  • What influences the social acceptance of floating urban developments? Insights from a floating neighborhood in Amsterdam

    Open Access•Sonja Rombach, Britta Restemeyer et al.•ARTICLE•Cities•2026

    There is increasing interest in floating urban developments as an innovative approach to urbanization pressures and climate change. Although smaller-scale floating housing projects already exist in the Netherlands and globally, developing and upscaling floating neighborhoods involves various complex governance challenges. Particularly the social and political acceptance of living on water remains a central, yet underexplored issue. Existing float…

  • Leveraging local knowledge for landslide disaster risk reduction in an urban informal settlement in Manado, Indonesia

    Open Access•Elizabeth Macafee, Ansje Löhr et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of Disaster…•2024

    Disaster preparedness and response, including for landslides, increasingly involves local knowledge. Incorporating contextual, dynamic and experience-based local knowledge leads to greater awareness of the interconnectedness of geological, natural, and social processes. Still, technical literature on urban landslide risk is mainly based on geological and natural dynamics and, to a lesser extent, physical infrastructure. Moreover, although local k…

  • Desensitised flood risk perception to extensive disasters in a marginalised urban kampong in Indonesia

  • Quantifying quality

    Open Access•Elizabeth Macafee•ARTICLE•Local Environment•2023

    This paper examines the production of drinking water quality knowledge in Kaolack, Senegal, showing that the state apparatus of scientific knowledge production can struggle to incorporate consumer perceptions and preferences. The article builds on contributions from geography and science and technology studies which show that environmental knowledges emerge through heterogeneous social and biophysical interactions, with political consequences. Re…

  • De-centering the urban waterscape via patterns, relations and traces of drinking water quality in Kaolack, Senegal

    Open Access•Elizabeth Macafee•ARTICLE•Political Geography•2023•References: 49

    Scholars studying urban water governance have used the concept of the waterscape to describe how unequal urban environments are constructed in ways that are deeply connected to power, knowledge, materiality, and social relations. Yet in many cases, these works have tended to prioritise access to water and neglect the role of water quality in co-producing urban waterscapes. Therefore in this article I show, using grounded ethnographic description …

  • Critically assembling water quality ethics beyond thresholds, hierarchies and best practices

    Open Access•Elizabeth Macafee•ARTICLE•Environment and Planning E Nature…•2023•Cited by: 2•References: 91

    The emerging field of water ethics analyses and explores the moral implications of particular human-water relations and practices. This article focuses on ethical aspects of planning, management and governance of water quality, in what I refer to as water quality ethics. In particular, I draw attention to the potential for incorporating the ethical perspectives of philosophers Giles Deleuze and Félix Guattari into water quality planning, manageme…
