Do low-carbon cities hinder AI industry growth? Evidence from China
As a crucial initiative to accelerate the green transition and development, China’s Low-Carbon City Pilot Policy (LCCP) has raised questions about its compatibility with the energy demand and carbon implications of artificial intelligence (AI) industrial growth. This study treats the LCCP as a quasi-natural experiment and uses a staggered difference-in-differences (DID) framework to examine its relationship with urban AI industry development. The…
One city, two heats
Mapping hot routes and perceived landscape values of “City Walk” in Beijing’s historical neighbourhoods in the social media era
Social media has enabled individuals to grasp the fragmented characteristics of urban places through photos and videos before physically exploring them, generating new patterns of urban imagination and environmental experience verification. On Chinese social media platforms, posts tagged with #citywalk number in the hundreds of thousands, reflecting the widespread appeal of this emerging leisure trend. To investigate this phenomenon, 203 particip…

Mapping gender patterns in “dynamic cultural spaces”
Despite the growing recognition of the importance of street vendors and informal markets for urban life and the economy globally, research attention has tended to focus on essential products such as food or clothes and paid less attention to cultural products, such as antiques where potential gender, and other socio-demographic, differences in vending and buying behaviours may systematically differ. To explore these issues, this study employed sp…
Compact cities and the Covid-19 pandemic
A rhythmanalysis approach to understanding the vending-walking forms and everyday use of urban street space in Yuncheng, China
In Chinese cities, informal street vendors often appear in a transient space intertwined with a large number of pedestrians and heterogeneity, in contrast with the dichotomous construction of static built environment and dynamic street activity examined in most studies on walkability. This paper explores the rhythm of everyday street spaces and the temporary experiences of pedestrians and street vendors in Yuncheng, China. The author argues that …
Time Distances to Residential Food Amenities and Daily Walking Duration
Recent studies indicate the accepted concept of using land-use mix (LUM) to promote physical activity is ineffective and even counteractive in the Chinese context. Before considering LUM as a whole, different amenity types need to be respectively analyzed in relation to various functions and demands. This study aims to examine the specific associations between food-related amenities and perceived daily walking duration (WD) in small Chinese citie…
Physical activity and Covid-19
Physical activity (PA) is known to be a protective lifestyle factor against several non-communicable diseases while its impact on infectious diseases, including Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is not as clear
Everyday use of urban street spaces
In contemporary Chinese cities dynamic street vendors are a common presence, frequently occupying spaces where many people regularly walk, leading to functional changes to the streets. This research aim was to examine the everyday use of urban streets at a micro-scale, to explore spatio-temporal relations between the fixed built environment and the ways in which vendors and pedestrians co-produce walkable space and walking behaviours over time. U…
Exploring the Associations of Walking Behavior with Neighborhood Environments by Different Life Stages
Because of high population density and rapid urbanization, different human life stages have distinct growth experiences, leading to different lifestyles and age-spatial separation in the same neighborhood environment, particularly in smaller Chinese cities. The relationship of environment to physical activity may differ from western or larger Chinese cities. This study examined the associations of walking duration to the neighborhood environment …
Everyday Use of the City Cemetery
As the number of historical urban cemeteries where interment is no longer available continues to grow, the everyday use and restorative benefit of these spaces (beyond commemoration and remembrance) is worthy of further exploration. This study primarily investigates the everyday use of two historical urban cemeteries in Edinburgh through behavioural observation (N = 185). We also explore further the relationships between cemetery qualities and pe…
