Visual Negotiations of Gentrification in Toronto: Contestation, Politicization and Resistance through Urban Signage
This article engages signage as a medium through which urban stakeholders negotiate the politics of housing redevelopment and gentrification in cities. Focusing on Toronto, we examine housing‐related signage in three neighbourhoods where social mix approaches to redevelopment have ushered in gentrification: Parkdale, Regent Park, and Moss Park. We identify three types of signs through which these politics are expressed: notice of proposed develop…
Degree Photography: A Step-by-step Method for Collecting and Analyzing Spherical Visual Data in the Social Sciences
360-degree photography is an emerging form of visual media that is increasingly used in research. However, little methodological evidence exists on the use of this technology for field-based data collection and analysis. Drawing on an “urban objects” research project, we describe procedures to capture, process, store, code, and analyze 360-degree digital photos, highlighting considerations particular to this imaging format. 360-degree photography…
The last meter problem in cities: Digital platforms, urban signage, and the enduring analog
Docklessness, aesthetic governance, and the urban ‘micromobility mess’
Dockless micromobility sharing systems have wrought significant visual changes to urban streetscapes worldwide. These changes are often described in terms of the ‘mess’ of micromobility, characterised by dockless vehicles abandoned in roadways, sidewalks, and recreational paths, tossed into waterways, and graffitied, burned, and otherwise vandalised. In this paper, we argue that efforts to govern this dockless micromobility mess – which most freq…
Degree Video for Whole Scene Capture: From Immersive Realism to Immersive Holism in Place-Based Research
360-degree video is an affordable and easy-to-use technology for social science research. It holds significant potential for capturing spatio-temporal aspects of the social world from a fully omni-directional spatial perspective; however, gaps remain as to how it can be used to support field-based data collection and analysis. In this short piece we offer two contributions to the literature on 360-degree video for qualitative social science resea…
The Housing Experiences of Temporary Foreign Workers (TFWs) in Canada: Examining Issues Through a Systematic Literature Review
Platform-mediated territorial stigmatization and destigmatization: Unpacking Reddit discussions on moving to “the other” London
Platforms mediate and its users reproduce stigmas that stem from the pre-platform era. • Users enacted and reworked established territorial destigmatization strategies. • (De)stigmatization is tied to data sourcing, design, governance, and culture. • Territorial stigmatization in mid-sized cities differs from large cities. This paper interrogates the role of digital platforms in advancing territorial stigma. Drawing from research that has discern…
Social housing stigma in Toronto: Identifying asymmetries between stereotypes and statistical actualities of health, crime, and human capital
Research on social housing stigma has proliferated due to growing concern over the effects of territorial stigmatization. The stereotyping of social housing as a site of ill‐health, criminality, and low human capital stems from empirically ambiguous narratives created and recirculated through popular modes (e.g., social media platforms, news coverage). This paper combines principal component analysis, k‐means cluster analysis, and geographic info…
Degree Video for Virtual Place-Based Research: A review and research agenda
360-degree video is an immersive technology used in research across academic disciplines. This paper provides the first comprehensive review on the use of 360-degree video for virtual place-based research, highlighting its use in experimental, experiential, and environmental observation studies. Five key research domains for 360-degree video are described: tourism and cultural heritage; built environment and land use; natural environment; health …
Panoramic Street-Level Imagery in Data-Driven Urban Research: A Comprehensive Global Review of Applications, Techniques, and Practical Considerations
The release of Google Street View in 2007 inspired several new panoramic street-level imagery platforms including Apple Look Around, Bing StreetSide, Baidu Total View, Tencent Street View, Naver Street View, and Yandex Panorama. The ever-increasing global capture of cities in 360° provides considerable new opportunities for data-driven urban research. This paper provides the first comprehensive, state-of-the-art review on the use of street-level …
