Envisioning Healthy Soil Futures
Soil health is critical for healthy cities, yet little is known about how communities experience and address soil contamination. Contamination of soils can expose residents to heavy metals, which may have detrimental health effects. This study focuses on Buffalo, NY, using a mixed-methods approach to understand community experiences surrounding soil contaminants, planning, and policy. Findings reveal that spatial patterns of lead contaminants mir…
Infrastructural violence and urban development in African cities
State-mandated decentralized irrigation reforms
The prospects and challenges of decentralized irrigation governance reforms are widely discussed. Less discussed, however, is the institutional design of these reforms and how and why it matters to our diagnosis of their successes or otherwise.

Global South growth machines? A political-economic view of urban redevelopment and dispossessions in sub-Saharan Africa
The dynamics of urban redevelopment processes in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), especially around retail spaces, have gained currency among scholars.

We found that incentives for corrupt behaviors, structured by the particularities of planning …
