The Effects of a Place-Based Intervention on Resident Reporting of Crime and Service Needs
Prior research has found that reporting of crime incidents and service needs remain low in many U.S. cities. This study employs a matching strategy using observational data from a large public repository to generate effect estimates of a place-based intervention in Buffalo, NY on crime incidents and calls for service. Matching is conducted using matching frontier with an energy-distance balance metric, which allows for fine managing of the balanc…
The Impact of City-Led Neighborhood Action on the Coproduction of Neighborhood Quality and Safety in Buffalo, NY
Creating and sustaining safe, healthy urban environments requires active collaboration between residents and local governments. Public safety and the upkeep of public spaces depend, in a large part, on residents' reports of crime and service needs. However, in underserved areas, factors such as urban decay, inadequate public services, and concentrated disadvantage have weakened these cooperative dynamics. This breakdown can exacerbate the underre…
The Data-Informed City
Over the last decades, scholars and practitioners have focused their attention on the use of data for improving public action, with a renewed interest in the emergence of big data and artificial intelligence. The potential of data is particularly salient in cities, where vast amounts of data are being generated from traditional and novel sources. Despite this growing interest, there is a need for a conceptual and operational understanding of the …
Cross-sector collaboration in cities
The success of cross-sector collaborations (CSCs) in cities is mixed, and important questions remain about what distinguishes effective from ineffective collaborations. This comparative case study examined nine CSCs in three US cities, focusing on three public policy areas: education, economic development, and public safety. Nine group interviews, 110 individual interviews, and analysis of archival documents revealed common patterns that allow us…
An Exploratory Study of Mayoral Transition Work
A new mayor's transition period is widely regarded as important to their overall success, yet mayoral transitions have received little research attention. This exploratory, mixed‐method study of 15 newly elected U.S. mayors combines primary survey data of time use with two waves of mayoral interviews to illuminate the nature and purposes of mayoral activities during the transition period. Analyses of the survey data suggest that mayors' activitie…
Substandard housing and the risk of Covid-19 infection and disease severity
In this study we examine associations between substandard housing and the risk of COVID-19 infection and severity during the first year of the pandemic by linking individual-level housing and clinical datasets. Residents of Chelsea, Massachusetts who were tested for COVID-19 at any Mass General Brigham testing site and who lived at a property that had received a city housing inspection were included (N = 2873). Chelsea is a densely populated city…
Tackling Persistent, Boundary-Spanning Problems Through Collaborative Innovation
To tackle persistent boundary-spanning problems with limited resources, some cities engage in collaborative innovation, combining expertise, effort, and creativity within and outside city hall to overcome limitations of conventional practices and siloed work. This article illustrates how collaborative innovation works in practice by examining specifics of how the Buffalo Clean Sweep Initiative, unique in longevity, scope, and scale, overcame comm…
Inter‐city collaboration
City governments are at the forefront of public problem‐solving. As they deliver services to residents and work to tackle complex social challenges, they often coordinate and communicate with each other. Against the backdrop of globalisation and urbanisation, which have been documented and analysed widely, the phenomenon of inter‐city collaboration (ICC) has remained understudied. In this article, we examine existing and emergent patterns of how …
Use of smartphone mobility data to analyze city park visits during the Covid-19 pandemic
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic focused attention on city parks as important public resources. However, monitoring park use over time poses practical challenges. Thus, pandemic-related trends are unknown. Methods: We analyzed monthly mobility data from a large panel of smartphone devices, to assess park visits from January 2018 to November 2020 in the 50 largest U.S. cities. Results: In our sample of 11,890 city parks, visits declined by 36.0…
A tale of two Americas
We examine differences in mobility outcomes between residents of highest and lowest socio-economic index (SEI) at the Census block group (CBG) level in nine major US cities prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic. While low-SEI groups generally traveled shorter distances but visited more city-wide CBGs before the pandemic, high-SEI residents universally reduced their mobility to a greater extent during the pandemic. Although high-SEI residents …

Further Inspection
As a result of working inside homes, city housing inspectors witness hidden and serious threats to public health. However, systems to respond to the range of problems they encounter are lacking. In this study, we describe the impact and enabling environment for integrating a novel Social Service Referral Program within the Inspectional Services Department in Chelsea, MA. To evaluate the first eight months of the program, we used a mixed-methods a…

Designing environments for experimentation, learning and innovation in public policy and governance
There has been much debate about the contribution of ‘design thinking’ to the fields of public policy and governance. This article makes an empirical contribution to this debate by examining the Organised Crime Field Lab – an environment for experimenting with, learning about and innovating in collaborative governance. The study involved working with 18 different multi-agency collaborations involving over 160 professionals as they developed novel…
State Capabilities for Problem-Oriented Governance
Governments around the world are increasingly recognizing the power of problem-oriented governance as a way to address complex public problems. As an approach to policy design and implementation, problem-oriented governance radically emphasizes the need for organizations to continuously learn and adapt. Scholars of public management, public administration, policy studies, international development, and political science have made important contri…
Evidence‐Based Prevention of Organized Crime
Lake Taupo
This paper explores the motivations for and processes of a unique multi-stakeholder collaboration aimed at the long-term sustainable development of a region. The region is that of Australasia's largest lake, Lake Taupo, New Zealand. Lake Taupo has geographic features that have not only enabled the development of a strong economy based on tourism, forestry and agriculture but have also generated particular environmental problems. The findings of t…
Cultural Citizenship – some critical thoughts on the usefulness and potential risks of the concept
La idea de lo global, lo cosmopolita, lo multicultural y la ciudadanía cultural ha ido adquiriendo importancia desde 1990. En sus orígenes, la noción de ciudadanía cultural sugería inclusión y diversidad. Intentaba reconocer los derechos culturales de grupos sociales variados, en otras palabras, pluralismo étnico y diversidad. Recientemente, esta noción de inclusión se ha visto cuestionada, e incluso interpretada de forma contraria. La lectura co…

Maritime Labour
Maritime labour
This is a collection of soundings into various aspects of the history of maritime labor from the close of the Middle Ages to the present. The spatial emphasis of the essays is north European and Atlantic since they deal with the countries around the North Sea and Baltic with some coverage of North America. The phrase work at sea naturally makes one think of merchant seafaring and its ancillary trades but, again, several authors in this book deal …
The Principles of Steam’
In the first decades of the Meiji period Japan started a deliberate modernization programme of state and society in which foreign models played a very important role. The speed with which foreign ideas concerning a constitution, a national assembly and popular rights were adopted and adapted is astonishing. Perhaps most impressive is the fact that this policy was not simply an elite matter, issued from above, but involved the general public as we…
Negotiations in Bismarckian Style’
During a parliamentary debate in April 1874, the Dutch conservative politician Nierstrasz made this provocative statement on the war in Aceh. He was supported by the former conservative Minister of Foreign Affairs, Van Zuylen van Nijevelt, who dismissed the negotiations held with Aceh on the basis of a strict ultimatum condescendingly as ‘negotiations à la Bismarck’, and unworthy of a Dutch statesman. Nierstrasz maintained the Dutch were pursuing…
