Transit-driven resilience: Unraveling post-Covid-19 urban recovery dynamics
Transit-oriented communities (TOCs), characterized by compact, walkable designs and convenient access to public transportation, have historically been inclusive, resilient, and desirable places to reside. The global COVID-19 pandemic disrupted established transportation patterns, reshaping neighborhood activity and potentially altering the appeal of TOCs. This study examines the resilience of neighborhoods surrounding subway stations in Toronto p…
Assessing downtown recovery rates and determinants in North American cities after the Covid-19 pandemic
North American downtowns are struggling to recover from the global COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to investigate the varying rates of recovery experienced by downtown areas in the 66 largest cities of the United States and Canada. Leveraging Location-Based Services data extracted from mobile phone location trajectories, we assess the recovery rates in the 2023 post-pandemic period, juxtaposed against pre-pandemic 2019 levels. We find signific…
Do rail transit stations transform hosting neighbourhoods? Comparative evidence from high-income and low-income neighbourhoods in Tehran
The potential roles of rail transit investment have been extensively investigated in urban development and management processes. Applying the difference-in-differences model based on a longitudinal data set (2006–2016), this article presents comparative analysis of the surrounding neighbourhoods of four Tehran Metro Rail System (TMRS) stations in order to explain how neighbourhoods can be differently affected by the development of railway station…
Socio-spatial transformation of neighbourhoods around rail transit stations: An experience from Tehran, Iran
While increasing evidence suggests that rail infrastructure plays a structuring role in shaping and transforming cities and regions over time, empirical studies on the simultaneous development of rail infrastructure and socio-spatial transformation of surrounding neighbourhoods, especially at a local scale, are scarce. The main aim of the article is to evaluate the transformation of neighbourhoods around rail transit stations, as well as provide …
Rail transit station and neighbourhood change: A mixed-method analysis with respect to neighbourhood context
Commercial gentrification and neighbourhood change: A dynamic view on local residents' quality of life in Tehran
Kakovost življenja v soseskah, ki se prenavljajo: Primer iranskega mesta Mašad
Propadanje mestnih predelov je eden najbolj perečih izzivov v razvoju mest, zaradi katerega se stara mestna območja spopadajo z resnimi družbenimi, gospodarskimi in prostorskimi težavami. Mestne uprave zato izvajajo projekte prenove, s katerimi želijo oživiti in obnoviti objekte, območjem povrniti družbenogospodarsko zmogljivost in izboljšati kakovost življenja njihovih prebivalcev. Neupoštevanje kompleksnosti prostorskih posegov v stare mestne p…
Quality of life in neighbourhoods undergoing renewal: Evidence from Mashhad, Iran
Urban decay is one of the most critical challenges in urban development, whereby old urban districts fall into decrepitude and face serious social, economic, and physical problems. Governments thus implement renewal projects to revitalize physical and functional structures, restore socioeconomic capacity, and improve residents' quality of life. However, ignoring the complex nature of intervention in old urban areas may have undesirable consequenc…
Urban Renewal Mega Projects and Residents’ Quality of Life: Evidence from Historical Religious Center of Mashhad Metropolis
The effect of Tehran metro rail system on residential property values: A comparative analysis between high-income and low-income neighbourhoods
Estimating the effect of rail transit on residential property values has resulted in mixed findings. Some researchers report positive effects on property values while others are negative or insignificant. The current paper argues that the impact of rail transit on property values depends on contextual factors which can influence magnitude and direction of the impact and cause variation in the findings. Tehran’s Metro Rail System is chosen because…
