Outdoor Thermal Comfort of Older People in Vulnerable Urban Areas in a Warming World
Amid growing concerns over global warming, ensuring the outdoor thermal comfort (OTC) of public urban spaces is crucial for creating liveable and resilient cities. This study focused on the intensification of the urban heat island (UHI) effect and the heat stress experienced by the vulnerable older population. Evidence was found through the case study in a highly vulnerable area of Porto, with a high ageing ratio. The primary aim was to assess th…
Housing governance and the myth of decentralization
This article analyzes how the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) reshapes housing governance in the EU, using Portugal’s unprecedented housing allocation as a critical case revealing structural Europeanisation dynamics. Despite housing’s national competence, RRF’s centralized performance-based model exerts profound influence through milestone compliance over domestic governance arrangements. The research utilizes a multifaceted approach, inco…
Participatory Methods to Support Climate Adaptation for Older Adults Living in Vulnerable Urban Areas
Urban environments and climate-related challenges impact older adults' health and well-being. To address these challenges, climate adaptation strategies and urban design guidelines should be tailored to older adults' needs. Ethnographic studies can help identify these needs by involving them directly in the research process. This study uses ethnographic research to explore older adults' perceptions and behaviours regarding climate change risks an…
The limits of right-sizing
Right-sizing is becoming an increasingly relevant topic within the burgeoning literature on shrinking cities, specifically as a means for cities to cope with population loss. It encompasses various measures, such as demolishing vacant housing, consolidating urban development, and reusing vacant land for community gardens. Right-sizing promises to reduce financial concerns and increase quality of life. However, several studies have pointed out the…
Shrinking Cities for Economic Growth? Insights From the Housing Sector
This research focuses on examining how the pursuit of economic growth can contribute to urban shrinkage. In contrast to the prevalent definition of urban shrinkage that links population loss to insufficient levels of economic growth, this study examines the case of Coimbra, Portugal, where something different is happening. We hypothesise that Coimbra experiences population loss due to urban policies that promote economic growth through housing sp…
Nature-based solutions in spatial planning and policies for climate change adaptation
Nature-based solutions (NbSs) are recognised as relevant to spatial planning in addressing societal challenges, although their uptake is limited and fragmented to some case studies, and difficulties emerge from their implementation and operationalisation. The research developed a literature review to investigate how NbS has been considered for its implementation and operationalisation in spatial planning and how NbS has been included across diffe…
Europeanisation in the Field of Housing
Housing has been, and continues to be, a central concern of economic, geographical and political research, as well as of social debates. It is worth noting that the European Union (EU) does not possess exclusive or shared competence in the field of housing. Rather, its influence is the result of policies in other areas. Building on the call in the literature to examine both Europeanisation and housing studies, we present and discuss the areas of …
Exploring the affective dimension in citizen science to support urban climate adaptation
Despite the urgent need to take action on climate adaptation, public engagement remains relatively low. This low engagement poses significant challenges to the effective adaptation process, highlighting the need for innovative approaches in governance. In this paper, we explore the importance of the affective dimension in enhancing citizen engagement in climate adaptation. Drawing from a review of recent literature, we identify the primary challe…
The influence of EU policy on local policy-making, governance and urban change. Evidence from Porto, Portugal
Porto has long been a site of experimentation in the field of European urban policies, implemented through different initiatives and supported by EU funding. The paper describes the different urban regeneration experiences that have been undertaken by the city, analyses the nature of the policy instruments which have been implemented, and in what ways they relate to local policy-making, governance and development. What emerges from this analysis …
Income Inequality Trends in sub-Saharan Africa
Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) recorded a remarkable economic performance in the first 15 years of the 21st century. Such an encouraging trend, which reversed the stagnation or decline of the prior 25 years, was accompanied by a perceptible, modest, but uneven decline in aggregate poverty, together with substantial cross-country variation in the poverty-reducing power of growth. This is reflected in, and partially driven by, the variation of inequality…

Toward a food secure future
Anatomy of the Global Food Crisis
Dramatic food price increases affected much of the developing world in 2008. Even as food prices have begun to relax in 2009, this trend is highly uneven across countries, and in many countries local food prices remain high relative to past levels. Furthermore, the challenge of addressing the root causes of the global food crisis remains. This paper contributes to the policy discussions in this area by offering a preliminary diagnostic of the pos…
Partnership Diversity and Governance Culture
Debates on urban regeneration highlight the processes of mobilisation of public and private agents and the diversity of models of partnership. This paper focuses on the relationship between the diversity of partnerships and the processes of institutional change, and discusses the role played by governance culture. By looking at the case of Portugal, it explores a plurality of episodes of policy experimentation and actor—network practices. The res…

Constraints on dematerialisation and allocation of natural capital along a sustainable growth path
Innovation, Competence Building and Social Cohesion in Europe
It is almost universally accepted that we are moving increasingly towards an information society, where knowledge and learning are the new currency of power. This book seeks to challenge this axiom by looking in more detail at the subtle relationships between knowledge and social development. The editors are at pains to differentiate the process of knowledge creation from the simple accumulation of knowledge. The original contributions within thi…
A new environmental Kuznets curve? Relationship between direct material input and income per capita
Inequality and Unemployment in Europe
There is a common view that unemployment in Europe is attributable to rigid wage structures, high minimum wages, and generous social welfare systems. In fact, countries that possess the low inequality such systems produce tend to experience less unemployment than those that do not. We show that inequality and unemployment are related positively across the European continent, within countries, between countries, and through time. Large intercountr…

Inequality and Unemployment in Europe
What is the relationship between inequality and unemployment? This question is perhaps the most important issue in the political economy of Europe, and it has relevance for other regions with developing transnational ties, including the United States and the North American region
