  • Weaving for action: Transformative change in biodiversity monitoring

    Open AccessCarol Garzon-Lopez, Laura M Bellis et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2026

    The Post‐2020 Kunming‐Montreal Biodiversity Framework aims to drive transformative change to halt biodiversity loss. To track progress toward its goals and targets, a dedicated monitoring framework has been established. The current biodiversity monitoring framework relies on a set of indicators developed through a unidirectional process of data collection from local to global scales. As such, the current framework reinforces dominant views and es…

  • Exhibitionary urbanism: International Expos and city planning, 1851–2025

    Open AccessAndrew Smith, J R Gold et al.ARTICLEPlanning Perspectives2025References: 27

    International Expositions, World Expos or World’s Fairs – hereafter referred to simply as Expos – have helped to invent, develop and disseminate the modernity that has reshaped our world since the midnineteenth century, and have contributed to the globalization of economies, cultures, societies and environments. These events are inextricably associated with pioneering inventions and technological progress, but also with empire building and coloni…

  • Olympic urbanism: Past, present and future

    Open AccessAndrew Smith, J R Gold et al.ARTICLEPlanning Perspectives2024

    City planning and urban change have become closely associated with the Olympic Games. Early editions of the revived Games had relatively limited effects on their host cities but, over the past century, hosting the Olympic Games has become an urban project rather than merely a sporting or geopolitical one.Footnote1 This is demonstrated by the ways in which key terms such as ‘legacy’ and ‘spectacle’ are now commonly used. Rather than memories, beha…

    Open AccessUta Wehn, Mohammad Gharesifard et al.ARTICLESustainability Science2021Cited by: 4References: 11

    Over the past decade, citizen science has experienced growth and popularity as a scientific practice and as a new form of stakeholder engagement and public participation in science or in the generation of new knowledge. One of the key requirements for realising the potential of citizen science is evidence and demonstration of its impact and value. Yet the actual changes resulting from citizen science interventions are often assumed, ignored or sp…

  • Festival Cities: Culture, Planning and Urban Life

    J R Gold, Margaret M Gold et al.BOOKFestival Cities2020

    Festivals have always been part of city life, but their relationship with their host cities has continually changed. With the rise of industrialization, they were largely considered peripheral to the course of urban affairs. Now they have become central to new ways of thinking about the challenges of economic and social change, as well as repositioning cities within competitive global networks. In this timely and thought-provoking book, John and …

  • Mapping citizen science contributions to the UN sustainable development goals

    Open AccessDilek Fraisl, Jillian Campbell et al.ARTICLESustainability Science2020Cited by: 18References: 4

    The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a vision for achieving a sustainable future. Reliable, timely, comprehensive, and consistent data are critical for measuring progress towards, and ultimately achieving, the SDGs. Data from citizen science represent one new source of data that could be used for SDG reporting and monitoring. However, information is still lacking regarding the current and potential contributions of citizen science to t…

    This commentary on the contribution made by Kavaratzis and Ashworth (2005) examines the antecedents to which it responded, the key ideas that it offered at the time of publication, and assesses its lasting impact. There are three main sections. The first reflects upon the informal and improvised approaches that characterised place promotion, marketing and branding in the final decades of the twentieth century. The second surveys Kavaratzis and As…

  • Land remediation, event spaces and the pursuit of Olympic legacy

    Open AccessJ R Gold, Margaret M Gold et al.ARTICLEGeography Compass2020Cited by: 1References: 75

    This paper explores the links between remediating land for Olympic event spaces and the pursuit of legacy. In particular, it considers ways in which redevelopment of the sizeable spaces prepared for staging the event take their place in broader strategies intended to bring long-term benefits to the host city and society in order to compensate for the costs and inconvenience originally incurred in hosting the Games. There are six main sections. Th…

  • City of Culture

    Cities have always been centers of culture and cultural creation, and in recent years cities have recognized the instrumental potential of culture in addressing social and economic change. This entry considers one of the most influential programs to utilize culture in the service of urban strategy: the City of Culture project initiated by the then European Community in 1985, renamed the European Capital of Culture in 2005 and scheduled to last un…

    Open AccessJ R Gold, Margaret M Gold et al.ARTICLERural History1996References: 5

    The ‘land question’ occupies a central role in the history of Highland Scotland. The system of estate ownership and tenure introduced in the aftermath of the battle of Culloden (1746) commodified the land as private possession. In its wake came mass evictions of tenants in large-scale ‘Clearances’ designed to convert crofting-lands to other agrarian or sporting uses. During the main period of Clearances (1780–1855), protest by the crofters remain…

    Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality technologies are embraced by designers, scholars and charities alike, some primarily for their entertaining properties, others also for the opportunities in education, motivation or persuasion. Applications with the latter objective, that of persuasion, are designed not only to be entertaining, but are also designed (or framed) to shape how players think and feel about issues in reality. However, despite the g…
