Integrating the SDGs Into Urban Renewal Practices
Implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) presents a unique opportunity for collective action across various spatial scales. At the local level, programs to revitalize vulnerable neighborhoods offer significant potential to contribute to the SDGs. In Germany, the “Soziale Stadt/Sozialer Zusammenhalt” (Social City/Social Cohesion) funding program supports municipalities in promoting sustainable development in these areas. However, ther…
Residential Mobility Decisions of Anglophone Migrants in Douala, Cameroon
What are the drivers for domestic migration and intra-urban mobility in a Sub-Sahara African context? This study analyses this aspect by looking at residential mobility decisions of Anglophone migrants in Douala. The paper presents factors that influenced migrants to move to, within and out of Douala, as well as what made them decide to stay. Based on a framework of drivers of migration (Black et al., 2011), these factors are analysed at macro-, …
Unwritten Agreements on the Daily Urban Governance of Open Public Spaces
Open public space (OPS) shapes and defines cities. These spaces support public service provision and facilitate public life by providing opportunities for activities and interactions. As a common good shared among inhabitants, decision-makers, and landowners, OPS creates a stage where they can perform their non-private lives on a daily basis. The outcomes of negotiations and compromises between different actors impact social welfare. In many citi…

A Catalyst for Innovation? A Conceptual Framework for Analyzing the Potential of Urban Experiments to Transform Urban Planning Practices
Urban experimentation is increasingly seen as a means to facilitate (social) innovation and to promote sustainability transitions. However, whether and how novel approaches developed in local experiments get adopted and contribute to changes in the municipal planning practice has been insufficiently investigated and theorized. This article develops a conceptual framework to study the ‘innovation potential’ of urban experiments for urban planning.…
Relationship between sense of place and co-creation process
Understanding residential mobility
Residential mobility in a Sub-Saharan African (SSA) context is substantially different from in the Global North. This paper provides three position statements to substantiate this claim. The first relates to residential mobility dynamics and posits that in SSA they are characterized by a much more transient and mobile population who frequently move to, from, between and within urban areas. Secondly, formal mechanisms that enable access to decent …
Micro-credit vs. Group savings – different pathways to promote affordable housing improvements in urban Bangladesh
Community Resilience and Placemaking through Translocal Networking. Learning from Thailand and the Philippines
Research on community resilience has historically focused strongly on the local features of communities which in support of and display resilient behaviour in times of stress and in the face of a range of shocks. However, the argument presented in this paper is that both prior organisation — often within the realm of public space belonging to a community — and connectivity beyond the locality which reaches the international level, need to be take…

De la mise à mort des malades au génocide
On Heinrich Himmler’s initiative, the “euthanasia programme” was extended to include the concentration camps in April 1941. The aim of “Operation 14f13” was the murder of physically and mentally ill inmates, i.e. those unable to work. Other unwanted inmates soon became the target of this campaign, too. Until April 1943, at least 10,000 concentration camp prisoners were transferred to T4 killing centers, where they were suffocated with carbon mono…
