From the Medellín miracle to the postponed city
Perceiving “city of proximity” beyond spatial closeness
Proximity-based planning has gained traction as a powerful concept for neighborhood planning and design in response to the mobility restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic—evidenced by the global enthusiasm for the 15-Minute City. However, deterministic strategies and objective measurements of physical proximity have left little room for understanding how people perceive a city of proximity, as well as their desires and needs. The present s…
Does proximity to public transport matter for planning X-minute cities? Insights from public perceptions
The emphasis on adapting infrastructure and neighborhood design to increase the number of people who walk and bike within self-sufficient neighborhoods has tended to dominate the growing literature on the X-minute city, often underestimating the role of public transport (PT) as a long-standing, sustainable travel mode for reaching destinations beyond the neighborhood. The present study explores how effective proximity to public transport faciliti…

Meal delivery platform use in adults living in Belgium
Meal delivery platforms are well-established in many urban areas worldwide, including Belgium. The increased access to meals prepared out-of-home that these services provide has contributed to international public health concern. Understanding consumers’ lived-experiences of meal delivery platform use will help inform the possible development of approaches to limit detrimental impacts on health and capitalise on opportunities to provide support. …
Operationalizing and navigating ambiguity – Land-making and fisherfolk negotiations in the land-water frontier of Karachi
This paper discusses how land and real estate development in Karachi's land-water frontiers operates through the calculated production and management of ambiguity. As in several other postcolonial cities, the natural coastline of Karachi is currently being reimagined as a waterfront development, fit for a “world-class” coastal city. However, this reclamation threatens its mangrove ecosystems and its deep-rooted fisherfolk communities. Based on th…
Food Business Owner Perspectives on Meal Delivery Platforms in Belgium
Reflecting global trends towards food retail digitalisation, meal delivery platforms such as Uber Eats have operated in Belgium since at least 2016. These platforms enable registered food businesses to sell ready‐to‐eat meals online. How such partnerships impact the function of food businesses in urban areas is poorly understood. This is critical given concerns that meal delivery platform business models support unfair levels of competition betwe…

Revisiting modal split as an urban sustainability indicator using citizen science
This paper discusses three uses of modal split indicators, and illustrates how it evolved from a technical, intermediate step in transport analysis, over a measure of transport system efficiency to a symbolic urban sustainable mobility indicator. A framework which includes 11 factors is presented and applied to the different uses of the modal split indicator. Besides the comparison of the three main uses of modal split in research and practice, t…
Is accessibility inequality morally relevant
Research on transportation and accessibility disadvantage provides normative frameworks to assess and remedy accessibility disadvantages. In this paper, we focus on the concept of sufficient accessibility by exploring the ethical concept of sufficientarianism, and addressing questions such as what people value and when people have “enough” of a particular good. We include local perspectives from an understudied location, Modesto, California, thro…
Unravelling the Concept of Social Transformation in Planning
This article argues that applying a polysemic understanding of the concept of ‘social transformation’, in which inclusion-, power-, and subjectification-oriented approaches to social transformation are all taken into account, provides a richer understanding of the transformative dynamics at work in contentious urban planning processes. We illustrate this argument through an empirical investigation of the transformative dynamics in the Oosterweel …
Port Economics in Search of an Audience
Economics and its sub-disciplines often developed in close relationship with its audiences. This paper examines the public life of one particular case, the idea of marginal social cost pricing for ports, by highlighting two key episodes. The first episode was the emergence of port pricing in the 1970s, when the academic concept found a willing ear at international organisations such as the World Bank. The idea of marginal cost pricing for ports r…
The political ambivalences of participatory planning initiatives
This article explores the relevance of combining multiple understandings of democratic politics to analyse the ambivalent and contentious dynamics of citizen participation in spatial planning. Building forth on the ongoing efforts in critical planning theory to overcome the deadlock between collaborative and agonistic oriented planning approaches, we argue for the refraining from ‘over-ontologising’ the question of democratic politics in planning…
Nature’s order? Questioning causality in the modelling of transport networks
Venture capital
Firm financing literature has been dominated by a relatively ‘undersocialized’ and ‘aspatial’ view. We approach this gap by applying a social capital and economic geography informed lens to financial transactions. We explore if and how the early growth performance of venture capital backed organizations varies with the structural and physical location of their investors in syndication networks. Drawing on longitudinal data of Belgian firms and th…
The Modal Split of Cities
Many transport planners and policy‐makers compare cities on the basis of travel behaviour or transport system characteristics. These comparisons are then used to promote cities as ‘cycling capitals’ or ‘public transport paradises’. However, data‐related and methodological issues make comparisons across cities difficult. This paper presents an alternative to the dominant atomistic‐residential perspective which takes a random sample of residents in…
