Urban informal settlements in the Global South, home to over a billion people, face significant challenges due to limited space and inadequate Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) and Solid Waste Management (SWM) infrastructure. These deficiencies significantly impact women's ‘triple care role’—reproductive, productive, and community caregiving responsibilities—within their families, society, and the economy, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to explore how inadequate infrastructure in three informal settlements in Khulna, Bangladesh, influenced women's caregiving roles during the pandemic and their responses. Through semi-structured interviews with 24 women community leaders, who served as front-line workers during COVID-19, and supporting fieldwork, we discovered that women adapted by modifying their habits and the spatial layouts of their homes for isolation. Although some improvements were noted in WASH and SWM conditions, significant challenges remained, particularly in temporary housing, household adaptability, and reproductive responsibilities Despite facing informal employment, financial constraints, and food insecurity, women showed resilience through leadership, socio-political networking, and community initiatives. This study underscores the urgent need for adaptive infrastructure planning to improve living conditions in informal settlements, with a focus on proactive management of both spatial and non-spatial resources to enhance adaptation in resource-scarce contexts.

With the advent of an aging society, grandparents' involvement in childcare is becoming increasingly common, saving families and society huge nursing costs. Residential open space (ROS) is a common place for grandparents' outdoor childcare activities, influencing the health of grandparents and children. However, existing research on the ROS environmental needs of intergenerational users is still insufficient. This study regards grandparents and children as a cohesive entity, based on environment behavior theory, and constructs a research framework for the ROS environmental elements needs for grandparent-child rearing. Taking a residential area in Tianjin as an example, four types of grandparent-child rearing are identified based on the age of the children. Through interviews with grandparents and observation of outdoor activities involving grandparent-child rearing, significant differences in the needs of ROS environmental elements such as enclosure feeling, pet control, and adult fitness equipment among different types of grandparent-child rearing were found, stemming from different caregiving patterns. This study provides important implications for constructing supportive childcare environments and promoting physical activities and childcare education among intergenerational populations.

This paper reveals the mechanisms by which the spatial structure of morphological polycentricity (MP) affects the subjective well-being (SWB) in China, focusing on the distribution of economic activities. Using panel data for 21 provinces in China from 2010 to 2020, we compare the effects of dynamic MP, measured using nighttime light data, and static MP, measured using demographic data, on SWB. Our findings reveal that, as regional economic benefits enhance and megacities form, the adjustment of MP spatial policy becomes increasingly significant in improving SWB. Notably, dynamic changes in MP exhibit a more pronounced effect on the satisfaction and confidence aspects of SWB. Moreover, increased urban-rural income inequality moderates this relationship, diminishing the positive impact of MP on SWB among rural households. Regional analysis indicates that in economically advancing areas and emerging megacities, adjustments in MP spatial policy are increasingly crucial for improving SWB. Central regions experiencing economic growth exhibit a greater need to balance economic agglomeration with population dispersion to optimize well-being outcomes. The empirical evidence provided suggests the potential benefits of adopting harmonized development strategies and indicates that incorporating the socio-economic context into spatial planning may contribute to the optimization of well-being.

Effectively assisting urban designers in developing resilient urban areas requires innovative approaches. Moreover, using spatial analysis is necessary to assess the effectiveness of the conceptual design depending on different specifications. Even though these concepts are closely related, they have been done separately. To overcome these limits, in this paper, a decision tool is created using the Grasshopper for Rhinoceros 3D software as a core component of a flexible system to generate the urban structure and optimize land use. The tool includes several processes for analyzing urban distribution using spatial analysis, such as accessibility and visibility. The approach was systematically applied and evaluated in a simulated environment using BenGuerir's Green City as a case study. Therefore, it established an efficient infrastructure network facilitating seamless pedestrian movement. It also allows the creation of diverse building types in key locations to suit people's requirements based on urban planning rules to sustainably conserve the area by balancing resources, activities, and people in space.

While the COVID-19 pandemic has intensified counter-urban migration trends globally, with rural areas often portrayed as ideal havens, the post-migration realities and risks faced by rural in-migrants remain understudied. Addressing this research gap, this research investigates the neighborhood factors influencing risk perceptions of rural in-migrants during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on four rural destinations in Dali, China. Using a mixed-method approach combining questionnaires, participatory mapping, and regression analysis, we surveyed 234 rural migrants. Our study incorporates objective measurements of neighborhood environments through Participatory GIS. Findings reveal that reduced life quality and economic income are the main perceived risks among rural in-migrants during the pandemic. Neighborhood factors significantly mitigating perceived risks include green spaces, accessible living services, government satisfaction, and strong local community networks. The study also identifies varying vulnerability levels among migrant groups, with migrant workers showing higher risk perceptions than entrepreneurs or unemployed individuals. This research addresses a critical gap in migration studies by examining post-relocation risks faced by rural in-migrants, especially during global crises. It provides empirical evidence on the role of neighborhood environments in mitigating migrants' risk perceptions, offering insights for enhancing rural community resilience. The findings contribute to our understanding of rural in-migration dynamics in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond, informing strategies for sustainable rural development and migrant integration in the face of future crises.

Several indicator and index frameworks have been reported to assess management efficiency and promote transparency, facilitating decision-making and innovation. However, they cannot be applied in cities with limited information, making them impractical. This study proposes a Sustainable Urban Water Management Index (SUWMI) for such cities, selecting six AquaRating indicators plus two indexes recommended in the Sustainable Development Goal 6, yielding a simplified and practical version for diagnosing the management performance rate of the Water Operating Systems (WOS) in cities. Conceptual and mathematical models were defined for SUWMI, and the eight selected terms were hierarchized based on a decision tree with the participation of an expert panel and further multicriteria decision-making methodology by the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to calculate the weighting parameters. The selected indicators represent five categories on a percentage scale. The highly populated Puebla City Metropolitan Zone in Mexico was the case study. Information was gathered from five Water Operation Systems (WOS) from 2002 to 2020. The tap water area's coverage and physical efficiency improved despite the population growth due to an adequate political strategy after 2014. The SUWMI values of each WOS diagnoses its performance, highlighting their differences and providing a valuable tool for guiding urban water public policy programs. The paper proposes a simple, fast, and easy-to-calculate index that can be helpful for a broader cluster of cities and urban settlements with deficient available information, which is common in developing countries.

The emergence of sharing economy, especially accommodation platform has enable people to rent and capitalize on their private properties by renting to others. However, with the covid-19 pandemic and proximity to first-tier city it is crucial to examine how these sharing accommodation properties survives.
The paper investigates how urban neighbourhoods, Airbnb characteristics and urban mobility restrictions determine rental occupancy rates in Bandung, a second-tier city, during the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper examines; (i) the dynamics of determinant factors of occupancy rates before and after the pandemic and (ii) the impact of mobility and spatial proximity to first-tier city on sharing accommodations’ occupancy rates. This study uses econometric and spatial analysis with more than 2200 Airbnb property listings registered between 2016 and 2020 in Bandung city.
Our study found a shift of preferences in a more urban direction and electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) variables continuing with a slight decline in the pandemic. Comparison between before and during the pandemic suggests the persistent of high occupancy rate concentration only in in private listings, and located near to tourist attractions and a variety of amenities. Our finding calls for urban policies that limits the geographical distribution of short-term rental (STR) properties to avoid wider gentrification, safety risks, and pressure to the local housing supply.

The missing middle between the big and the small: Urban primacy in the Indian State of Karnataka

Urban primacy in the Indian state of Karnataka is severe, since Bengaluru, the state's capital city, is more than eight times the size of the second biggest city. Our objectives in this paper are to investigate this primacy, estimating Zipf's law, understanding transport networks and inadequacies in municipal infrastructure, and adopting a non-conventional technique, i.e., that of surveying private firms, to understand how to alleviate the same.
Estimating Zipf's law, we find that Karnataka's primacy worsened during 2011-19. Using GIS maps, we find several road connectivity issues around smaller cities in the state of Karnataka. We find several gaps in municipal infrastructure such as roads, parks and storm water drains in the smaller cities. Based on a survey of 81 firms across selected 12 cities in the state (including Bengaluru), we find that their operation and maintenance costs are higher than investment costs, due to weak municipal infrastructure. The qualitative views of firms in the smaller towns regarding their disadvantages conformed to the objective evidence on their costs.
This has implications for better policies for balanced regional development not only in Indian states, but also other geographies characterized by primacy. These are that transport networks be extensive, and municipal infrastructure be robust to encourage firm and resident location decisions, for distribution of economic activity equally across the urban hierarchy.

Sudden and unforeseen events, notably the COVID-19 pandemic has underscored and exacerbated pre-existing urban inequalities. These disruptions have disproportionately affected the most vulnerable sectors of society, thereby further aggravating existing inequalities. Addressing these inequality issues requires systematic research into academic community's response to significant global disturbances. Therefore, we have integrated bibliometric analysis with meta-analysis (quantitatively combines research results from systematic reviews) techniques, culminating in a research framework based on KNIME software (a software for creating data applications and services) and Python programming. Noteworthy for its open-source nature, scalability, and reproducibility, this framework tries to decode the developmental patterns and response characteristics of urban inequality research under sudden shocks.

Our findings indicate that the COVID-19 has exacerbated the existing urban inequality, attracting widespread attention in fields such as society and public health. Issues of fairness and justice of human health, resource allocation, urban resilience and vulnerability have become hot topics around COVID-19 related urban inequalities. Simultaneously, the sudden shocks have led to disparities in research areas and themes. Social, economic, and urban planning are the main drivers behind urban inequality, and particularly affecting vulnerable groups, including low-income populations and those living in remote regions. Before and after the COVID-19, the average global urban inequality are 0.57 and 0.61, respectively. Inequality issues are particularly severe in Africa and countries such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. The pandemic changed the focus of urban inequality to health and social issues, worsening inequality performance in these regions and deepening global gaps. Additionally, countries with high urban inequality are more prone to large-scale outbreaks and higher mortality rates. To this end, we advocate academia for in-depth research and comprehensive evaluation, focusing on vulnerable groups, providing integrated policy recommendations, supporting interdisciplinary exchanges and cooperation, and committing to find long-term sustainable solutions. These efforts aim to propose more comprehensive and reasonable solutions to alleviate and address complex urban inequality issues under sudden shocks.

Greater Cairo (GC) is the seventh-largest metropolitan city globally. In recent decades, GC has witnessed massive urban expansion, which has yet to be empirically measured or characterized. This research seeks to explore the patterns of urban growth and changes in urban form in GC from 1973 to 2021 using remote sensing and geospatial metrics. Six Landsat images in 1973, 1984, 1992, 2003, 2013, and 2021 were used to explore urban growth in GC. Urban Land Density Function (ULDF), Landscape Expansion Index (LEI), and Fractal Dimension Index (FDI), were utilized to analyze various aspects of urban expansion. Additionally, the ratio of Land Consumption Rate (LCR) to Population Growth Rate (PGR) was calculated to assess the correlation between urban expansion and population changes. Our results reveal a substantial addition of 203 thousand hectares of urban areas over the last half-century. The ULDF highlights GC’s transformation from a condensed to a scattered urban landscape, particularly with the establishment of the New Administrative Capital in the vicinity. Edge expansion emerged as the principal type of urban growth throughout the research duration. The consistent increase in FDI from 1.44 in 1973 to 1.75 in 2021 signifies the fragmentation of the urban landscape. Moreover, the progressive rise in LCR from 0.023 in 1984 to 0.050 ​ha per person in 2021 suggests a steady expansion of low-density urban areas. Notably, the LCR-to-PGR ratio escalated from 0.878 in 1984 to 2.428 in 2021, indicating that urban expansion surpassed population growth. These results will help further understand the characteristics of GC’s urban expansion and may offer a scientific foundation for policymakers to reconsider the current horizontal expansion policy in GC.
大开罗(GC)是全球第七大都市。近几十年来,大开罗见证了大规模的城市扩张,但这一扩张尚未得到实证测量或特征描述。本研究试图利用遥感和地理空间指标探索 1973 年至 2021 年期间大麦加的城市增长模式和城市形态变化。研究使用了 1973 年、1984 年、1992 年、2003 年、2013 年和 2021 年的六幅 Landsat 图像来探索 GC 的城市增长情况。利用城市土地密度函数(ULDF)、景观扩张指数(LEI)和分形维度指数(FDI)来分析城市扩张的各个方面。此外,我们还计算了土地消耗率(LCR)与人口增长率(PGR)之比,以评估城市扩张与人口变化之间的相关性。我们的研究结果表明,在过去的半个世纪中,城市面积大幅增加了 20.3 万公顷。ULDF 突出显示了 GC 从密集型城市景观向分散型城市景观的转变,特别是随着新行政首都在附近的建立。在整个研究期间,边缘扩张成为城市发展的主要类型。外国直接投资从 1973 年的 1.44 持续增长到 2021 年的 1.75,标志着城市景观的碎片化。此外,人均土地覆盖率从 1984 年的 0.023 公顷逐步上升到 2021 年的 0.050 公顷,这表明低密度城区在稳步扩张。值得注意的是,LCR 与 PGR 的比率从 1984 年的 0.878 上升到 2021 年的 2.428,表明城市扩张超过了人口增长。这些结果将有助于进一步了解广州城市扩张的特征,并为决策者重新考虑广州现行的横向扩张政策提供科学依据。
