Bundling up actions to electrify
Policymakers in cities in the United States of America (U.S.) must tailor the right bundle of policies to promote the diffusion of battery electric vehicles (BEVs). We investigate the interplay of (non-)monetary incentives on U.S. state, city and utility-related policy levels. For doing so, we deploy fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) of BEV policies in 16 cities in the U.S. to identify policy configurations that promote BEV uptak…
Unlocking patterns in urban land use efficiency
Land use efficiency has emerged as a critical consideration for urban sustainability, but its underlying drivers remain insufficiently explored at the global scale. This paper addresses this gap by combining XGBoost and Bayesian Networks to identify and model the principal factors influencing urban land use efficiency worldwide. XGBoost isolates key drivers and quantifies their effects, Bayesian Networks provide a probabilistic framework for capt…
Green gentrification
To contribute to the understanding of green gentrification, this study aims to elucidate the factors that contribute to its occurrence or non-occurrence following urban greening, by considering necessary and sufficient factors. The investigation examines several potential characteristics, including the distribution, size, function, transportation connectivity, neighbourhoods' centrality, and pre-existing availability of green spaces within neighb…
Towards a Territorialisation of the Circular Economy
In response to the environmental challenges of the linear economy, cities increasingly embrace the circular economy (CE) as a sustainable alternative. In the Netherlands, where circularity is a national priority, Rotterdam provides a compelling case to examine how an urban CE transition can take shape. Unlike the extensively studied Amsterdam, Rotterdam offers a contrasting perspective as a city with a growing economy and industrial character. Ye…
Balancing urban conservation and (re)development
Urban conservation and (re)development can be conflicting or balanced.Governments' dual role in conserving cultural heritage and promoting development makes balancing the urban conservation -(re)development relationship a dynamic process.After coding the policy documents issued by China's governments from 1906 to 2023 with the conceptual framework of layering, the following conclusions are drawn: (1) core policies promote the development of the p…
Identifying modes of managing urban heritage
This article presents a systematic literature review on urban heritage. It analyses (a) how urban heritage is conceptualized and interpreted in academic research, (b) urban heritage management modes. This literature review interprets urban heritage as a resource, collective memory, and space. It categorizes urban heritage management practice into six management modes according to stakeholders' collaboration levels: community-led, expert-coordinat…

The gradual modifications in water management systems, structures, and institutions are increasingly associated with the concept of institutional inertia, which serves as a valuable perspective for understanding resistance to change. New Orleans was …
How different can smart cities be? A typology of smart cities in China
China, renowned for being one of the world's largest smart city testing fields, has witnessed the emergence of numerous smart cities. Existing publications highlight the diversity in smart city development, wherein cities with different contexts and institutional factors exhibit distinct characteristics. To delve deeper into this subject, we employed a mixed methods approach to classify 49 Chinese smart cities and subsequently developed a typolog…
Securing the future
The paper develops an operational approach, adapting elements of Multi-Level Perspective (MLP), Technological Innovation System (TIS) and Social Practice Theory (SPT), to examine the influence of key factors driving and hindering the transition to an alternative-protein food system in Singapore. The results of the analysis are that landscape factors such as climate change, food security and COVID-19 are exerting pressure on the food production re…

What is the impact of smart city development? Empirical evidence from a Smart City Impact Index
Smart cities aim to provide benefits such as economic prosperity, environmental sustainability, and high quality of life to their citizens. However, we do not have a comprehensive understanding of how and to what extent these benefits are realized. This paper aims to find empirical evidence of both positive and negative results of smart city development. Smart City Impact Index is developed with indicators in four pillars of sustainability (econo…

Adapting Urban Light-Rail Transport to the African Context
A contextual approach to Light-Rail Transport (LRT) needs to be tailored towards specific contexts, in terms of situations or contingencies, such as socio-economic and environmental factors. This research intends to discuss the societal benefits comprised of well-informed contextual factors for policymakers and urban transport authorities, to enable them to be able to formulate objective policies for a city’s socio-economic development. The aim o…
The regulation of onsite sanitation in Maputo, Mozambique
Poor quality onsite sanitation causes drinking water contamination and diseases in cities in sub-Saharan Africa. In this article, we consider to what extent regulation reduces onsite sanitation-related health and environmental risks. We examined regulatory standards and how they are enforced in Greater Maputo, the capital of Mozambique. Standards for the construction of pit latrines and management of faecal sludge are incomplete. Reforms in the s…

The Quest for Good Urban Governance
This book demonstrates both successes and failures in attempts to get closer to the ideal of good urban governance in cities in North-America, Europe, and Asia. It presents a value menu and deliberately does not come up with "one best way" for improving urban governance. Good urban governance is presented as a balancing act, an interplay between government, business and civil society in which the core values need careful and timely attention. The…
