Efficacy and safety of undenatured collagen type II in modulating knee joint function in healthy and osteoarthritis subjects
Collagen has emerged as a potential pharmacotherapeutic intervention for knee osteoarthritis (OA). This study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of undenatured collagen type II among patients with knee OA and healthy subjects without joint-related disease but experiencing activity-related joint discomfort. Systematic literature search was conducted through PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane up to June 2024, and a total of 17 articles were included …
The production of extended local territory
A new trend has been emerging in China’s urban and regional politics, as it is becoming prevalent to extend one municipal authority to another, transcending boundaries, often through the establishment of joint development zones. These newly produced subnational territories are worth further attention to clarify the underlying political dynamics of China’s changing state space. This paper examines the Shenzhen–Shanwei Special Cooperation Zone in G…
Pluriversal urbanisms
ITY is opening up a platform for research and theory from and about places and topics that are, and researchers who are, under-and misrepresented in urban studies journals.For want of a satisfying and even joyful term that doesn't homogenise complexity or have an implied negative counterpart (e.g."Global South"; "majority world"), we are using the placeholder term of pluriversal urbanisms.Here we draw on recent works by Escobar (2018) and Blaser …
Overlooked cities
There is growing scholarly attention to secondary and intermediary cities as their relevance for global urban development is increasingly recognised. We call urban academics, scholars, policymakers and practitioners to situate debates on these cities critically with the notion of “overlooked cities” to understand how knowledge from such cities is produced, circulated and negotiated in urban research and practice. This commentary aims to foregroun…
Re‐arranging the urban
This intervention is by a collective of scholars working on various facets of urbanisation in Asia. Focusing on the notion of arrangements/re‐arrangements, it seeks to extend the consideration of urban politics as a matter of surges, a provisional consolidation of intensities, inhabitants and their practices, affiliations and orientations that give rise to continuously mutating forms of sense, care, and collective action. Whereas the work and eff…
Analysis of the impact of urban summer high temperatures and outdoor activity duration on residents' emotional health
The combined effect of global warming and the heat island effect keeps the temperature of cities rising in the summer, seriously threatening the physical and mental health of urban residents. Taking the area within the Sixth Ring Road of Beijing as an example, based on Landsat remote sensing images, meteorological stations, and questionnaires, this study established a relational model between temperature and hostility and then analyzed the change…
The performativity of the state in China’s land transformation
The micropolitics involved in urbanising land is yet to be well illustrated in urban and development studies. With the case of Dahongmen in Beijing, this paper explores the governing techniques for dealing with land transformation to uncover the nature and conduct of the state in weaving together land and urban questions. Recognising the power of discourses in enacting actions, this paper focuses on two performative moments of the state in reasse…
The porous urban
The urbanising dynamics of global China
The assembled papers in this special issue jointly explore the urban manifestation of “Global China” at different scales and involving diverse actors, discussing the ways in which the urban has been reconfigured by China’s global expansion and uncovering the differentiated modes of speculative and spectacular urban production at present. Observing from Ghana, India, Malaysia and China, these papers collectively make theoretical, methodological, a…
The Informal Constitution of State Centrality
As part of China's endeavour to modernize and internationalize its cities, it has repeatedly eliminated street markets and street vendors. But in the (post-)pandemic context, regulating street businesses inclusively turned out to be an efficient way to generate jobs that has been widely promoted. This turn reveals a new pattern in China's urban governance that might contribute to rethinking the state-informality nexus. In this article we draw on …

Moving the mountain and greening the sea
While green urbanism has been discussed extensively in the urban studies literature, less attention has been paid to the micropolitics of its cross-border transplantation. Using the case of Forest City, a mainland Chinese developer-led mega-project in the Iskandar Malaysia, we analyze the different ways green urbanism has been deployed in speculative city-making. The state seeks to position Iskandar Malaysia as greener than its global competitors…
Jiehebu or suburb? Towards a translational turn in urban studies
Engaging with reflections on improper urban vocabularies, this article proposes a translational turn to foreground dialogues—rather than equivalences—between languages. Drawing on the philosophies of language and hermeneutics, I adopt ‘the fusion of horizons’ as an alternative perspective to redefine translation where different languages encounter each other. To better capture global urban experiences, we should recognise the role of translation …
Whither progressive urban futures? Critical reflections on the politics of temporality in Asia
Compressed development experiences, especially in Asia, have translated into expectations for ‘fast cities’ where time and space are compressed to materialise ‘real’ Asia experiences. However, what does ‘fast urbanism’ mean for those who see Asian cites as reference points? Moreover, what does ‘fast urbanism’ mean for those who have living memories of such fast-paced development, and how might this be different for their future generations? This …
Folding Beijing in Houchangcun Road, or, the topology of power density
This paper engages with discussions on geographies of urban density by investigating the enduring power relations that underlie the (de-)forming of urban densities in Beijing. Articulating a topological framework with the infrastructural lives of socio-spatial reordering in Houchangcun Road, often being labelled “the most congested in the universe,” this paper presents how the authoritarian state manages to sustain its will to power/legitimacy an…
Regional Development
This entry seeks to review the main theoretical approaches to understanding regional development, with attention paid to the convergence–divergence debate and to policy implications. Several major regional development theories are discussed, including neoclassical growth and trade theories, endogenous growth theories, Keynesian theories, theories of structural changes, and new economic geography.
Space as method
Great urban transformations are diffusing across the global South, removing the original landscape of urban margins to make of them a new urban frontier. These processes raise questions of both validity and legitimacy for ethnographic practice, requiring critical reflection on both spatiality and method in fieldwork at the urban margins. This paper draws on fieldwork experience in Beijing’s green belts, which could also be labelled the city’s urb…
Association of coffee drinking with all-cause mortality
Objective We aimed to use the meta-analysis method to assess the relationship between coffee drinking and all-cause mortality. Design Categorical and dose–response meta-analyses were conducted using random-effects models. Setting We systematically searched and identified eligible literature in the PubMed and Scopus databases. Subjects Seventeen studies including 1 054 571 participants and 131 212 death events from all causes were included in the …
