Cargo mobilities by bike
Cycle logistics services have re-emerged across Europe in response to urban and environmental challenges and as a sustainable solution for delivering goods. While most studies approach cycle logistics through optimisation and substitution perspectives, this paper offers a critical analysis of how cycle logistics practices navigate tensions between logics of logistical circulation and embodied mobilities. Drawing on interviews with cycle logistics…
Mobilising safety? Public order and the coordination of security guards in public transport in Stockholm
This study contributes to the growing literature on mobile work by examining the coordination of safety practices in public transport in Stockholm. We explore how safety, a critical and evolving theme in mobility studies, intersects with mobile work and its associated coordination challenges. Since the introduction of safety policies, security guards have focused on ‘circulatory maintenance’, a process gaining prominence in Stockholm’s public tra…
Between pace-making and pace-taking
The purpose of this study is to explore the concept of social acceleration by examining how cities are trying to speed up, maintain or slow down the pace of societal change. Through studies of cycle logistics policies and actions in cities in Denmark, Norway, the UK, the Netherlands, and Germany, we show how these balance between acting as pace-makers and pace-takers, as well as what the consequences of this balancing act are for enacting cycle l…
Passing on the torch
From acquiescence to avoidance
Using the concept of standards and a framework examining strategic responses to institutional processes, this article aims to understand why a municipality has resisted to implement elite football’s stadium requirements and, from this perspective, assesses the options municipalities actually have to refuse implementing them. At first, the municipality in focus, Ängelholm in Sweden, demonstrated a lack of awareness of the intrinsic power of standa…
Hosting major sports events
While the literature on the economic impacts of major sports events has grown considerably over the years, the question of utilisation of venues built for these events after the party is over has received little attention. This article fills some of the gaps in the literature. By means of a Stadium Utilisation Index, it measures the post-event utilisation of venues that were constructed of significantly refurbished to host major sports events in …
