Sharing neighbourhoods
A basic idea of the Sharing City concept is that non-commercial forms of sharing have particular potential for sustainable and socially inclusive urban development. While there is much research on commercial sharing in the context of the Sharing Economy , non-commercial sharing and its local setting remain largely unexplored. In this article, we draw on research in neighbourhoods of seven European cities to examine characteristics of non-commerci…
Future Urban Sustainability
Given the current challenges of global environmental change and other pressing issues, cities—along with other urban actors—must intensify and expand their efforts to operate within planetary boundaries and advance sustainability agendas. As we move toward the period beyond 2030, it will be crucial to establish and meet goals that reduce ecological impacts, advance social justice and inclusion, and avert further environmental degradation. The lim…
A gift from heaven
Google’s Environmental Insights Explorer (EIE) exemplifies a tech-down approach by leveraging proprietary data, machine learning and artificial intelligence to analyse urban greenhouse gas emissions, solar potential and tree canopy coverage. While framed as a tool for cities to assess and improve sustainability, the EIE often overlooks localised contexts and depends on opaque data generation processes that follow commercial interests. This study …
Developing a two-level machine-learning approach for classifying urban form for an East Asian mega-city
Having had the most rapid urbanization in the world since the 1990s, mega-cities in East Asia featured highly compact and atomized modernist architecture. With densely built modernist architecture and relatively free building regulations, it is challenging to trace the actual development of the whole city. Compared to European cities, their overall urban landscapes are much denser, higher, and functionally mixed. In order to achieve a quicker and…
Innovation in the creative industries
Creative industries contain paradoxes because conflicting tensions arise between the market and the arts. Entrepreneurs need to find and maintain a balance between those two sides to create innovation. This study tests the interaction between business and creative orientations of a founder in their influence on innovation in the context of creative entrepreneurial firms and provides recommendations for how creative agents can leverage and manage …
Monitoring the Sustainable Development Goals in cities
Smart city strategies highlight the potential to generate new type of data through new technology, for example crowdsourced data. Based on an empirical study, we show the potentials and limits of using new data for monitoring urban sustainability and especially the Sustainable Development Goals .The latest debate on smart cities and sustainability is underpinned by the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda and their accompanying Sustainable Development Goa…
Sharing and Space-Commoning Knowledge Through Urban Living Labs Across Different European Cities
While the growing commodification of housing and public spaces in European cities is producing urban inequalities affecting mostly migrant and vulnerable populations, there are also manifold small-scale neighbourhood-based collaborative processes that seek to co-produce shared urban resources and contribute to more resilient urban developments. As part of the ProSHARE research project that investigates conditions in which sharing takes place and …
Cosmopolitans and communitarians
The past 25 years have seen an unprecedented Europeanisation of the structures and governance in football across the continent. A European (and global) transfer market for players and managers has become the norm and a pan-European league system has been established that regularly exposes supporters to transnational competitions and players from all over Europe. At the same time, manifold typologies of football fans have been established, disting…
Le dénigrement de l’autre par la langue dans le foot amateur en Allemagne et en France
Le dénigrement de l’autre par la langue – englobant toutes les formes de la violence verbale quotidienne (telles que de simples insultes) et permettant de tirer des conclusions sur les attitudes à l’égard de groupes – est un phénomène transnational croissant. L’objectif de cet article est donc d’analyser ce phénomène social dans le cadre du foot amateur en Allemagne et en France. Après avoir présenté le développement du modèle plurifactoriel par …
Conceptualizing Interactions between SDGs and Urban Sustainability Transformations in Covid-19 Times
Given the potential of cities to contribute to a more sustainable world as framed by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN 2030 Development Agenda, this article focuses on Urban Sustainability Transformations. We take a closer look at the potentials, contradictions and challenges that SDG implementation in cities involves in light of the current Covid-19 pandemic. We argue that SDG implementation needs to consider these global challe…
Cities as transnational climate change actors
The term ‘cities of the Global South’ has become an increasingly popular reference in urban studies and urban development practice. Notwithstanding, the term remains underexplored and the majority of research does not address whether the Global North/Global South dichotomy is a useful theoretical framework for urban studies. This article provides a more detailed analysis of the term Global South in urban research and presents benefits and pitfall…

Non-elite conceptions of Europe
Discursive approaches to Europe usually focus on elite discourses and target a narrow political understanding of Europe. Against the backdrop of rising Euroscepticism and the known elite-mass divide on issues of European identity, it seems important to shift the focus toward non-elite discourses on Europe. Given that club football is largely Europeanised (player markets, continent-wide club competitions and broadcasting of matches), we analyse ho…

Einmal Transformation für alle, bitte! Kommunen, Stadtforschung, Forschungsförderung und die Umsetzung der SDGs
Die lokale Umsetzung der Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) ist für Kommunen eine große Herausforderung. Doch wie können Stadtpolitik und -verwaltung unterstützt werden, damit urbane Nachhaltigkeitstransformationen gelingen? Ein Dialogprozess zwischen Wissenschaft und Praxis, organisiert vom Deutschen Komitee für Nachhaltigkeitsforschung in Future Earth , hat gezeigt, dass kommunale Politik und Verwaltung und die Wissenschaft stärker kooperiere…
Compact or cool? The impact of brownfield redevelopment on inner-city micro climate
La résilience sociolinguistique et la crise des réfugiés en Allemagne en 2015/2016
nCe troisième article d ́une série veut montrer la résilience sociolinguistique par l’analyse qualitative et quantitative d’un corpus tiré des discours du groupe PEGIDA en Allemagne entre 2015 et 2016. Ainsi le vocabulaire concret de la guerre en usage analysé dans cet article montre non seulement une co-évolution et une co-adaptation face à la crise des réfugiés mais aussi une spirale linguistique sociétale dans le discours public.\n
Eklipse
The aim of EKLIPSE is to develop a mechanism to inform European-scale policy on biodiversity and related environmental challenges. This paper considers two fundamental aspects of the decision-support mechanism being developed by EKLIPSE: 1) the engagement of relevant actors from science, policy and society to jointly identify evidence for decision making; and 2) the networking of scientists and other holders of knowledge on biodiversity and other…
Implementing the “Sustainable Development Goals”
Agency and forms of path development along transformation processes in German cities
The article provides elements of a theoretical framework to embed the discussion of regional path dependence and transformation into evolutionary approaches of complex adaptive systems. The evolutionary perspective avoids the focus on lock-in as a major challenge of path dependence, while allowing for more options along path-dependent processes including path plasticity and path creation. The empirical part is based on a qualitative study of tran…
Participation without Power
Citizen participation has become an important political strategy. A case study of the Barranquilla land-use plan employing Fung and Wright's theories on countervailing power reveals that the citizen participation promoted to comply with legal requirements was a failure because it was manipulated by the dominant public actor. In societies such as that of Barranquilla, which employs traditional modes of politics, there is little chance of fostering…
Urban Sustainability Transformations in lights of resource efficiency and resilient city concepts
The Rules of the Game and How to Change Them
During the last several years a dynamic transformation has been taking place at the northern city fringe of Barranquilla, Colombia: shopping malls, gated communities and gated tower buildings have been built — a process very similar to other Latin American cities. The aim of this article is to reveal the underlying planning approaches and explain the role and influence of the private and public actors involved. This work contributes to the discus…
City-regions and their role in the Euro-Latin American relations
This paper argues that a new agenda for the relations between the European Union (EU) and Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) is necessary, and that city regions can play an important role in it. Due to the shortcomings of the previous interregional strategy and the futile discussion if Latin America follows the European integration model, this new agenda should focus more on triangular and decentralized forms of cooperation aid, trade issues, …
