Just Inclusion Through Bottom-up Wellbeing Measurement
Multi-dimensional ‘wellbeing’ is used to assess micro-level development across Global South settings. We explore the added value of ‘wellbeing’ to understand urban marginality in a high-income context, and how a bottom-up approach can contribute to just development. From a study in Amsterdam, we conclude that (a) ‘wellbeing’ allows for comprehensive measurement of ‘development’ by inclusion of material, subjective and relational needs. These need…
Co-creation to measure what matters
Covid-19, poverty and inclusive development
The COVID-19 epidemic provides yet another reason to prioritize inclusive development. Current response strategies of the global community and countries expose a low level of solidarity with poorer nations and poorer people in all nations. Against this background, this paper addresses the question: What are the development challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic lays bare and what lessons can be learnt for the way recovery processes are designed? U…
Disrupting Risk Governance? A Post-Disaster Politics of Inclusion in the Urban Margins
Facing climate emergency and disaster risks, cities are developing governing arrangements towards sustainability and resilience. Research is showing the ambivalent results of these arrangements in terms of inclusion and (in)justice, as well as their outcomes in emptying the ‘properly political’ through depoliticised governing techniques. Acknowledging this post-political thesis, however, critical analyses must also engage with re-politicization a…
Planning for Exclusion
Many disaster risk reduction (DRR) initiatives, including land use planning, tend to ignore existing long-term inequalities in urban space. Furthermore, scholars working on urban disaster governance do not adequately consider how day-to-day DRR governing practices can (re)produce these. Hence, following a recent interest in the political dimensions of disaster governance, this article explores under what conditions the implementation of DRR land …
Access and allocation
An under-researched story is how large shareholders (e.g. Pension Funds) and investors (e.g. Export Credit Agencies) whose investments in fossil fuels may amount to trillions of dollars are implementing the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and in particular leaving fossil fuels underground (LFFU). Hence, this paper addresses the question: What arguments are used by shareholders and investors in making their financial flows consistent with LFFU, …
Keeping the business going
Flooding presents one of the main risks to contemporary and future cities, especially those in coastal zones. Given the social–political nature and construction of urban flood risks, it is of crucial importance to understand how such risks are experienced and addressed, and by whom. This article aims to contribute to this by focusing on a particular actor, i.e. entrepreneurs of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). It asks how SMEs experience, per…
Elaborating the urbanism in smart urbanism
Over the last decade, Smart City has increasingly become a popular urban policy approach of cities in both the Global North and Global South. Such approaches focus on digital and technology-driven urban innovation and are often considered to be a universal solution to varied urban issues in different cities. How Smart City policies operate in contemporary cities is being examined in the emerging, but still underdeveloped, academic field ‘smart ur…
Cost and value of stakeholders participation
Participation has been increasingly prioritized in environmental policy processes to achieve inclusiveness in development. The vast literature discusses the pros and cons of participation but does not provide much information on the actual costs and value of participation. Hence, this review paper addresses the question: what does the literature tell us about the costs and value of participation, the evolution of the concept, and how participatio…
Post-Colonial Trajectories in the Caribbean
This volume covers Caribbean states and territories that cross historical colonial boundaries, and also focuses on a Caribbean subregion that is mostly "off the map" in Caribbean (or Latin-American) writings.(See J. Gimlett's Wild Coast: Travels on South America's Untamed Edge [2011] for an exception.)As such it provides a valuable contribution to our knowledge of the individual Guianas, relations among them, and the region as a whole.The nine ch…

Big Data for Better Urban Life? – An Exploratory Study of Critical Urban Issues in Two Caribbean Cities
The Development of Paramaribo in the Second Half of the Century
Visitors to early twentieth-century Suriname would enter Paramaribo from the wharf in the Suriname River. Their first sight was the row of impressive colonial mansions along the Waterkant. Looking to their right, they would see Fort Zeelandia, located along Oranjeplein, the main city square. The tropical breeze would mitigate the colony’s oppressive humidity and motorized traffic was sparse. Since the 1960s, Zanderij airport, later renamed Johan …
Fighting the odds
Caregivers of disabled children face numerous challenges in meeting their child’s needs. Research on Zimbabwean caregivers of disabled children is limited. Yet the difficult socio-economic, political and institutional context is expected to complicate the caregiving task. This article examines the resources and caring strategies of female caregivers in Mutare, Zimbabwe, using a well-being framework. Through a mixed-methods approach, the data reve…
Rethinking Microentrepreneurship and Business Development Programs
Global urban development programmes and local realities in the Caricom-Caribbean
Bipolar antagonism and multipolar coexistence
This article proposes a new approach to urban geographies of fear, focusing on the connection between fear and cultural understandings and representations of difference. Much of the existing work on the relationship between fear, urban space, and social difference tends to take social difference as more or less given. In this article, we argue that how differences (such as ethnic, political or class differences) are framed has strong implications…
Paramaribo
Home-Based Economic Activities and Caribbean Urban Livelihoods
Poor urban households in the economic 'south' deploy various livelihood activities. One of these is a Home-Based Economic Activity (HBEA), e.g. sales of home-made snacks or car maintenance. This study examines the prevalence, organisation and relevance of HBEAs in four neighbourhoods in the Caribbean cities Paramaribo (Suriname) and Port of Spain (Trinidad and Tobago). Recent economic developments in these countries diverge; Suriname recovers slo…
Home-based economic activities, livelihoods and space in Paramaribo, Suriname
In this paper, home-based economic activities (HBEAs) in Paramaribo, Suriname, are investigated using a livelihoods framework. Due to its holistic outlook, the livelihoods approach offers opportunities to combine various concerns pertinent to the scholarly debate on the subject. The main focus of the paper is on the interconnectedness between HBEAs and space. Three dimensions of space are used to structure the discussion: its asset qualities, its…
