Housing, poverty, and digital exclusion: The multiple ways in which digital inequalities and housing inequalities intersect
Given the importance of digital technologies in shaping everyday life, it is widely accepted that digital exclusion is a key facet of poverty. Relatedly, housing inequalities, and the broader structures of entrenched inequalities of which they are a part, are closely connected with digital exclusion. This paper draws on focus groups with people who have experience or knowledge of digital exclusion and the housing sector in the UK. It highlights h…
Territorial Stigma and Rent Gap Production: The Logics of Gentrification in Gresham and Middlehaven, Middlesbrough
Rent gap theory has long been a staple of gentrification studies, and given that gentrification and territorial stigma have been shown to be closely related, the distinct ways in which the rent gap operates in territorially stigmatised spaces demands attention. This paper examines how governance approaches within territorially stigmatised spaces shape the particular ways in which rent gaps are opened. It illustrates how the rent gap theory has op…
Formal and informal dimensions of housing allocation: Housing actors and gatekeepers of low-income migrants’ access to housing in the Bronx, New York City
It is recognised that migrants’ access to housing in destination cities is shaped by a number of factors. This paper takes as its focus the processes of housing allocation for low-income West African migrants in the Bronx, New York City. Drawing on 37 semi-structured interviews with housing providers and intermediary organisations that perform housing-related functions, the paper builds upon literature on migration industries and informal housing…
Towards a co-creative stakeholder engagement in Smart City projects: A life-cycle approach
Engaging stakeholders to co-create Smart Cities is an aspiration for many city governments.However, existing stakeholder engagement frameworks tend to be technologically deterministic from the outset, leaving no room for meaningful cocreation.This paper proposes a framework for engaging stakeholders in Smart City development without presuming an already existing technology which stakeholders must accept.The framework follows the life-cycle approa…
Shaping smart cities: Problem framing, vertical selection and governance in UK smart cities
As urban governments adopt smart city strategies for delivering services, the need to understand how – and in whose interests – these strategies are formed is imperative. The selection of smart city verticals (or areas of focus for smart city programs) within processes of urban governance has implications for which aspects of the urban agenda become prioritized. Through a study of seven UK smart cities, the paper investigates the framing of city …
Digital exclusion and poverty in the UK: How structural inequality shapes experiences of getting online
Digital exclusion and poverty are understood to be closely linked, and existing literature on the topic makes clear that the contexts of people's lives shape their experiences of digital exclusion in important ways. Indeed, the online and offline aspects of life are in many regards inextricable. As such, this paper focuses on the complex relationship between digital exclusion and poverty, and examines how a range of spatial, material, and tempora…
The ethical underpinnings of Smart City governance: Decision-making in the Smart Cambridge programme, UK
As Smart Cities have become more widespread, so too have concerns about their associated ethical issues. However, ethical debates in the current Smart City literature have tended to focus on issues related to the collection, processing, usage, storage and sharing of data. This paper argues that ethical debates should be extended to capture crucial decisions taken as part of Smart City governance, and the ethical references which underpin them. Us…
Demarginalising' a territorially stigmatised neighbourhood: The relationship between governance configurations and trajectories of urban change
Gentrification and territorial stigma are understood to be closely linked, yet the workings of the governance networks which underlay this relationship have seldom been explored in depth. This paper seeks to develop understandings of this relationship by showing how the interactions which occur in decision-making processes at the local level culminate in particular strategies for regeneration. It draws on interviews and document analysis to map o…
Homelessness Prevention through One-To-One Coaching: The Relationship between Coaching, Class Stigma, and Self-Esteem
Homelessness remains a prevalent issue, and estimates of the number of people without adequate shelter in the UK suggest that the issue is growing. This research draws on literature on the cognitive impact of poverty, stigma, and self-esteem to show how confidence is improved by coaching programmes with those at risk of homelessness. The paper is based on empirical research into one such programme which offers one-to-one guidance on the interlink…
Landscape change as a platform for environmental and social healing
Aotearoa New Zealand is characterised by dynamic landscapes. Major landscape‐altering events, such as earthquakes, floods, landslides and tsunami, have deeply influenced the relationships that many Māori, the Indigenous peoples of Aotearoa New Zealand, have with their ancestral landscapes. This work documents perspectives of landscape change from five Māori individuals from various iwi (tribes) and hapū (kin groups) around Aotearoa New Zealand, w…
