The article analyses the development and evolution of the punk music scene in Hollywood mostly composed of expatriates coming from different states in the U.S, from L.A.’s outer suburbs and from overseas. Methodologically, I used interviews with the scene's main participants to document the key bands' trajectories and to identify elements that facilitated the emergence of the scene. To study the influence of local factors vs translocal factors, I considered Crossley's (2009) approach in his analysis of scenes and his attention to participants' networks. The article makes a distinction between what is ‘local’ in music scenes and elements associated to the trans-local dimension of scenes in the pre-internet age. In conclusion, given the positioning of Los Angeles as a World City and not being one of the birthplaces of American music, the influence of translocal factors in shaping the Hollywood punk scene was high. However, local factors such as the availability of venues for punk shows and the inputs of Mexican American artists coming from East L.A. enabled this short-lived music cluster to develop a specific brand of punk characterised notably by musical hybridization between punk and American roots music.

Economic residential segregation is the separation of social groups in different areas of a city according to their income level. Neighborhoods have their urban characteristics or attributes. Active attributes can limit or improve access to goods or services, functionalities, or capabilities required to meet citizens' needs. This article focuses on economic diversity as an active attribute. Economic diversity is understood as the number of different types and sizes of companies represented in the same territory. Traditionally, urban planning has had two main views on economic diversity within neighborhoods. On the one hand, the proposal of the “right to the city” considers that economic diversity is an active attribute that promotes residents' access to goods and services, functionalities, and capacities to escape poverty. On the other hand, for the theory of functionalism, economic diversity is an active attribute that prevents income from improving. This article explores the relationship between the economic diversity score and vulnerability, taking the city of Quito as a case study. After calculating, mapping, and establishing the relationships between the two variables by neighborhood, it is concluded that economic diversity is an active attribute of Quito due to residential segregation and can limit the income and ability of residents of marginalized communities to escape poverty.

This study explores cultural development strategies in medium-sized cities in Poland, aiming to identify their types and evaluate their application in the context of post-socialist transformations. The typology proposed by Grodach and Loukaitou-Sideris was adapted for the Polish context. Findings reveal a predominantly progressive approach, emphasizing support for local communities and cultural production, alongside partial adoption of entrepreneurial strategies aimed at city promotion and tourism. A new strategy type, ‘cultural identity rejuvenation’ (CIR), is introduced. It is characteristic of medium-sized post-socialist cities in Central and Eastern Europe and reflects activities such as revitalizing city centers, constructing cultural facilities, and promoting local heritage. The study illustrates that while these cities try to adopt Western models of cultural strategies, the evolution of their cultural sector is profoundly shaped by their socialist heritage and systemic transformation challenges. The findings highlight the pivotal role of cultural strategies in driving social transformation and economic growth.

This paper researches the mechanisms generating inequalities in the music and games sectors using the Global Production Network approach. It explores where, how and in what form inequalities are found in the music and games sectors through the examination of three case studies. By unpacking the structure and dynamics of the production network of each case study, it identifies power imbalances and how inequalities are created through different power relations. Three types of inequalities are discussed, namely market access, gender and intersectionality, and working conditions. The paper also showcases the importance of the GPN perspective for the CCS: GPN enables a holistic understanding of inequalities in different phases of CCS in a detailed and causal way which can, in turn, facilitate the adoption of policies and measures that address all phases of the production network rather than concentrating in just one.

What is nocturnal about night studies? Insights from Turin, Italy

Q1 Social Sciences

The relation between the urban diurnal and the urban nocturnal has been famously conceptualized with the metaphor of the night as frontier. Originally proposed by Murray Melbin in 1978, the phrase suggests that the nocturnal has been gradually colonized by the capitalist logics of the day. This article contributes to provincializing night studies by postulating a nonlinear and non-dichotomous relation between the urban diurnal and nocturnal. Specifically, the article adopts the philosophical perspective of the constitutive outside, as articulated in a recent strand of contemporary urban studies, exploring the paradoxical and even contradictory generative tensions shaping the meanings, materialities and politics of the urban night. This theoretical posture is explored through the case of Turin, Italy, a city that has developed a complex tension between the diurnal and the nocturnal which cannot be interpreted simply from a dichotomistic perspective, as the metaphor of the urban frontier suggests.

Public libraries are public spaces that simultaneously respond to and reshape their contexts, by bundling different programme, and numerous functions that synergistically support social interactions among diverse users. They offer domestic, work and leisure environments, hubs and platforms for civic dialogue, encounter, tolerance of differences and exposure to cultures. Less is known about the interaction between library buildings and their surroundings, or the influence of their design and governance on social practices. Through a relational perspective, this article explores how library buildings interact with their surroundings, what the implications of their spatial qualities, and governance are for deterring or promoting various user activities. Two case studies in Helsinki, Oodi and Maunula libraries are used in this investigation. Findings reveal linkages between outdoor spaces and the libraries, with Oodi merging with surrounding outdoor activities and Maunula's management transforming the perception of a stigmatised space. The flexibility in space governance supports social interaction and informs about future considerations regarding social outreach. The buildings' design with transparent, open spaces and flexible layouts provides alternative uses and allow adaptations to cater for diverse leisure, work, education activities and support social relations.

公共图书馆是公共空间，通过捆绑不同的功能，同时响应和重塑其环境，协同支持不同用户之间的社会互动。它们提供了家庭、工作和休闲环境，以及公民对话、相遇、容忍差异和接触文化的中心和平台。对于图书馆建筑与周围环境之间的相互作用，以及其设计和治理对社会实践的影响，人们知之甚少。通过关系的视角，本文探讨了图书馆建筑如何与周围环境相互作用，它们的空间质量和治理对阻止或促进各种用户活动的影响。在赫尔辛基，Oodi和Maunula图书馆的两个案例研究被用于这项调查。研究结果揭示了户外空间和图书馆之间的联系，Oodi与周围的户外活动相结合，Maunula的管理改变了对空间的污名化感知。空间管理的灵活性支持社会互动，并告知有关社会扩展的未来考虑。建筑的设计具有透明、开放的空间和灵活的布局，提供了不同的用途，并允许适应各种休闲、工作、教育活动和支持社会关系。

Urban religion and gendered bodies 城市宗教与性别身体

Q1 Social Sciences

Pub Date : 2024-11-11 DOI: 10.1016/j.ccs.2024.100609

Natalie Lang

The relation between religion and the city is one of mutual social, political, architectural, conceptual and experiential formation. This special issue shifts debates on religion and the city to the body as the site of religious and urban experience, and as a site of regulation and negotiation. Examining Muslim femininities and masculinities in cities in Asia, the collection of articles highlights the gendered dimensions of religious notions of bodies and body practices. Taking the gendered body as a lens of analysis provides important insights into how the religious and the urban affect one another. The special issue demonstrates how religious aspirations, as they intersect with religious and gendered notions of the body and minoritarian experiences, impact how cities are navigated, shaped and appropriated. Religiously informed body practices such as clothing, veiling and beard styles are urban spatial practices that inform and contribute to practitioners' religious and urban experiences. The collection includes case studies on South Asian Muslim embodied masculinities in Hong Kong, Muslim women's urban experiences in Delhi, Chinese female Muslim converts' strategies in Hong Kong, and Muslim male fashion politics in urban Malaysia. Together, the articles highlight gender-specific religious body practices and urban experiences as changing, situational and context-specific.

宗教与城市之间的关系是社会、政治、建筑、概念和经验相互形成的关系。本特刊将有关宗教与城市的讨论转移到作为宗教和城市体验场所的身体，以及作为调节和协商场所的身体。通过对亚洲城市中穆斯林女性和男性的研究，本特刊的文章集突出了身体和身体实践的宗教观念中的性别层面。以性别化的身体作为分析视角，对宗教和城市如何相互影响提供了重要的见解。本特刊展示了宗教愿望如何与宗教和性别化的身体概念以及少数群体的经验相交织，从而影响城市的导航、塑造和占有方式。服装、面纱和胡须样式等带有宗教色彩的身体实践是城市空间实践，为实践者的宗教和城市体验提供信息并做出贡献。这本论文集包括关于香港南亚穆斯林体现男性特征、德里穆斯林妇女的城市体验、香港中国女性穆斯林皈依者的策略以及马来西亚城市穆斯林男性时尚政治的案例研究。这些文章共同强调了针对不同性别的宗教身体实践和城市体验，它们是不断变化的、因地制宜的和因环境而异的。

Decoding urban power: Architecture, symbolism and territorial control in Caracas 解码城市权力：加拉加斯的建筑、象征意义和领土控制

Q1 Social Sciences

Pub Date : 2024-10-26 DOI: 10.1016/j.ccs.2024.100608

Teresa García Alcaraz

This study examines the conflictual dynamics surrounding the utilisation of state-architecture and symbolic imagery as instruments for power consolidation, profoundly shaping national identity and perceptions within the built environment. Drawing on Bourdieu's concepts of symbolic power and cultural capital, this research illuminates the complex interplay between architecture, territory and power. It offers insights into the endurance of societal values and the ongoing renegotiation and reconfiguration of urban space. The research also analyses how urban planning and territorial practices can ignite resistance and challenge existing power structures. The city of Caracas serves as a case study, where two key strategies employed by the current government are analysed: the “Great Housing Mission Venezuela” and the proliferation of Chávez symbolism across the urban realm. By exploring these territorialisation practices in Las Adjuntas, Macarao, the study further unveils the dynamics of power and socio-spatial hierarchies encoded in the urban landscape. These architectural and symbolic interventions are interpreted as attempts to shape perceived realities, consolidate hegemonic control, and regulate the city's socio-spatial order. The findings assert that these practices not only reflect power distribution, but also grant the potential for dominating, producing and controlling territories in nuanced ways. This multidisciplinary study provides a novel framework for decoding power structures embedded in the built environment.

本研究探讨了围绕利用国家建筑和象征性意象作为巩固权力的工具所产生的冲突动态，这些工具深刻地塑造了建筑环境中的民族身份和观念。这项研究借鉴了布迪厄的象征权力和文化资本概念，揭示了建筑、领土和权力之间复杂的相互作用。研究深入探讨了社会价值观的持久性以及城市空间的不断重新谈判和重新配置。研究还分析了城市规划和领土实践如何能够点燃人们的反抗情绪并挑战现有的权力结构。研究以加拉加斯市为案例，分析了现任政府采用的两项关键策略："委内瑞拉大住房计划 "和查韦斯在城市领域的象征意义。通过探索澳门拉斯阿俊塔的这些领土化实践，本研究进一步揭示了城市景观中的权力动态和社会空间等级制度。这些建筑和象征性的干预措施被解释为试图塑造感知的现实、巩固霸权控制和规范城市的社会空间秩序。研究结果断言，这些做法不仅反映了权力分配，还赋予了以细微方式支配、生产和控制领土的潜力。这项多学科研究为解码建筑环境中的权力结构提供了一个新颖的框架。

In Afghanistan, unplanned settlements are developed without government intervention. Several factors contribute to the appearance of these settlements, with studies indicating that over 70% of Afghanistan's cities lack proper planning. The aim of this study was to investigate contextual factors influencing the formation of unplanned settlements in Herat City using a qualitative research approach and semi-structured interviews. A variety of factors contributed significantly to the proliferation of unplanned settlements in Herat, including rapid urban population growth, poverty, corruption, bureaucratic obstacles, inadequate urban management capacity, a lack of citizen participation in urban planning, insufficient government support for low-income housing, the absence of clear legal frameworks for land ownership and housing, and cultural influences.

在阿富汗，未经规划的定居点是在没有政府干预的情况下发展起来的。研究表明，阿富汗超过 70% 的城市缺乏适当的规划。本研究旨在采用定性研究方法和半结构式访谈，调查影响赫拉特市未规划住区形成的背景因素。多种因素在很大程度上导致了赫拉特市计划外定居点的激增，其中包括城市人口的快速增长、贫困、腐败、官僚主义障碍、城市管理能力不足、城市规划缺乏公民参与、政府对低收入住房的支持不足、缺乏明确的土地所有权和住房法律框架以及文化影响。

Cities thrive on the vibrant interplay of community-driven initiatives and the adaptive reuse of public spaces that foster socio-cultural activities, enriching civic life. However, these grassroots efforts often confront challenges such as spatial inadequacies caused by bureaucratic zoning policies and the scarcity of affordable real estate. Moreover, urban landscapes struggle with the abandonment and underutilization of public buildings and open spaces, hindered by complex administrative protocols and limited resource affecting both private developers and local governments. This study introduces a model for urban policy design, named the “NeighbourHUB” model (N-HUB), aimed at addressing these issues by aligning space demand with community activities through Participatory Cost-Benefit Analysis and collaborative design approaches. Developed by a multidisciplinary team from the University of Cagliari, in collaboration with 30 local community associations active in the neighbourhoods where the model was tested, N-HUB advocates for a gradual, incremental, and place-based approach to optimize space utilization and enhance coordination between local authorities and socio-cultural associations. The findings of case study application presented in this paper demonstrate its potential to improve transparency, accessibility, and usability of spaces, providing guidance for fair urban policy design and effective conflict resolution.

城市的蓬勃发展得益于由社区推动的倡议和对公共空间的适应性再利用，这些倡议和再利用促进了社会文化活动，丰富了市民生活。然而，这些基层的努力往往面临各种挑战，例如官僚主义的分区政策造成的空间不足，以及可负担得起的房地产稀缺。此外，由于复杂的行政程序和有限的资源，私人开发商和地方政府都受到影响，城市景观在公共建筑和开放空间被遗弃和利用不足的问题上挣扎。本研究介绍了一种城市政策设计模式，名为 "NeighbourHUB "模式（N-HUB），旨在通过参与式成本效益分析和合作设计方法，将空间需求与社区活动结合起来，从而解决这些问题。N-HUB 由卡利亚里大学的一个多学科团队开发，并与活跃在该模式测试社区的 30 个当地社区协会合作。N-HUB 主张采用循序渐进、渐进和基于地方的方法来优化空间利用，并加强地方当局与社会文化协会之间的协调。本文介绍的案例研究结果表明，N-HUB 有潜力提高空间的透明度、可达性和可用性，为公平的城市政策设计和有效解决冲突提供指导。
