Value struggles in the foundational economy: Reclaiming marketplaces as foundational infrastructure
This paper brings a renewed focus on value struggles to foundational economy research through a study of UK marketplaces. The Foundational Economy (FE) refers to the essential goods and services that support everyday life – food, housing, health care, education, transport and utilities. The marketplace, where people meet to buy and sell fresh food and other household products, was central to the municipal-led first phase of foundational economy i…
Comparative Morphology of Postcranial Bones of Subulo gouazoubira and Ozotoceros bezoarticus: A Guide for Archeological and Paleontological Identification
Two species of Neotropical deer currently inhabit Uruguay: the pampas deer ( Ozotoceros bezoarticus ) and the gray brocket deer ( Subulo gouazoubira ). Both have medium‐sized body ranges and similar postcranial osteology. This similarity complicates their taxonomic assignment in fragmentary paleontological and zooarcheological assemblages in Uruguay and other regions of South America. Accurate identification of these deer remains in archeological…
Raising concerns on the dangers of linking biological invasions to human migration
(In)Alienable Worth? Cultural Logics of Dignity, Honor, and Face and their Links to Prosociality Across the World
Cultural logic is a set of cultural scripts and patterns organized around a central theme. The cultural logics of dignity, honor, and face describe different ways of evaluating a person’s worth and maintaining cooperation. These cultural logics vary in prevalence across cultures. In this study, we collaboratively develop and validate a measure capturing these cultural logics, which will allow us to map world cultures based on the prevalence of th…
High frequency of HPV high-risk preventable genotypes in Ecuadorian women with invasive cervical cancer
This study provides valuable insights into the distribution of HPV genotypes in invasive cervical cancer samples from Ecuadorian women. The results indicate an elevated presence of HPV 16, HPV 18, and HPV 58, which are vaccine-preventable genotypes
Gourmetización y gentrificación: Paisajes Alimentarios Desde La Ciudad Hasta El Campo
El presente artículo busca contribuir al desarrollo y consolidación de los estudios sobre la gourmetización y la gentrificación alimentaria, enfatizando los efectos que estos procesos tienen en ámbitos que exceden a la vida urbana. En ese marco, se propone recuperar los engranajes de la cadena de valor y sus localizaciones -desde los barrios gentrificados hasta las comunidades rurales agrícolas-, indicando los procesos de valorización y desvalori…

Contested marketplaces: Retail spaces at the global urban margins
This paper argues that retail spaces, such as marketplaces, are increasingly becoming sites of urban contestation. The globalisation of retail, online shopping and the redevelopment of cities has pushed marketplaces to the margins, but they still serve millions of people, particularly the urban poor. Concurrently, marketplaces are branded as authentic consumption experiences for tourists and residents. Building on these contradictions, I propose …
Nice apartments, no jobs’: How former villagers experienced displacement and resettlement in the western suburbs of Shanghai
In this paper, we document the displacement and resettlement of over 11,000 villagers who were removed from their homes and relocated in modern apartment blocks to make way for the construction of a new business district in the western suburbs of Shanghai. We examine the expectations and concerns of displaced residents before and after their relocation. Our findings showed that while the former villagers recognised the improvement in their physic…
Locating the global financial crisis: Variegated neoliberalization in four European cities
Locating the global financial crisis: variegated neoliberalization in four European cities. Territory, Politics, Governance. This paper looks at the variegated impact of the 2008 global financial crisis and the different ways in which local strategic actors imagined and responded to it through a comparative study of Barcelona, Brussels, Leeds and Turin. Drawing on cultural political economy, we see crisis moments as fertile territory for the anal…

The Return Home Program: Integrated health and social care for post-stroke patients
Introduction: Stroke represents the third cause of morbidity and mortality in adults, the first medical determinant of disability and the second of dementia. Around 50% of stroke survivors develop mobility limitations and disability in the activities of daily living (ADL). After a stroke, treatment aims include the recovery of the maximum possible independence and the promotion of social and working reinsertion, while reducing the risk of institu…
Looking comparatively at displacement and resistance to gentrification in Latin American cities
Taking the articles in this special issue as a starting point, this commentary makes an intervention in the debate surrounding postcolonialism, particularism, abstraction and theorisation. The author argues that critical urban studies can benefit from the comparative turn while still maintaining a theoretical compass with the ultimate aim to overcome urban injustices across the world. Indeed, critical comparative urban work, as displayed by the e…

Nuevas metodologías expositivas en museos
Lo que queremos conseguir es un estado de la cuestión sobre las nuevas metodologías que se emplean en los museos para conectar al espectador con la obra, qué herramientas usan y qué medios disponen para ello, a través del análisis y la observación. Nos enfrentamos pues, a una búsqueda relevante de información, que actualice algunos de los conceptos desfasados sobre cómo exponer a través de la investigación objetiva
Shanghai swings: The Hongqiao project and competitive urbanism in the Yangtze River Delta
That cities compete against each other is a cliché of the contemporary neoliberal condition, in which so much focus and energy is expended on a zero-sum-game of trying to outshine imagined rivals. In this article, we examine how this type of competition plays itself out in China, and more specifically in and around Shanghai, in the Yangtze River Delta. We argue that the competition here, principally for foreign and domestic inward investment, is …
Crisis and resilience in a finance-led city: Effects of the global financial crisis in Leeds
This paper looks at the impacts of the 2008 global financial crisis on Leeds, a medium sized city in northern England, which in the last decades has specialised in finance-related economic activities. Our aim is to understand if the largely neoliberal pre-crisis urban growth model pursued in Leeds, based significantly on real estate speculation, retail and finance, was put at risk by the crisis and whether a collective reflection by local leaders…
Gentrificación como política pública en una ciudad provincial: El caso de la ciudad de Leeds en el Reino Unido
This article analyses gentrifi cation processes in a mid-sized city in Northern England. This case study of Leeds helps us to "provincialize" the study of gentrifi cation by focusing on a city that is not at the center of global capitalism, but rather is a provincial city. Our aim is to capture the specifi cities of gentrifi cation in this city at the same time as contextualizing them in the wider frame of neoliberal urbanism. To do that we focus…
Traditional Retail Markets: The New Gentrification Frontier
This paper presents traditional retail markets in the UK caught between a narrative of decline and revival, on the edge of a gentrification frontier. Traditional indoor and outdoor markets have become somewhat residual in many British cities but essential for many low‐income citizens that rely on their affordability. At the same time, the market is being reinvented for a wealthier type of customer interested more in local, environmentally friendl…
Don't Waste a Crisis: Opening up the City Yet Again for Neoliberal Experimentation
This essay calls for a systematic investigation of the financial-economic crisis as a source of new urban governance rationalities across Europe. We propose combining an understanding of neoliberalization as a variegated social phenomenon with a cultural political economy approach sensitive to the discursive dimension of variegation and the evolutionary mechanisms through which discursive variation is translated into geo-institutional differentia…
Bilbao and Barcelona ‘in Motion’. How Urban Regeneration ‘Models’ Travel and Mutate in the Global Flows of Policy Tourism
This paper explores how the so-called Bilbao effect and Barcelona Model are diffused internationally through what may be called urban policy tourism: short trips made to Bilbao and Barcelona by policy-makers to learn from their regeneration in the past 15 years. The paper reveals for the first time the substantial extent of this practice and contextualises it within a wider phenomenon of urban policy transfer and the international ‘motion’ of urb…
The North/South divide in Italy and England: Discursive construction of regional inequality
Despite the entrenched and long-term nature of the Italian and English North/South divide, this has not always been considered a relevant scale at which to redress spatial inequalities. To explain this apparent conundrum, this paper has two interlinked aims: (1) to investigate why, how, for whom and when the North/South divide is held to be a relevant ‘policy geography’ and (2) to explain the accompanying debates about the internal geography of t…
Dis)connecting Milan(ese): Deterritorialised Urbanism and Disempowering Politics in Globalising Cities
This paper contributes to the debates on relational conceptualisations of space by focusing on how these notions are used by policy makers in particular governance contexts. It uses the example of Milan, where recent urban interventions and a particular fragmented governance structure demonstrate how overstated accounts of relationality can take hold in disempowering ways. It argues that, as Milan tries to become connected into the global flows o…
Community influence and the contemporary local state: Potentials and contradictions in the neo‐liberal city
This paper assesses contemporary power relations between the local state, capital and community interests in managing urban area development. It draws on work conducted under a Framework V EU project called SINGOCOM, focusing on one case among nine studied.-super-1 The case of the Ouseburn Valley in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, is mobilised to show how, despite comparatively well‐organised community interests, the local state and its approach to…
Introduction: Social Innovation and Governance in European Cities
This introductory article does three things. First, it compares neo-liberal and social innovation discourses about urban socio-economic change, including associated policies and key agencies. Second, it seeks to improve the analytical framework of urban development by combining `spatialized' Regulation Theory with elements from Cultural Political Economy and from Urban Regime Theory.Third, with the help of case-studies, the article illustrates ho…

Towards Alternative Model(s) of Local Innovation
This paper introduces a Special Topic on social innovation in the governance of urban communities. It also seeks to widen the debate on the meaning of social innovation both in social science theory and as a tool for empirical research on socioeconomic development and governance at the local level. This debate is organised around ALMOLIN-i.e. alternative models for local innovation as utilised in the SINGOCOM (social innovation in governance in (…
A Sociological Institutionalist Approach to the Study of Innovation in Governance Capacity
This paper draws on institutionalist approaches as developed in the fields of policy analysis and planning, to develop a methodological approach for assessing how the governance capacity for socially innovative action might emerge. After introducing the problematic of the search for governance relations which have the capacity for social innovation, the second and third parts of the paper summarise the emerging social-constructivist 'institutiona…

Scalar Narratives in Bilbao: A Cultural Politics of Scales Approach to the Study of Urban Policy
In this article I explore how theoretical metaphors about the contemporary rescaling of the capitalist economy are used by local policy actors to justify an entrepreneurial urban policy. I develop a new theoretical concept (scalar narrative), suggest an analytical approach (cultural politics of scales) and give evidence of a particular case (Bilbao). The article is structured in the following way. First, I briefly review the literature on politic…

A Reply to Beatriz Plaza’s ‘The Guggenheim‐Bilbao Museum Effect’
grateful to Beatriz Plaza for her interest and subsequent reply to her previous words. The current re-reply attempts to show that, while being an interesting approach to the Guggenheim effect, Beatriz Plaza’s reply does not address the crucial points related to the museum, stated in the original article. The article questioned whether urban strategies that focus on cultural infrastructure investment and place marketing were a good mechanism for s…

The role of the Guggenheim Museum in the development of urban entrepreneurial practices in Bilbao
The Guggenheim Museum has had many ‘effects’ on the lives of local citizens and politicians in Bilbao as well as on wider communities such as architects, planners, cultural policy-makers or museologists. This article, however, deals with the effect that the museum has had on the urban governance practices in Bilbao. Urban policy literature has clearly identified that contemporary cities are adopting an entrepreneurial approach to deal with increa…

The politics of the economic crisis and restructuring in the Basque Country and Spain during the 1980s
This paper argues that, in order to understand economic crises, we need to approach them in a multifaceted way and pay attention to the extra-economic elements. Economic crises, far from being irrevocably identifiable through objective indicators, are subject of multiple interpretations. Consequently, we need to pay attention to the perceptions of those key actors involved in taking decisions and study the policy-making processes during crises in…

Substantial native American female contribution to the population of Tacuarembó, Uruguay, reveals past episodes of sex‐biased gene flow
For many years it has been assumed that the population of Uruguay is almost exclusively European‐derived and that the biological contribution of the native population as well as of individuals of African descent is negligible. Several recent studies based on a variety of genetic markers, mostly morphological and serological markers, have produced quite a different picture of the constitution of the Uruguayan population. The Native American contri…
