A university town and attraction/re-attraction of international students: An investigation into Dushu Lake higher education town in Suzhou, China
While the attraction of international students makes a direct impact on the host city and the education institutions, retention (or reattraction) of them after their graduation can generate wider, indirect impacts on the local labor market. The link from international study to the labor market means the role of a gateway played out by the host city that offers university education and various urban attributes.

From universal to local: Perspectives on cultural landscape heritage in South Africa

How does(n't) Urban Shrinkage get onto the Agenda? Experiences from L eipzig, L iverpool, G enoa and B ytom

We use the political‐science concep…

Conceptualizing the Role of Key Individuals in Urban Governance: Cases from the Economic Regeneration of Liverpool, UK
This paper argues that the role of key individuals in the governance of urban regeneration is often overlooked in empirical studies and theorizations, despite it often being an important causal factor in urban change. The paper provides a “starter” conceptualization of this phenomenon through combining Weber's [(1947) The Theory of Social and Economic Organization—Translated by A.M. Henderson and Talcott Parsons (London: Collier Macmillan Publish…
