains and in which networks at different temperatures and scales are combined with off-grid solutions. Building on critiques of techno-solutionism and its promise of seamless fixes for sustainability issues, we focus on the governance frameworks designed to support technological solutions. We argue that urban governance innovations such as the devolution of key responsibilities, multi-infrastructure coordination or urban experimentation follow similar logics of solutionist thinking that underestimate their socioeconomic, political and spatial dimensions. Empirically, we investigate Amsterdam’s transition towards a new generation of heating infrastructures based on nexuses with urban data, electricity, water, wastewater and waste infrastructures. These purported multi-infrastructural solutions have been promoted through collaborative planning efforts, local heat visions and experiments. However, we expose key limitations of current urban governance approaches: these partially overlook conflicts of interest, local resistance and the ambivalent spatial and socioeconomic impacts of heating transitions. Equally problematic are the weak European and national regulation and limited institutionalisation of district heating, with local stakeholders relying primarily on experimentation and voluntary collaboration.","PeriodicalId":51350,"journal":{"name":"Urban Studies","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143736587","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}
