Aligning Heritage Conservation and Climate Mitigation Through Adaptive Reuse
This thematic issue explores the role of heritage conservation in climate mitigation and adaptation by examining the convergences between retrofitting heritage buildings, the circular economy, urban revitalisation, sustainable communities, and sense of place. The diverse contributions focus on the place of heritage in circular economy policies, retrofitting, and climate adaptation. Collectively, the articles set out the contribution of heritage c…
Adapting to climate change
Climate change is already impacting Ireland, through rising temperatures, more frequent extreme weather events, and increasing risks such as coastal erosion and flooding. Volume 3 of the Irish Climate Change Assessment Report (ICCA), launched in 2024, synthesises extensive research on past and projected climate-change impacts and provides a roadmap for being prepared for Ireland’s future climate. While climate action nationally has been focused o…
Policy, planning practice and the lived experience in a changing Ireland
Recent planning frameworks and policies have formally recognised the significance of the urban in contemporary Ireland and put in place the groundwork to accommodate, facilitate, and accelerate ‘metropolitanisation.’ If implemented, this new strategic positioning can move Ireland in the direction of more balanced development. However, the new spatial arrangements pose profound implications for existing modes of organisation and economic activity …
Path dependence, ‘lock-in’ and rural housing outcomes
Planning studies on rural housing are heavily shaped by concepts from urbanized countries with larger populations and attendant conservation pressures on agricultural or otherwise protected land. In particular, Anglo-American theorization on counterurbanisation and the differentiated countryside have enabled planning theory to engage with and compare multiple planning realities, albeit with the secondary effect of distorting appraisal in countrie…
Stolen Dreams
Chris Lamb provides an opportunity for the voices of a long-forgotten Little League team to be heard and better understood within the context of racial strife in Charleston, South Carolina. Lamb places the story of the 1955 Cannon Street All-Stars in the larger context of the Civil Rights Movement, pointing out that these eleven- to twelve-year-old boys were involved in the fight even if they did not realize it at the time. Lamb takes the reader …
The 21st century corporate town
High-tech corporations have established a foothold in cities through innovation districts. Across the north Atlantic, these are typically waterfront urban renewal projects that repurpose formerly industrial land contiguous to the city centre into fully master-planned sites that also include smart city developments. Our case study focuses on the governance and spatial planning of waterfront innovation districts in Boston in the United States and D…

Data ratcheting and data-driven organisational change in transport
This article explores the process by which intelligent transport system technologies have further advanced a data-driven culture in public transport and traffic control. Based on 12 interviews with transport engineers and fieldwork visits to three control rooms, it follows the implementation of Real-Time Passenger Information in Dublin and the various technologies on which it is dependent. It uses the concept of 'data ratcheting' to describe how …
From the accidental to articulated smart city
While there is a relatively extensive literature concerning the nature of smart cities in general, the roles of corporate actors in their production and the development and deployment of specific smart city technologies, to date there have been relatively few studies that have examined the situated practices by which the smart city unfolds in specific places. In this paper, we draw on three sets of interviews ( n = 114) and ethnographic fieldwork…
The challenges of aligning the scales of urban climate science and climate policy in London and Manchester
The longevity of our urban buildings and streetscapes means that they will need to perform to a satisfactory standard in a context of climate change, with an increasing propensity for higher temperatures and extreme weather events accentuated by the urban heat island. Research funded to explore future climate in cities is frequently required to work directly with stakeholders to co-produce useful knowledge and tools. This study considers the rela…
Subduing Satan
The Praying South and the Fighting South are two of our most popular images of white southern culture. In Subduing Satan , Ted Ownby details the tensions between these complex--and often opposing--attitudes. re-creation of male recreation is rich and fascinating. He paints the saloon and the street, the cockfighting and dogfighting rings as realms of distinctly male vices, enjoyed lustily by men seeking to escape the sweet virtue of the Southern …
