Using the Operational Programme COMPETE and the ‘Productive Innovation’ instrument as empirical setting, it examines the effects of business innovation funds on key business indicators of growth, performance and innovation. The research employs Difference-in-Differences (DiD) and Propensity Score Matching methodologies…
Evidence, alliances and technical co-production
Cycling activist initiatives build leadership and routines that sustain credibility across political cycles. • Professionalised activist associations gain access to urban transport planning processes, but they also face new bureaucratic demands. • Data functions as a pedagogical tool, making cycling patterns legible—and harder to ignore. • Alliances with universities and civil society groups translate activism into policy influence. • Upscaling i…
Exceptions to Urban Reconversion
This article explores the persistent exclusion of certain informal settlements in Portugal from legal urban recognition, focusing on areas characterized by both historical informality and current legal invisibility, here termed by “doubly marginal”. Despite the existence of legal frameworks aimed at integrating Informally Originated Urban Areas (AUGIs), a significant number remain outside the scope of regularization, revealing deep-rooted structu…
Can more housing supply improve affordability? A subnational perspective from Portugal
We investigate the impact of housing supply on affordability in rapidly appreciating subnational markets in Portugal. Our spatial econometric model confirms a negative relation between housing stock and prices, yet predicts that, on average, maintaining the construction pace of the 2000s would lower prices by only 3%, while doubling it would bring a 6% reduction. We also find significant price impacts from short-term rentals and international dem…
Institutional strengthening for rapid response
This paper examines the 2024 floods in Rio Grande do Sul as a pivotal test of Brazil's social protection system, revealing both notable advancements and critical challenges. The system demonstrated its capacity to scale programs rapidly, mobilize resources efficiently, and implement adaptive measures, reflecting significant progress toward a more resilient and inclusive framework. However, persistent gaps in disaster risk data integration, databa…
Life-changing minutes
Cancer is one of the most important societal challenges in the world, with over 23 million new cases/year and 10 million deaths/year, that will only be properly tackled with a stronger focus on prevention. This calls for an informed population, aware of risk factors and willing to adopt preventive behaviors and early cancer screenings. For that purpose, 2’ Life-changing minutes was created, the first ever televised Entertainment-Education series …
Development and process evaluation of a new entertainment-education TV series for cancer prevention in Portugal
Cancer is a primary societal challenge worldwide, with over 23 million new cases/year, and 10 million deaths/year. Estimates of preventable cancer deaths rise as high as 70%, but such estimates rely heavily on individual behaviors, which in turn are correlated with knowledge and attitudes towards health and cancer. This paper describes the iterative evidence-based development of the first entertainment-education series on cancer prevention to be …
Carbon, indoor air, energy and financial benefits of coupled ventilation upgrade and enhanced rooftop garden installation
Building energy use contributes to urban carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions while inadequate ventilation can yield indoor CO2 build up from human respiration. However, increasing ventilation rates can add to energy costs and climate burdens. Our objective was to quantify changes in emissions, energy, and financial cost when rooftop garden and ventilation upgrades are done simultaneously, with an opportunity to enhance plant growth from exhausted CO2.…

Are peripheral regions in troubled waters for sustainability transitions? A systematic analysis of the literature
While the role of cities and regions is increasingly acknowledged for climate action and discussed in the literature on sustainability transitions, the specific condition of peripheral regions has received less attention. This article develops a bibliometric review to shed light and discuss how the (multi-dimensional) notion of periphery has been conceived and implicitly declinate in different literature streams studying low-carbon sustainability…
A perspective on the future of sustainability transitions research
The journal Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions (EIST) recently celebrated its tenth anniversary. Its development represents a great success, contributing substantially to the consolidation and maturation of the research field of sustainability transitions. However, being content with past successes will not be sufficient for tackling emerging challenges. In this perspective paper, we take stock of recent dynamics in the field by an…
The entrepreneurial ecosystem of cultural and creative industries in Porto
It is still a matter of dispute whether entrepreneurial ecosystem (EE) frameworks can be confined to a single industry in isolation, let alone whether such a sub‐ecosystem approach can be employed in a domain that is distinct from the high‐growth industries usually scrutinised in the literature. This article seeks to apply a systemic and dynamic EE perspective to the development of cultural and creative industries (CCIs) within an urban context, …
Design research to support ongoingness
This article details the development of a live design research project working with people who are bereaved, people who are living with dementia and people who are approaching end of life. The project aims to support people to continue bonds with others in anticipation of and following death. It centres on the idea of ongoingness and using art, design and digital technologies in gentle, personally meaningful ways
Shifting Geographies of Knowledge Production
This research note analyses the evolving geographies of coronavirus disease research before and during the first three months of the 2020 epidemic outbreak. An examination of global networks of scientific co‐production highlights the increasing centrality and knowledge intermediation profile of Chinese organisations. It is argued that it is important to understand these global geographies and networks, as they may signal varying (and cumulative) …
Sofia Pomba Guerra
This article deals with the intervention of Sofia Pomba Guerra in the Mozambican press in the 1930s, through the newspapers O Emancipador and Notcias. It was the beginning of the activism course that would lead her later to take a leading role in the opposition to Salazar's dictatorship in Mozambique and Portuguese Guinea, and to provide an important support to the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC). Active agent …
Gentrification in Porto
The heightening scale of urban tourism and the fast-growing number of “floating” city users raise new challenges to understand contemporary urban change – namely for internationally open, heritage-rich medium-sized cities. Discussing the case of Porto at a time when the contested notion of gentrification infuses local politics, we highlight the transnational drivers of this process in Portugal ́s second city. While acknowledging perils and benefi…
Bayesian Inference on Dynamic Linear Models of Day-to-Day Origin-Destination Flows in Transportation Networks
Estimation of origin–destination (OD) demand plays a key role in successful transportation studies. In this paper, we consider the estimation of time-varying day-to-day OD flows given data on traffic volumes in a transportation network for a sequence of days. We propose a dynamic linear model (DLM) in order to represent the stochastic evolution of OD flows over time. DLMs are Bayesian state-space models which can capture non-stationarity. We take…
Biotech by bricolage? Agency, institutional relatedness and new path development in peripheral regions
This article develops a framework to understand new industrial path development in peripheral regions based on notions of ‘bricolage’ and ‘institutional relatedness’. While the first stresses the agency of (heterogeneous) actors’ resourcefulness and strategic improvisation co-shaping new industrial paths, the latter highlights the transposition of related institutional settings within regions to amplify (or to limit) the search space for new indu…
Knowledge, policymaking, and learning for European cities and regions. From research to practice
This book sets out to understand the processes through which policymakers – namely in cities and regions – acquire and renew relevant knowledge that influences their actions. The focus is on how sc
Tropical forests are a net carbon source based on aboveground measurements of gain and loss
Forests out of balance Are tropical forests a net source or net sink of atmospheric carbon dioxide? As fundamental a question as that is, there still is no agreement about the answer, with different studies suggesting that it is anything from a sizable sink to a modest source. Baccini et al. used 12 years of MODIS satellite data to determine how the aboveground carbon density of woody, live vegetation has changed throughout the entire tropics on …
Urbanize or Perish? Assessing the Urbanization of Knowledge Locations in Europe
This paper explores the drivers behind a recent “urban turn” of planned knowledge locations in Europe. While acknowledging a general tendency towards more urbanity, we argue that a dense and diverse urban environment is not equally relevant for all types of knowledge-based activities because of nuanced workers’ preferences and innovation modes. Based on a theory “considering different types of knowledge bases”, we suggest that activities that mor…

Smart cities from scratch? A socio-technical perspective
This paper argues that contemporary smart city visions based on ITs (information and tele- communication technologies) configure complex socio-technical challenges that can benefit from strategic niche management to foster two key processes: technological learning and societal embedding. Moreover, it studies the extent to which those processes started to unfold in two paradigmatic cases of smart city pilots ‘from scratch’: Songdo (South Korea) an…
Knowledge Sourcing, Knowledge Bases, and the Spatial Organisation of Car Design
This paper analyses the geographical implications of having different types of knowledge bases-synthetic and symbolic-involved in one single but complex innovation process: car design. To do so, we investigated three contrasting car design strategies (Audi, Renault, and SAIC-GM) with the aim of exploring empirical regularities and the reasons underlying the links between knowledge bases, knowledge sourcing mechanisms, and resulting spatial config…

Four challenges for a new science and technology park
Science and technology parks are investments primarily focused on achieving economic and innovation outcomes, but may also serve urban and perception change objectives. Inaugurated in the autumn of 2008, the new science and technology park in Guimarães – AvePark – carries opportunities for regional economic diversification, but brings challenges calling for innovative and integrated policymaking, multi-layered regional governance and proactive ma…
Urban Competitiveness, U-City Strategies and the Development of Technological Niches in Songdo, South Korea
This chapter is concerned with the recursive conflation between the concept of city competitiveness in ICT and different versions of the “knowledge city” concept based on ICT and digitalization, often responsible for ambiguous political discourses and unclear local economic development strategies. To overcome this problem, the chapter distinguishes both concepts, indentifies links between them and illustrates a way through which national and loca…

Developing creative quarters in cities
Many cities invest in creative quarters, cultural clusters or design cities to support their creative industries. The development of such areas is far from easy, and success stories coexist with failures. This article reviews the case of Arabianranta in Helsinki, in order to gain insight into its critical success factors that, when properly contextualised, may help other cities to develop such locations. Although an important part of its growth a…
Tensões e contradições na construção de futuros urbanos sustentáveis
O artigo aborda a (in)capacidade do plano em enfrentar as mudanças de um ocidente envolto numa transição civilizacional em que emerge uma revolução urbana. Para verificar essa (in)capacidade procedeu-se à confrontação entre um conjunto de planos para Lisboa e várias histórias de futuro construídas para essa cidade depois da transição, em 2030. Constata-se que, em relação a uma cidade de Lisboa depois da revolução urbana, o plano positivista – não…
