Loft Conversion and Gentrification in London: From Industrial to Postindustrial Land Use
It is argued that many major Western cities have seen the conversion of centrally located commercial and industrial property to residential uses in recent years. This is seen as part of a wider process of change from industrial to postindustrial land uses and is a physical counterpart of the economic and occupational class transformation of these cities towards the growth of professional and managerial workers working in financial, business, and …
Places and Spaces I've Been: Geographies of female flight attendants in the United States
This article presents an evaluation of the flight attendant profession in the United States through a geographical lens. It suggests that geographies of mobility, placelessness and the body coalesce in the work of women flight attendants, creating an occupation that is both liberating and constraining. It has allowed women to traverse and occupy space, to belong to an occupational community and to have access to ‘bounded’ spaces outside the domes…

Touching Down: Labour, Globalisation and the Airline Industry
This paper explores the recent history of cabin crew in the airline industry. It argues that as companies have become more complex and interconnected during the process of globalisation in the 1990s, a dialectic has been at work that provides workers with a newfound power. Lessons are drawn from the British Airways cabin crew strike of 1997, in which workers successfully resisted attempts to remove union recognition. These involve questions of ac…

Cabin Pressure: The Dialectics of Emotional Labour in the Airline Industry
This article examines the recent history of female airline cabin crew. Through an analysis of 'emotional labor', it explores how women workers have successfully challenged and redefined their position and role in the airline industry. The main body of the article discusses the International Transport Workers Federation anti-sexism campaign and British Airways' cabin crew strike, both of which occurred in 1997. These are set in the context of acti…
A battle on two fronts: Competitive urges 'inside' Atlanta
This paper argues that intra –regional competition is as important as intra –regional in the shaping of an urban region. Recent concentration on urban promotion within the discipline places an emphasis on competition between cities that should be counterbalanced by stressing the degree of competition between cities and their suburban peripheries. Using the case of Atlanta, Georgia, and in particular its Vision 2020 initiative, the paper explores …
Keeping Their Eyes on the Skies: Jet Aviation, Delta Air Lines and the Growth of Atlanta

Going for Gold: Atlanta's Bid for Fame
This article explores the importance of image to the Atlanta Olympic Games of 1996. It suggests that the event must be seen as an example of the use of the propagation of selected images designed to boost the standing of the city in an increasingly competitive interurban environment. The intersection of major sporting spectacles, big business and vastly increased television coverage provides an important new medium through which boosterists can p…
