This paper adopts a reflective practice methodology, outlining how the Future Fashion Factory award stimulated sectoral activity, facilitating innovative collaborations and delivering regional impact. FFF built on decades of academic collaboration and long-standing relationships with both industry and local/regional government, it brought regional initiatives together to enable new activity and raise the profile of existing collaborations. In this context the University of Leeds, along with HEI partners, acted as a broker for innovation connectivity and change. It contrasts the Future Fashion Factory ecosystem with previous Yorkshire-based cluster programmes which had a STEM-based foundation for their interventions, reflecting differences in funding mechanisms and outcome monitoring. Fashion and textiles are a significant regional economic contributor, value chains are complex, integrating creativity with materials and advanced manufacturing requiring the delivery of STEAM-based interventions. Mills in the Yorkshire's ‘textile heartland’ are globally recognised, some exporting c.90 % of their total production. In January 2020 Future Fashion Factory supported the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Regional Entrepreneurship Acceleration Program (MIT REAP) visit, facilitating academic connectivity with Leeds City Council and a visit to AW Hainsworth & Sons Ltd; one of many collaborative initiatives. Over five-years Future Fashion Factory has worked extensively with regional and national bodies to maximise learning, impact and future opportunities. Since October 2018 it has developed and trialled several iterations of an industry-led Responsive R&D process. Focused on regional cluster support Future Fashion Factory recognised fashion and textiles as a national/international collection of complex, interlocking eco-systems. Future Fashion Factory network membership focused on regional connectivity but with UK-wide industrial participation; project awards always ensured direct cluster impact. Learning developed from this industry-led approach led to wide-ranging engagement activity and triggered c.450 innovation ideas and c.£47m co-investment.

本文采用了一种反思的实践方法，概述了未来时尚工厂奖如何刺激部门活动，促进创新合作并产生区域影响。FFF建立在数十年的学术合作以及与行业和地方/地区政府的长期合作关系的基础上，它将区域倡议整合在一起，以实现新的活动并提高现有合作的知名度。在这种情况下，利兹大学与HEI合作伙伴一起充当了创新、连接和变革的中间人。它将未来时装工厂生态系统与以前基于约克郡的集群计划进行了对比，这些计划的干预措施基于stem，反映了筹资机制和结果监测的差异。时尚和纺织品是一个重要的区域经济贡献者，价值链是复杂的，将创造力与材料和先进制造结合起来，需要提供基于steam的干预措施。位于约克郡“纺织中心”的工厂是全球公认的，其中一些出口占其总产量的90%。2020年1月，Future Fashion Factory支持麻省理工学院区域创业加速计划（MIT REAP）访问，促进了与利兹市议会的学术联系，并访问了AW Hainsworth & & Sons Ltd .；许多协作计划之一。五年来，未来时尚工厂与地区和国家机构广泛合作，最大限度地提高学习、影响和未来机会。自2018年10月以来，它已经开发并试用了几次行业领先的响应式研发流程。未来时尚工厂专注于区域集群支持，将时尚和纺织品视为一个复杂的、环环相扣的生态系统的国家/国际集合。未来时装工厂网络成员关注区域连通性，但与全英国的工业参与；项目奖励总是确保直接影响集群。从这种以行业为主导的方法中获得的经验，导致了广泛的参与活动，引发了450个创新想法和4700万英镑的共同投资。

This research examines how community-based artistic organizations navigate social and political tensions in urban settings, bridging hip-hop studies to political economy studies on self-governance. Artists and cultural organizations engage with these tensions through political protest, fostering public participation, and representing marginalized groups. For genres like hip-hop, social and political tensions are inherent, making it particularly interesting to study their institutionalization. A multiple case study was conducted on four organizations: Hiphophuis, WORM, Rapolitics, and Soul Sessions Oslo, based in the Netherlands, Denmark, and Norway. These organizations use alternative performing arts to engage with social and political issues through self-governance. Data from 13 semi-structured interviews with key individuals provided in-depth insights, analyzed thematically to reveal two themes: "Social and Political Engagement Through Self-Governance: 'By Us, For Us'” and "Creating Space for a Socially and Politically Engaged Community". The findings highlight that these organizations are “rebels without a pause but with a cause”: self-governance and engaged behavior enable alternative performing arts organizations to interact with diverse marginalized groups through cultural expressions often overlooked by institutionalized cultural entities. This community-based approach also facilitates engagement with local communities on broader issues.

本研究考察了以社区为基础的艺术组织如何在城市环境中应对社会和政治紧张局势，将嘻哈研究与自治的政治经济学研究联系起来。艺术家和文化组织通过政治抗议、促进公众参与和代表边缘化群体来应对这些紧张局势。对于嘻哈这样的流派来说，社会和政治紧张是固有的，这使得研究它们的制度化变得特别有趣。对四个组织进行了多案例研究：Hiphophuis、WORM、Rapolitics和Soul Sessions Oslo，它们分别位于荷兰、丹麦和挪威。这些组织利用另类表演艺术通过自我管理来参与社会和政治问题。来自13个对关键人物的半结构化访谈的数据提供了深入的见解，并按主题进行了分析，揭示了两个主题：“通过自治进行社会和政治参与：‘靠我们，为我们’”和“为社会和政治参与社区创造空间”。研究结果强调，这些组织是“没有停顿但有原因的反叛”：自我管理和参与行为使另类表演艺术组织能够通过文化表达与各种边缘化群体互动，而这些文化表达往往被制度化的文化实体所忽视。这种以社区为基础的方法还有助于与当地社区就更广泛的问题进行接触。

On and beyond the Creative City: performative narratives, policy translation, and frontiers of ‘splashing’ acts 创意城市内外：表演叙事、政策翻译和“泼水”行为的前沿

Q1 Social Sciences

The Creative City often appears in the existing literature as a policy narrative that travels widely across borders. Scholars have long debated whether this travel resulted in a homogenisation of urban cultural policies and whether the narrative still had viability for the future. The term ‘narrative’, however, has often been taken for granted. This article thus explores the implications of thinking about the Creative City as a narrative, particularly a ‘travelling narrative’. Conceptually, it builds on two major frameworks. The first is a processual approach to narration as a fundamental act of organising reality. It emphasises unification or the organisation of different layers or elements into a coherent narrative. The second is a performative approach to translation as acts of re-narration. It highlights multiplication or how a policy narrative can be translated into multi-directional, even competing, policy acts across contexts. Empirically, the article examines the narrative form and accomplishment of the Creative City as it was taken up in Vietnam through the designation of Hanoi as a member of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN). The analysis shows both possibilities and limitations of ‘splashing’ acts that sought to engage with the narrative in ways that could move beyond the frequently criticised power structures that set the travelling narrative in motion.

在现有的文献中，创意城市经常作为一种政策叙事出现，广泛地跨越国界。学者们长期以来一直在争论这种旅行是否导致了城市文化政策的同质化，以及这种叙事是否仍然具有未来的可行性。然而，“叙述”这个词常常被认为是理所当然的。因此，本文探讨了将创意城市视为一种叙事，特别是“旅行叙事”的含义。从概念上讲，它建立在两个主要框架之上。第一种是将叙事作为组织现实的基本行为的过程性方法。它强调不同层次或元素的统一或组织成一个连贯的叙述。二是将翻译作为一种重新叙述的行为。它强调了多样性，即政策叙述如何在不同背景下转化为多向的、甚至是相互竞争的政策行为。本文从经验上考察了河内被指定为联合国教科文组织创意城市网络（UCCN）成员后，越南创意城市的叙事形式和成就。分析显示了“泼水”行为的可能性和局限性，这些行为试图以一种可以超越经常受到批评的权力结构的方式参与叙事，这种权力结构使旅行叙事运动起来。

This paper extends scholarship on innovation intermediation within the creative industries, through case study analysis of XR Stories. XR Stories is a Yorkshire and the Humber based Creative Industries Cluster Partnerships (CICP) programme, focused on providing access to expertise, infrastructure and facilities to creatives working in extended reality. Through its exploration of the different ways in which R&D was facilitated, the paper positions XR Stories as an important cultural and innovation intermediary in delivering the aims of the CICP. It does this through demonstrating the varied examples of cultural and innovation intermediation which XR Stories undertook. The paper also draws upon Foucault's notion of the dispositif, adopting the term ‘CICP dispositif’ to acknowledge the wider context of R&D intermediation within which XR Stories operated. It explores how XR Stories's intermediation work was shaped by the CICP dispositif, including how it is constrained by CICP aims, but also actively developed new forms of activities outside of the CICP limitations.

本文通过对XR故事的案例分析，拓展了对创意产业创新中介的研究。XR Stories是基于约克郡和亨伯的创意产业集群合作伙伴关系（CICP）计划，专注于为在扩展现实中工作的创意人员提供专业知识、基础设施和设施。通过探索促进研发的不同方式，本文将XR故事定位为实现CICP目标的重要文化和创新中介。它通过展示XR故事所承担的各种文化和创新中介的例子来做到这一点。本文还借鉴了福柯的处置概念，采用“CICP处置”一词来承认XR故事运作的更广泛的研发中介背景。它探讨了XR Stories的中介工作是如何受到CICP配置的影响的，包括它是如何受到CICP目标的约束的，但也积极地在CICP限制之外开发新的活动形式。

Geofenced storytelling integrates location-based services with cultural tourism, offering interactive experiences that enhance visitor engagement. This study examines its application in Isfahan, Iran, a city known for its rich heritage and architecture. While mainstream tourism highlights famous landmarks, it often neglects artisanal workshops, historic neighborhoods, and everyday traditions. This research explores how geofenced storytelling shapes visitor movement, cultural engagement, and tourism experiences. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study combines ethnographic fieldwork with quantitative analysis of user interactions. Findings show that tourists engaging with geofenced narratives are 60 % more likely to visit lesser-known cultural sites, fostering decentralized and participatory tourism. Visitors emphasize the role of immersive storytelling in strengthening their sense of place. However, challenges include geolocation accuracy, content curation, and balancing local representation with visitor expectations. This study situates geofenced storytelling within broader debates on digital placemaking, participatory tourism, and sustainable heritage management. While digital tools can enhance cultural interpretation and diversify tourism experiences, their effectiveness depends on inclusive content, local collaboration, and integration into tourism policies. The findings provide valuable insights for researchers, tourism professionals, and policymakers seeking to leverage digital storytelling for community-driven, responsible cultural tourism.

地理围栏故事将基于位置的服务与文化旅游相结合，提供互动体验，提高游客参与度。这项研究考察了它在伊朗伊斯法罕的应用，这个城市以其丰富的遗产和建筑而闻名。虽然主流旅游以著名的地标为重点，但它往往忽视了手工作坊、历史街区和日常传统。本研究探讨了地理围栏叙事如何影响游客运动、文化参与和旅游体验。该研究采用混合方法，将人种学田野调查与用户交互的定量分析相结合。研究结果表明，参与地理围栏叙事的游客有60%的可能性会去参观不太知名的文化遗址，从而促进分散式和参与式旅游。参观者强调沉浸式的故事叙述在加强他们的地方感方面的作用。然而，挑战包括地理定位的准确性、内容管理以及平衡本地表现与访问者期望。这项研究将地理围栏叙事置于数字场所建设、参与式旅游和可持续遗产管理等更广泛的讨论中。虽然数字工具可以增强文化解读并使旅游体验多样化，但其有效性取决于包容性内容、地方合作以及与旅游政策的整合。研究结果为研究人员、旅游专业人士和政策制定者提供了宝贵的见解，这些研究人员正在寻求利用数字叙事来实现社区驱动的、负责任的文化旅游。

This paper employs a chrono-urbanist perspective to examine the effects of two contrasting policy strategies on the travel time required for local residents to participate in local live music scenes. We use Melbourne's ‘agent of change’ principle and Brisbane's ‘designated entertainment precinct’ as contrasting policy approaches to investigate the impact of these policies on urban centre-periphery and cultural engagement. We examine these policy approaches to determine the extent that precinct-based policies may risk excluding certain cultural activities from the chrono-urbanist notion of ‘the 15-min city’. This research uses venue-mapping of the two case study cities to demonstrate the chrono-urban impacts of the dispersed and cluster approaches to the management of urban and suburban live music venues. We then super-impose maps of public transport nodes/facilities over our venue maps to present empirical evidence on the possibilities and limitations of these two different policy approaches. One of the primary conclusions we draw is that the dispersed venue clusters in Melbourne show more positive results in terms of fair and equitable live music venue access to the residents of the city who live in outer suburban areas.

本文采用时间城市学家的视角来考察两种截然不同的政策策略对当地居民参与当地现场音乐场景所需的旅行时间的影响。我们使用墨尔本的“变革代理人”原则和布里斯班的“指定娱乐区”作为对比政策方法来调查这些政策对城市中心边缘和文化参与的影响。我们研究了这些政策方法，以确定基于区域的政策可能会在多大程度上将某些文化活动排除在“15分钟城市”的时间城市主义概念之外。本研究使用两个案例研究城市的场地地图来展示分散和集群方法对城市和郊区现场音乐场所管理的时间城市影响。然后，我们将公共交通节点/设施的地图叠加到我们的场地地图上，以提供关于这两种不同政策方法的可能性和局限性的经验证据。我们得出的一个主要结论是，墨尔本分散的场地集群在为居住在远郊地区的城市居民提供公平和公平的现场音乐场地方面表现出更积极的结果。

As refugee camps (RCs) transition into urban-like settlements, resembling cities, the need for effective transportation systems becomes critical to support refugees’ mobility, connectivity, accessibility, and overall well-being. This article examines transportation infrastructure in RCs across Jordan, Lebanon, and Iraq, focusing on accessibility, safety, affordability, and sustainability, aligning with Target 11.2 of the 2030 Agenda. Employing a mixed-methods approach, which incorporates a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews, the study explores transportation options, barriers, and opportunities, as well as their implications for achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG11, alongside SDG3, SDG4, SDG5, and SDG8. The findings underscore the critical role of transportation in fostering inclusivity, reducing inequality, and ensuring access to essential services. The study concludes with recommendations for policymakers and practitioners to enhance the provision of sustainable transportation in RCs and ensure inclusivity, equity, and resilience while advancing progress toward achieving global goals.

随着难民营向类似城市的城市住区过渡，对有效交通系统的需求对于支持难民的流动性、连通性、可达性和整体福祉变得至关重要。本文考察了约旦、黎巴嫩和伊拉克等国的交通基础设施，重点关注可达性、安全性、可负担性和可持续性，并与2030年议程的目标11.2保持一致。该研究采用问卷调查和半结构化访谈相结合的混合方法，探讨了交通选择、障碍和机会，以及它们对实现可持续发展目标（sdg）的影响，特别是SDG11，以及SDG3、SDG4、SDG5和SDG8。研究结果强调了交通运输在促进包容性、减少不平等和确保获得基本服务方面的关键作用。报告最后为政策制定者和实践者提出了建议，以加强可持续交通在发展中国家的提供，确保包容性、公平性和韧性，同时推进实现全球目标。

A tale of Jalan Kaliurang: Postcolonial gentrification in the Peri-urban of Yogyakarta Jalan Kaliurang的故事：日惹城郊的后殖民士绅化

Jalan Kaliurang, a once agricultural edge of Yogyakarta has been transformed by waves of student migration and commercial development. Through ethnographic research, we explore how this peri-urban corridor has evolved into a dense hub of boarding houses (kos) and cafés, shaped by a complex mix of cultural traditions, historical power structures, and market forces. What emerges is a hybrid form of urban change, where local residents are not simply displaced, but experience a more subtle process of unhoming, a loss of cultural connection and emotional belonging even as they remain in place. We also question how the traditional value of gotong royong (javanese mutual cooperation) holds up under growing economic pressures and social fragmentation. By focusing on studentification and speculative real estate practices, this study sheds light on the symbolic forms of displacement that often go unnoticed. It argues for a deeper understanding of gentrification in postcolonial cities, one that takes seriously the emotional and cultural costs of urban change.

Jalan Kaliurang曾经是日惹的农业边缘，但随着学生移民和商业发展的浪潮，它已经发生了变化。通过民族志研究，我们探索了这条城郊走廊是如何演变成一个由文化传统、历史权力结构和市场力量复杂混合而成的寄宿公寓（kos）和咖啡馆的密集中心的。出现的是一种混合形式的城市变化，当地居民不仅仅是流离失所，而是经历了一个更微妙的无家可归的过程，失去了文化联系和情感归属，即使他们留在原地。我们还质疑，在日益增长的经济压力和社会分裂的情况下，爪哇人相互合作的传统价值观如何维持下去。通过关注学生身份和投机房地产实践，本研究揭示了经常被忽视的流离失所的象征性形式。它主张对后殖民城市的中产阶级化进行更深入的理解，认真对待城市变化的情感和文化成本。

This paper examines the conceptualisation of the term ‘tiers lieu’- translatable as ‘third place’- in French policy, emphasising its potential to offer an alternative to the ‘infrastructural turn’ in territorial policy. By focusing on ‘tiers lieux culturels’ (TLC), it examines the emergence of this concept, its adoption by public actors across various levels in France, and its implications for those managing these spaces, while addressing associated controversies.

Drawing on research projects funded by Region Sud, ANR, and MSH-Paris Nord, the paper investigates several TLC in Southern France. It employs an analysis of institutional documents, interviews with TLC founders, managers, and teams, as well as ethnographic observations. The findings reveal that TLC policies often grapple with tensions between funding frameworks and the multifaceted identities of these spaces. These tensions are shaped by conflicting dynamics, including neoliberal/creative city paradigms versus cultural rights/participatory city ideals, and the expectations of policymakers who envision TLCs as emerging democratic utopias.

本文探讨了法国政策中“替代层级”（可译为“第三位”）一词的概念化，强调了其在领土政策中为“基础设施转向”提供替代方案的潜力。通过关注“分层文化”（TLC），它研究了这一概念的出现，它被法国各级公共行为者所采用，以及它对管理这些空间的人的影响，同时解决了相关的争议。利用由南区，ANR和MSH-Paris Nord资助的研究项目，本文调查了法国南部的几个TLC。它采用了对机构文件的分析，对TLC创始人、经理和团队的采访，以及民族志观察。研究结果表明，TLC政策经常在资金框架和这些空间的多方面身份之间的紧张关系中挣扎。这些紧张关系是由相互冲突的动态形成的，包括新自由主义/创意城市范式与文化权利/参与式城市理想，以及将TLCs视为新兴民主乌托邦的政策制定者的期望。

By 2050, nearly two-thirds of the world's population will reside in cities, many of which currently lack the infrastructure to support diverse recreational needs. Yet cities possess untapped potential to foster inclusive and engaging public spaces through the integration of ludic elements. Rooted in the Latin word ‘Ludus’, meaning playfulness, the concept ludic encompasses a wide range of playful recreational and interactive experiences. However, how the ludic potential can inform urban design has been significantly underexplored. By conducting a systematic review of peer-reviewed literature across Geography and related disciplines, this study addresses the identified gap. Through descriptive and thematic analyses, the review identifies key characteristics of ludic activities, examines their impacts on urban actors, and outlines strategies to integrate ludic activities in urban design. Building on these insights, the paper introduces a novel ‘ludic continuum’ framework that categorises ludic activities, offering a valuable tool for envisioning and designing more vibrant, inclusive and playful urban public spaces for all ages.

到2050年，世界上近三分之二的人口将居住在城市，其中许多城市目前缺乏支持各种娱乐需求的基础设施。然而，城市拥有未开发的潜力，可以通过整合有趣的元素来培育包容性和参与性的公共空间。“ludic”一词源于拉丁语“Ludus”，意为“好玩”，它包含了一系列有趣的娱乐和互动体验。然而，如何将这种有趣的潜力运用到城市设计中，还没有得到充分的探索。通过对地理学和相关学科的同行评议文献进行系统回顾，本研究解决了已确定的差距。通过描述性和专题分析，本文确定了娱乐活动的主要特征，考察了它们对城市行动者的影响，并概述了将娱乐活动融入城市设计的策略。在这些见解的基础上，本文介绍了一个新颖的“滑稽连续体”框架，对滑稽活动进行分类，为所有年龄段的人设想和设计更充满活力、包容和有趣的城市公共空间提供了一个有价值的工具。
