Identifying urban development clusters in southern Poland using the DBSCAN algorithm for spatial analysis
Urban sprawl is a critical issue for people’s lives, our economies, our cities and our natural environments. This article explores urban development patterns as they are manifested in spatio-structural urban models in metropolitan areas (cluster, linear or dispersed) vis-à-vis evidence of sprawl. We focus on four metropolitan regions in southern Poland: the Wrocław metropolitan area, the Górnośląsko-Zagłębiowska metropolis, the Kraków metropolita…
Exploring the Spatial Dynamics of Community for the Gay and Queer Population in Kraków, Poland
The population of sexual minorities in Poland has struggled to achieve equal rights since Poland gained independence after the post-socialist era began in 1989. This article traces the evolution of the LGBTQ+ minority in Poland, including discriminatory acts against sexual minorities in 2020 (punctuated by the creation of ‘LGBT zones’ by local municipal governments) and the actions the LGBTQ+ community has taken against this oppression and to fur…
Using the weighted urban proliferation (WUP) approach to measure the effects of planning strategies on urban sprawl in Poland
Urban sprawl is one of the major challenges facing urbanizing societies. This study quantifies the extent of urban sprawl in southern Poland's four most populous metropolitan areas, encompassing 164 municipalities, and assesses the effectiveness of spatial planning strategies aimed at limiting sprawl. The first phase of the research establishes comparative parameters for evaluating sprawl across these urban regions. To measure it, we apply the we…
Envisioning a transformation of socialist-era housing estates into sustainability-infused eco-villages
Throughout Europe, large housing estates dating from the socialist era are an important part of the housing stock and cultural life, and in some cities the apartment buildings within them house more than half of the residents. There have been many attempts to regenerate large housing estates, since they were built with cheap materials, using contemporaneous (and outdated) planning principles, and were projected to be used for only one generation …

Community Support Organizations in Gay Neighborhoods
Volunteerism, grassroots activism, and mutual aid have been critical to the advancement of rights and opportunities for LGBTQ+ people. These activities are institutionally anchored within supportive organizations embedded in LGBTQ+ communities. But these supportive organizations can be stressed by external crises, such as the Covid-19 pandemic, limiting the capacity for providing routine services. This article provides a typology of community sup…

Understanding Generation Gaps in LGBTQ+ Communities
Using Strauss-Howe generational theory as a guiding structure, this chapter examines differences between generational identity for LGBTQ+ individuals compared to heteronormative generational identity. We theorize that LGBTQ+ individuals may identify with two generational cohorts—one defined by birth year and a second related to “coming of age” as a sexual minority. A case study examining the lifespan of four LGBTQ+ celebrity personalities demonst…
After/Lives
Beginning in 2020, COVID-19 produced shock-shifts that were felt across the globe, not least at the level of the local neighborhood. Some of these shifts have called into question the role of physical places for face-to-face gatherings, including those used by LGBTQ+ people. Such open questions are a key concern for a book on gayborhoods, so this chapter engages in three analytic tasks to provide preliminary reflections on how pandemics problemat…
Who Are the People in Your Gayborhood? Understanding Population Change and Cultural Shifts in LGBTQ+ Neighborhoods
Gay neighborhoods, like all neighborhoods, are in a state of continual change. The relevance of gay neighborhoods—originally formed to promote segregation of individuals who identify as sexual minorities—is lately challenged by advances in technology, experiences with pandemics, shifts in generational opinion and social values, increasing acceptance of LGBTQ+ individuals, and (in certain places) increased rights and protections for LGBTQ+ individ…
Minus Minimums
Problem, research strategy, and findings Cities today face considerable land use, environmental, and economic challenges resulting from policies prioritizing automobiles and requiring ample off-street parking. In an effort to influence travel behavior and reduce parking supply, Buffalo (NY) adopted the Green Code in 2017. This zoning code reform repealed minimum parking requirements citywide and provided a “natural experiment” to investigate effe…

Enlargement of apartments in socialist housing estates in Skopje under transition
The post-socialist urban restructuring of Skopje, North Macedonia has been characterized by significant changes in the built fabric of the city, resulting from the political, economic and societal processes following the dissolution of Yugoslavia. In early 1990s and post-privatization, there was a dynamic transformation of the city’s housing stock in post-WWII prefabricated apartment buildings. Flat owners in socialist-era housing estates in Skop…

Vertical segregation of apartment building dwellers during late state socialism in Bucharest, Romania
This article examines patterns of within-building vertical segregation in Bucharest, Romania under late socialism using micro-data (individual/household level information) from the 1992 Romanian national census. The data allows examination of separation of households according to the floor on which a household is located and according to the residential sector/district of Bucharest. Findings suggest that common social and demographic factors are …
Housing Estates in Europe

Gay Ghettoes Growing Gray
Preferences Toward Neighbor Ethnicity and Affluence
In the post-Soviet era, cities in Central and Eastern Europe inherited a rather undifferentiated sociospatial urban landscape that contrasts with the highly segregated cities in Western Europe and North America. In the Soviet era, ethnic segregation emerged as migrants were prioritized in public housing allocation. The dissolution of the Soviet Union, however, changed the economic and political position of those in-migrants. This study explores h…

Bus rapid transit identity meets universal design
As bus rapid transit (BRT) systems continue to become more popular and as capital expenditure for such projects continues to grow, careful consideration of BRT identity design becomes ever more necessary. Properly considered identity systems can ensure accessibility to and usability of physical features and can also ensure that BRT systems are accessible and practical to use. Based on the seven principles of universal design, this article propose…
Impact of Proximity to Light Rail Rapid Transit on Station-area Property Values in Buffalo, New York
This study assesses the impact of proximity to light rail transit stations on residential property values in Buffalo, New York, where light rail has been in service for 20 years, but population is declining and ridership is decreasing. Hedonic models are constructed of assessed value for residential properties within half a mile of 14 light rail stations and independent variables are included that describe property characteristics, neighbourhood …
Access to Employment for Adults in Poverty in the Buffalo-Niagara Region
This study extends the spatial mismatch literature by examining access to employment for the low-income population in Erie and Niagara Counties in western New York State. The analysis uses geographical information systems (GIS) to map residence and employment locations and calculate measures of employment and transport access. Throughout the two-county region, two-thirds of adults in poverty live within close proximity to a reasonable number of l…

Governmental Subsidies for Public Transit
Funding for transit in the United States has been in a state of transition for half a century. Transit has evolved from a private industry sustained by farebox revenues to a public entity supported by federal and, more recently, state and local governments. To better understand the complex funding environment of public transit, especially the role of public subsidies, this research examines the history of public funding for transit, investigates …

Fare-Free Public Transit at Universities
Universities and public transit agencies in the United States have together invented an arrangement—called Unlimited Ac-cess—that provides fare-free transit ser-vice for all students (and, on some campuses, faculty and staff as well). Unlimited Access is not free transit but is instead a new way to pay for it. The university pays the transit agency for all rides taken by eligible members of the campus community. This article evaluates the results…
