  • The impacts of diagnosis-intervention packet payment on inpatient medical costs for hematologic malignancies and solid tumors

    Open AccessHuiping Xu, Qunqing She et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Background This study aims to analyze and compare the impact of the diagnosis-intervention packet (DIP) payment on inpatient medical costs for hematologic malignancies (HM) and solid tumors (ST) patients, and to explore its implications for hospital financial sustainability and payment reform. Methods Using a retrospective research design, this study focused on HM and ST patients treated before and after the implementation of the DIP payment at a…

  • Strategic inaction and the limits of green state entrepreneurialism

    Open AccessLinjun Xie, Harry Den HartogARTICLEUrban Studies2025References: 49

    This article critically examines the 10th China Flower Expo as an emblematic case of green state entrepreneurialism in practice. Promoted as a flagship ecological event to advance Chongming Island’s transformation into a “world-class ecological island,” the Expo ultimately functioned less as a vehicle for sustainability transition than as a staged performance of green legitimacy, punctuated by short-term accumulation and long-term deferral. Drawi…

  • Contextual factors for transnational municipal network's local environmental action

    Katharina Rochell, Linjun Xie et al.ARTICLELocal Environment2023

    While the existence and significance of transnational municipal networks (TMNs) in the realm of environmental governance have been well documented, the implementation and impacts of their local programmes, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, remain underexplored. This paper contributes to addressing this gap of knowledge by examining what obstructs or facilitates TMNs’ local actions and the extent to which they can catalyse wider transformative imp…

  • Transnational Governance and the Urban Politics of Nature-Based Solutions for Climate Change

    Lowell Tozer, Harriet Bulkeley et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Politics2022Cited by: 6References: 8

    Multiple visions for how urbanism can respond to the climate crisis and foster sustainability have emerged on the international agenda, including the ecocity, low-carbon city, smart city, and resilient city. These competing visions have been joined by one deploying “nature-based solutions.” We examine how nature-based solutions are emerging as a linchpin holding together the nature and climate agendas and what this means for where and by whom nat…

  • Disappearing reeds on Chongming Island

    Open AccessLinjun Xie, Christof Mauch et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Planning E Nature…2022Cited by: 5References: 38

    This paper critically examines current ecological development planning and practice in China through an environmental microhistory approach. By tracing the gradual disappearance of an indigenous plant - the common reed ( Phragmites australis) - on Chongming Island in Shanghai, which is known for the grand Eco-Islands development plan, this paper reveals the paradox of ecological destruction through eco-development in China. Based on data collecte…

  • Urban experimentation and institutional arrangements

    Open AccessRob Raven, Frans Sengers et al.ARTICLEEuropean Planning Studies2019

    Currently little is known about how institutional arrangements co-evolve with urban experimentation. This paper mobilizes neo-institutional literature and recent urban experimentation literature as a framework to explore how and why institutional arrangements differ across urban contexts. Empirically the paper focusses on smart city initiatives in Amsterdam, Hamburg and Ningbo. These three cities are frontrunners in adopting a comprehensive smart…

  • Urban Entrepreneurialism and Sustainable Development

    Linjun Xie, A Cheshmehzangi et al.ARTICLEJournal of Urban Technology2019

    In recent years, state entrepreneurialism and the notion of (urban) sustainability have become ever more closely intertwined in China and there has been a proliferation of eco-/low-carbon and other similar sustainability-themed urban initiatives that have helped local states to achieve a favorable position in city competitions. Nevertheless, existing studies do not explain why Chinese sustainability projects are planned/implemented with divergent…
