Sensemaking, Inequity and Agency in a Precarious Transnational Workspace
International seafarers are highly trained and certificated workers but are subject to precaritising working conditions. This affects how they understand and respond to perceived inequities in relation to terms and conditions of employment. Drawing on qualitative interview data, this article examines how this group of workers make sense, rationalise and cope with precarious working conditions. In so doing, it: (i) highlights a range of inequities…
The housing market value of public transport accessibility to employment in post-pandemic England
The rise in home/hybrid working post-pandemic across multiple countries has been linked to significant shifts in housing demand away from urban centres. This paper explores evidence for this shift through changes in the value placed on public transport services in house prices. We analyse changes across 74 travel-to-work areas in England using data from 2.6 million house sales listings combined with novel measures of public transport accessibilit…
Willingness-to-pay for energy efficient homes
Improving the energy efficiency of the housing stock is essential for decarbonising the housing sector. However, achieving large-scale improvements requires substantial private investment, underscoring the importance of housing market incentives. An extensive literature shows a positive willingness-to-pay (WTP) for housing energy efficiency. However, the methodological issue of omitted variable bias (OVB) has weakened claims of a causal effect. I…
Estimating intra-urban traffic CO2 emissions and assessing environmental justice using smart data
Smart data, defined as digital traces that people leave behind during their daily activities, has an underexplored potential to estimate intra-urban traffic emissions and their implications for environmental justice. Here, we incorporate fine-grained mobility flows from the App (Huq) into the Spatial Weight Matrix (SWM) to predict traffic CO 2 in Glasgow City, UK. The results demonstrate that models based on customized SWM with real mobility bett…
Spatial Segregation Measures
Quantitative indices of segregation are powerful tools for summarising the spatial relationships between population groups and thereby providing the basis for analysis and public policy intervention. While the broad concept of segregation may be intuitive, measurement is challenging because of the complexity of varied dimensions and spatial arrangements. Many traditional measures can be criticised for over‐simplification or over‐reduction, not le…
Reconsidering the Relationship between Air Pollution and Deprivation
This paper critically examines the relationship between air pollution and deprivation. We argue that focusing on a particular economic or social model of urban development might lead one to erroneously expect all cities to converge towards a particular universal norm. A naive market sorting model, for example, would predict that poor households will eventually be sorted into high pollution areas, leading to a positive relationship between air pol…
Sources of city prosperity and cohesion
Austerity urbanism in England
That contemporary austerity is being realised to a large extent in and through cities is a growing theme in urban scholarship. Similarly, the concern that the economically marginalised are disproportionately impacted as 'austerity urbanism' takes hold drives a significant body of research. While it is clear that substantial austerity cuts are being downloaded onto cities and their governments, the evidence on whether it is the most disadvantaged …
Exclusionary employment in Britain’s broken labour market
There is growing evidence of the problematic nature of the UK’s ‘flexible labour market’ with rising levels of in-work poverty and insecurity. Yet successive governments have stressed that paid work is the route to inclusion, focussing attention on the divide between employed and unemployed. Past efforts to measure social exclusion have tended to make the same distinction. The aim of this article is to apply Levitas et al.’s (2007) framework to a…
Symposium Introduction
This introduction to the symposium sets out the context for local government in the United Kingdom at the current time. It outlines the scale of the reductions in funding since 2010, showing how uneven these cuts have been across the country and the reasons for this. It also describes the increased exposure to risk of both local government and of the citizens and communities it serves. The central question for the papers which follow is how local…
Coping with the Cuts? The Management of the Worst Financial Settlement in Living Memory
The scale of the cuts to local government finance, coupled with increasing demand for services, has led to unprecedented ‘budget gaps’ in council budgets. Arguably, two competing narratives of the trajectory of local government have emerged in which contrasting futures are imagined for the sector – a positive story of adaptation and survival and more negative one of residualisation and marginalisation. Drawing on case study evidence from three En…
All in it Together'? Social Cohesion in a Divided Society
All in it Together'? Social Cohesion in a Divided Society
This paper asks whether where someone lives bears any association with their attitudes to inequality and income redistribution, focusing on the relative contribution of neighbourhood income, density and ethnic composition. People on higher incomes showed higher support for redistribution when living in more deprived neighbourhoods. People with lower levels of altruism had higher levels of support for redistribution in neighbourhoods of higher den…
Understanding Neighbourhood Dynamics
Managing’ the Middle Classes
There is a longstanding concern about middle-class capture of the benefits of public service provision, although relatively little evidence exists on the exact nature of any advantage or on the processes by which this comes about. Using a framework developed from Gal (J. Gal, 1998. Formulating the Matthew Principle: on the role of the middle-classes in the welfare state. Scandinavian Journal of Social Welfare, 7, 42–55), and via two case studies …
Living Apart, Losing Sympathy? How Neighbourhood Context Affects Attitudes to Redistribution and to Welfare Recipients
Rising levels of income inequality have been directly linked to rising levels of spatial segregation. In this paper we explore whether rising segregation may in turn erode support for the redistributive policies of the welfare state, further increasing levels of inequality-a form of positive feedback. The role of the neighbourhood has been neglected in attitudes research but, building on both political geography and 'neighbourhood effects' litera…

Community Empowerment or a Strategy of Containment? Evaluating Neighbourhood Governance in the City of Westminster
The longstanding emphasis on the neighbourhood as a scale for intervention and action has given rise to a variety of forms of governance with a number of different rationales. The predominant rationales about the purpose of neighbourhood governance are encapsulated in a fourfold typology developed by Lowndes and Sullivan (2008). This article sets out to test this approach by drawing on an evaluation of neighbourhood initiatives in the City of Wes…
Environmental Justice in the City? Challenges for Policy and Resource Allocation in Keeping the Streets Clean
This study addresses issues of social or environmental justice in local urban environmental services, through the particular lens of street cleaning services. While UK policy gives some legitimacy to the idea that services should be enhanced in disadavantaged areas, it is unclear how much service and resource discrimination are necessary or appropriate. In practice, this equity perspective may not have much impact at local level. An empirical ana…
How Spatial Segregation Changes over Time
Although there is strong evidence that segregation on socioeconomic lines has risen in many countries over the last few decades, comparatively little is known about the processes by which this happens. While it is often assumed that selective migration is the dominant process, this has rarely been demonstrated. This paper proposes a more comprehensive framework to analyse processes driving changes in segregation-a 'neighbourhood accounts' framewo…

Understanding Community Empowerment in Urban Regeneration and Planning in England
Community involvement in the fields of town planning and urban regeneration includes a wide range of opportunities for residents and service users to engage with networks, partnerships and centres of power. Both the terminology and degree of the transfer of power to citizens varies in different policy areas and contexts, but five core objectives can be identified. This article approaches the subject of community empowerment by exploring the theor…
Selective Migration and Neighbourhood Deprivation
Selective migration flows are thought to be a key means by which the intended benefits of area-based initiatives `leak out' of target areas, undermining their effectiveness. To date, direct evidence on the scale or impact of these flows has been weak since they are difficult to assess using survey methods. Using 2001 census data for England and Scotland, this paper looks at the scale and composition of flows for deprived neighbourhoods with a par…
The Challenge and Response to Global Tourism in the Post-modern Era
There is a growing literature on the symbolic and cultural meanings of tourism and the ways in which cities are increasingly competing for tourists through the promotion of cultural assets and different forms of spectacle in the `tourist bubble'. To date, research on the role and impact of tourism in cities has largely been confined to those in Western, post-industrial economies. This paper examines the growth of cultural tourism in the central a…
The great skills debate
Over the next four issues, Planning Practice and Research is publishing a series of articles on the debate about skills deficiencies and the range of new skills required in order to address the ‘new urban agenda’. This debate was directly addressed by the Egan Review in England and by similar work commissioned by Communities Scotland (2004 Communities Scotland. 2004. Skills and Competencies for Community Regeneration, Edinburgh: Communities Scotl…

Adjustment to Job Loss in Britain's Major Cities
BAILEY N. and TUROK I. (2000) Adjustment to job loss in Britain's major cities, Reg. Studies 34, 631-653. This paper examines the labour market consequences of severe employment decline in Britain's major cities between 1981 and 1991, using labour market accounts. Significant adjustment to employment change occurred through out-migration and commuting, but unemployment in cities also rose, although much of it was recorded as inactivity. On averag…
Housing Renewal, Urban Policy and Gentrification
Understanding the impacts of housing renewal policies has become an increasingly complex task. First, evaluation must recognise the changing urban context within which policies operate, notably the revitalisation of some inner-city areas through the process of gentrification. Secondly, and more importantly, housing renewal policies should be viewed in the wider context of urban policy. Yet competing frameworks are available for judging success in…

Transformation or Bureaucratization? The changing role of community representation in local strategic partnerships in England
The debate about the need to build social capital and to engage local communities in public policy has become a central issue in many advanced liberal societies and developing countries. In many countries new forms of governance have emerged out of a growing realization that representative democracy by itself is no longer sufficient. One of the most significant public policy trends in the United Kingdom has been the involvement of community organ…

Into the Unknown or into Planning? Managing the Transition to Work in the U.K
Employment and recruitment practices in planning, as in other white-collar professions, have been affected by fundamental changes in Western economies. Changes during the last five years mean that planning school graduates are likely to face an increasingly competitive jobs market. In this article, I review trends facing the planning profession and explore how U.K. planning schools are responding to the challenge of promoting in students both the…

Central Scotland as a Polycentric Urban Region
Interest in the concept of the polycentric urban region (PUR) has been growing among planners and policy-makers in north-west Europe. PURs are believed to offer a means of promoting regional economic competitiveness while safeguarding environmental objectives. This paper interrogates the concept and examines its relevance to the central Scotland region. Central Scotland has a polycentric physical form, but the evidence that it is a single functio…
Managing the Transition to Work
The development of town planning education in the United Kingdom can be traced back over at least sixty years and has always enjoyed a close relationship with practitioners, employers and the professional body, the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI). In order to ensure an intake of sufficient quality to a growing profession, the Institute offered its own exams until the 1980s and then initiated the current system of accrediting both undergradua…
Dimensions of city competitiveness
For a private firm, competitiveness is a relatively simple concept concerned with commercial performance or the ability to provide sufficient returns on capital to attract investment. For a city, competitiveness is more complex and multidimensional, not least because the various tiers and agencies of government responsible for promoting economic growth cannot neglect the implications for social welfare and the environment. The value of a firm to …
