Problematization and policy responses to youth (out)migration in small and medium-sized industrial towns
Underestimated and not well covered by academic literature, youth outmigration in small and medium-sized industrial towns and regions is a pressing development issue. As a highly selective process, it is often layered by gender and education, which calls for a better understanding and improved policies to be devised. Drawing on a mixed-method research approach, this article analyses two European case studies. It reveals a lack of integrated and c…
Superblocks between theory and practice
The concept of Superblocks has been recognized as a promising urban transformational intervention. With the concept evolving, spreading, and being adapted to different contexts, it is necessary to take stock of the situation. The article aims to clarify the Superblocks concept through an e-Delphi process and test the theoretical framework against ongoing implementations in Vienna and Berlin. Experts’ opinions show that the concept has retained tr…
From a mining town to a town of industrial multinationals
The article examines the transformation of a mining town to an industrial powerhouse by focusing on relations between specific agents and assets in the community. The objectives of this research are 1) to outline how human agency in a mining town mediated key transformation events, 2) to identify skills or specific capabilities of these agents which enacted changes, and 3) to recognize which (mining-related) assets were used or altered in the pro…
A spatial analysis of public transport accessibility in Slovenia
This article analyses the accessibility of public transport in Slovenia in terms of the proximity of stops and trip frequency. By combining the Central Population Register with data on the provision of public transport services, geographic information systems were used to calculate the share of the population living within a 500 and 1,000 m radius from stops with a basic number of daily trips. The spatial differences in accessibility were analyse…
Prostorska analiza dostopnosti javnega potniškega prometa v Sloveniji
Prispevek analizira dostopnost javnega potniškega prometa ( JPP) v Sloveniji glede na oddaljenost postajališč od prebivališč in pogostnost voženj. S povezovanjem podatkov iz Centralnega registra prebivalcev in podatkov o ponudbi JPP smo z geografskim informacijskim sistemom izračunali delež prebivalstva, ki živi v 500- in 1000-metrski oddaljenosti od postajališč z zadevnim številom dnevnih voženj. Avtorji so analizirali prostorske razlike v dosto…
Clash of Two Identities
This article examines the contemporary industrial semiotic landscape in the town of Velenje, Slovenia, to determine the (positive or negative) collective imaginaries and discourses about industry in the local community. To this end, the semiotic landscape is mapped for signs and symbols of past and present industry, 33 randomly selected short interviews are conducted to understand the residents’ attitudes towards industrial symbols and industrial…
Industrial culture as an agent of social innovation
Industrial towns are often framed as marginalized and less innovative compared with service-oriented urban agglomerations. Their specific trajectories create both opportunities and constraints for new concepts, such as social innovation. However, little is known about their innovative capacity in relation to societal and cultural norms and social capital. The objective of this article is therefore to analyse the capacity of an industrial town to …
Forgotten values of industrial city still alive
In the last two decades, the creative city agenda has evolved into a predominantly neoliberal policy instrument, which seems to hide rather than reduce urban inequalities characterised by gentrification, unaffordability, precariousness, and segregation. Scholars have only recently started to search for alternatives for understanding and developing the creative city of today by highlighting the usefulness of older concepts of urban development. Ho…
