Urban regeneration is a challenging intervention, considering the multidimensional issues involved and the complexities of stakeholder collaborations. While prior research indicates the potential of digital technology in addressing these challenges and introducing novel approaches to urban...

This note has two main objectives. First, it highlights the critical need for low-carbon slum upgrading within city investments for climate mitigation. Second, it demonstrates that practical, affordable and adaptable low-carbon solutions for slum upgrading at the household level and neighborhood...

We provide an in-depth case study of land use reforms in Seattle to highlight how redevelopment of aging single-family housing to townhomes can lead to a significant increase in market-rate housing that promotes affordability. The key is to allow market forces to use by-right zoning to drive...

Prosocial organizations represent key actors in the quest to promote positive change, foster social impact, and revitalize cities. Notwithstanding their importance in tackling the increasing challenges threatening our society (e.g., pollution, socio-economic inequalities), these actors may not...

Demand externality generated by the agglomeration of commercial activities is a potential source of city formation. We study the impact of a large-scale urban redevelopment program involving the construction of a shopping complex at the center of Tokyo. The redevelopment program increased the...

In recent decades, cities have faced numerous problems related to the accelerated process of urbanization, which leads to ecological, spatial and social consequences. At the same time, globalization destroyed productive activities and created structural problems related to unemployment. For...

The paper examines a paradigmatic example of post-conflict economic development of Vukovar, Croatia. It represents a pertinent case study for localities encountering analogous challenges, most notably urban areas in Ukraine in the near future. The war that broke out in 1991 brought significant...

Urban voids and leftover spaces challenge the urban development of cities and result in land vacancy and other spatial planning issues. Such spaces have great potential for innovative intervention through piece-by-piece sustainable urban design and small-scale actions to foster livability and...

Community renewal is of great practical significance in improving the quality of life of urban residents and promoting sustainable urban development. This study adopts the case analysis method, taking the community renewal practice of Xinqingyayuan in Xi'an as an example, to systematically...

Due to their negative effects on surrounding neighborhoods, some countries have gradually been replacing distressed public housing developments with mixed-income housing. This paper studies the effects of such policies on local housing markets in London (UK), where local authorities demolished...

This paper studies one of the largest spatially targeted redevelopment efforts implemented in the United States: public housing demolitions sponsored by the HOPE VI program. Focusing on Chicago, we study welfare and racial disparities in the impacts of demolitions using a structural model that...

The housing problem in Ghana is varied and diverse, made worse by the prevailing dominance of the compound house phenomenon. The compound house by its nature has been found to be inadequate in terms of fulfilling the needs of inhabitants when it comes to adequacy of amenities and sufficiency of...

The separation of carbon dioxide (CO2) from flue gas is a highly energy-intensive operation and requires a large capital investment. In a post-combustion capture system, the process takes place in two stages: CO2 is captured from the flue gas using chemical solvents or sorbents, and it is...

Redevelopment of Chinese urban villages may or may not happen and may or may not take a long time. To explain the variation, I identify two types of redevelopment approaches: autonomous and collaborative. In autonomous approaches, villagers operate independently and rely on norms and extralegal...

Why do some cities adopt practices meant to resolve social and environmental problems faster and more extensively than others? Existing theories of diffusion emphasize administrative adoption, which reduces cities to monolithic actors with binary outcomes. But a plethora of public and private...

Quite apart from the diversity of situations in small and medium-sized towns, stabilising their town centres is a major challenge. In both countries, town centres have been weakened by commercial changes, a decline in the supply of services and transformations in lifestyles. They are...

Amidst the catastrophe of COVID-19, segments of the population globally experienced changes in their perspectives on life and the desire to live a more fulfilling life.

In the current research we aim to analyse the public redevelopment projects financed in Hungary from the Territorial and Settlement Development OP between 2014 and 2020, with special focus on cultural use. Brownfield redevelopment is a major topic in an urban development context from an urban...

The measurement of urban streetscape quality facilitates the identification of street regeneration. The emerging Street View image and semantic segmentation have recently proven assistance for investigating urban spatial quality. However, current studies using Google Street View (GSV) cannot...

I use mixed-income public housing regenerations in London as a natural experiment to identify how schools affect low-income students’ educational achievement when affluent households flow into their neighborhood. I compare student achievement in schools of the same neighborhood located at...
