This research aims to explore regional place-based approaches to climate change in cross-border regions (CBR)s. CBRs face unique challenges as well as opportunities to develop innovative approaches and more resilient responses to the threats generated by climate change (CC). The study reveals the policy directionality in CBRs across multiple levels of government. Specifically, we explore how the different policy objectives – climate mitigation vs adaptation – are aligned across the international borders in Polish CBRs and their counterparts in Germany, Czechia, Slovakia, and Lithuania. The paper uses mixed methods combining qualitative data concerning both policy documents and investment figures issued at regional, national, and cross-border policy levels. The findings demonstrate the spatial sensitivity in approaches to CC across CBRs. Different levels of policy alignment are reported against the institutional set-ups of the CBRs. The analysis shows a clear consensus on the role of cross-border cooperation in addressing CC-related threats, including floods and forest fires. These threats are recognised unanimously across the CBRs’ sample, although the remediation measures vary. The analysis demonstrates that a similar institutional set-up, across the two sides of the border, “per se” does not necessarily guarantee a coherent approach toward CC.
本研究旨在探索基于地域的跨界区域气候变化研究方法。cbr面临着独特的挑战,同时也面临着发展创新方法和更有弹性应对气候变化威胁的机遇。该研究揭示了各级政府在cbr方面的政策方向性。具体而言,我们探讨了不同的政策目标——减缓气候变化vs适应气候变化——如何在波兰的cbr及其在德国、捷克、斯洛伐克和立陶宛的同行中跨越国际边界进行协调。本文采用混合方法,结合定性数据,涉及政策文件和区域、国家和跨境政策层面发布的投资数据。研究结果表明,跨cbr的CC方法具有空间敏感性。根据cbr的机构设置,报告了不同程度的政策一致性。分析表明,对于跨境合作在应对与气候变化有关的威胁(包括洪水和森林火灾)方面的作用,各方达成了明确的共识。这些威胁在cbr的样本中得到了一致认可,尽管补救措施各不相同。分析表明,在边界两侧,类似的制度设置“本身”并不一定保证对共同承担责任采取一致的方法。

Acute shortages of public infrastructure in Southern African cities are primarily driven by rapid urbanisation. This paper assesses urbanisation trends in Zimbabwe and their implications for urban planning and policy. Using data from the Global Human Settlements Urban Centre Database 2015, it systematically analyses 40 years of urban growth patterns, focusing on the extent of compact versus sprawl development. The main findings reveal that urbanisation levels continue to rise while urban growth rates have slowed. The number of cities increased significantly from 10 (1975) to 33 (2015), with small cities experiencing the fastest growth associated with overcrowded and unplanned settlements. National urban density declined from 1975 to 2000 before a slight rebound in 2015. Although experiences differed across cities, small cities had the highest densities, particularly those with built-up areas under one square kilometre. Despite a general trend toward sprawl, some cities exhibit more contained growth. Population projections suggest that Harare will maintain its primacy, with Chitungwiza becoming the second-largest city by 2050. These trends indicate the need for city-specific policies that promote compact development, integrating land use planning and infrastructure investments that support sustainable urban development.
南部非洲城市公共基础设施的严重短缺主要是由快速城市化造成的。本文评估了津巴布韦的城市化趋势及其对城市规划和政策的影响。该报告利用2015年全球人类住区城市中心数据库的数据,系统分析了40年来的城市增长模式,重点关注紧凑型与蔓延型发展的程度。主要研究结果显示,城市化水平继续上升,而城市增长率有所放缓。城市数量从1975年的10个显著增加到2015年的33个,其中小城市的增长速度最快,这与过度拥挤和无计划的定居点有关。从1975年到2000年,全国城市密度下降,2015年略有反弹。尽管不同城市的经验不同,但小城市的人口密度最高,尤其是那些建成区在一平方公里以下的城市。尽管总体趋势是扩张,但一些城市表现出更有限的增长。人口预测表明哈拉雷将保持其首要地位,到2050年,奇通维扎将成为第二大城市。这些趋势表明,需要制定具体的城市政策,促进紧凑型发展,整合土地利用规划和支持可持续城市发展的基础设施投资。

This paper discusses the future of slow tourism and the recent development of e-mobility, focusing on vehicles powered by electricity, such as pedal-assisted bicycles. E-bikes present a promising opportunity to promote cycling tourism, as they can be used by a wider range of people and cover greater distances. The paper proposes a spatial planning model for designing cycleways equipped with Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) to integrate e-mobility into a slow tourism project. An original mathematical GIS model is presented, along with its application to a case study: the 700-kilometre VENTO cycle route in Italy, which runs from Venice to Turin alongside the Po River. The mathematical model identifies the optimal locations for e-bike charging stations along the VENTO cycleway, based on criteria that combine technological EVSE improvements with a regenerative approach to marginal territories. Stopping to charge an e-bike encourages people to explore the area. This could help to distribute the positive economic impacts of cycling tourism to less attractive areas.
本文讨论了慢旅游的未来和电动交通的最新发展,重点讨论了电动交通工具,如踏板辅助自行车。电动自行车为促进自行车旅游提供了一个有希望的机会,因为它们可以被更广泛的人使用,覆盖更远的距离。本文提出了一种配备电动车辆供应设备(EVSE)的自行车道空间规划模型,将电动交通融入慢旅游项目。本文提出了一个原始的数学GIS模型,并将其应用于一个案例研究:意大利700公里的VENTO自行车路线,从威尼斯到都灵,沿着波河。该数学模型根据EVSE技术改进与边际区域再生方法相结合的标准,确定了VENTO自行车道沿线电动自行车充电站的最佳位置。停下来给电动自行车充电,鼓励人们探索该地区。这有助于将自行车旅游的积极经济影响分配到吸引力较低的地区。

Cities in the loop: A social science perspective on the role of cities in food system circularity 循环中的城市:从社会科学的角度看城市在粮食系统循环中的作用

The transition to a circular food system is crucial to address the environmental pressures, inefficiencies, and socioeconomic inequalities inherent in “linear” food systems. Cities as dense population hubs with substantial food consumption and waste generation, possess considerable—though largely untapped—potential in steering food provisioning systems from a consumption perspective, particularly when equipped with the institutional, economic, and behavioral dimensions for transformative change. Conceptualizing urban food systems as networks of actors, institutions and resources interacting across spatial scales, we argue that food system circularity is critically dependent on multi-level relations and governance structures that go beyond the material dimension of urban food provisioning. Rooted in food system thinking, this paper explores social science approaches to understanding if and how cities can drive and scale food system transitions on the basis of circular principles and practices. We conceptualize circularity as a transformative design principle from an urban food consumption perspective, and identify three key areas where we challenge social scientists and policymakers to seize opportunities for a richer social science perspective on food system circularity: (1) equitable economic relations and (spatial) interdependencies; (2) governance of the social dimension of circularity and (3) implications for everyday food practices and urban resilience. We explore current advancements in each of these social science approaches and provide a roadmap toward food system circularity from an urban perspective.
向循环粮食系统过渡对于解决“线性”粮食系统固有的环境压力、低效率和社会经济不平等至关重要。城市作为人口密集的粮食消费和垃圾产生中心,在从消费角度指导粮食供应系统方面具有巨大的潜力(尽管很大程度上尚未开发),特别是在具备变革所需的制度、经济和行为方面。将城市粮食系统定义为跨空间尺度相互作用的行动者、机构和资源网络,我们认为粮食系统循环严重依赖于超越城市粮食供应物质维度的多层次关系和治理结构。基于粮食系统思维,本文探讨了社会科学方法,以理解城市是否以及如何在循环原则和实践的基础上推动和扩大粮食系统转型。我们从城市食品消费的角度将循环性概念化为一种变革性的设计原则,并确定了三个关键领域,我们挑战社会科学家和政策制定者抓住机会,以更丰富的社会科学视角来看待食品系统的循环性:(1)公平的经济关系和(空间)相互依赖;(2)循环性社会维度的治理;(3)对日常饮食实践和城市韧性的影响。我们探索了这些社会科学方法的当前进展,并从城市的角度提供了食品系统循环的路线图。

The aim of our research is to provide additional evidence of international migration’s impact on economic growth in regions with ageing populations, namely by analysing the impact on rural versus urban areas in Spain. With Spanish provinces categorised as predominantly urban, predominantly rural and intermediate, our analysis considers data at the provincial level (i.e. NUTS 3) from 2000 to 2019 and follows a convergence-style approach. Our estimations suggest that, overall, population ageing does not negatively impact the GDP per capita growth rate for any type of province (i.e. rural, urban and intermediate) but that rural provinces benefit far more than urban ones from international migration as a driver of growth.
我们研究的目的是通过分析对西班牙农村和城市地区的影响,为国际移民对人口老龄化地区经济增长的影响提供额外的证据。由于西班牙各省主要分为城市、农村和中等,我们的分析考虑了2000年至2019年省级(即NUTS 3)的数据,并采用了收敛式方法。我们的估计表明,总体而言,人口老龄化不会对任何类型省份(即农村、城市和中间省份)的人均GDP增长率产生负面影响,但农村省份从国际移民作为增长驱动力中受益的程度远远超过城市省份。

The multidimensional phenomenon of left behindness: a local approach 落伍的多维现象:一种地方方法

Territorial inequalities have become a pressing challenge in Europe, fueling political debates and shaping political responses around the urban-rural dichotomy. In this paper, we present a novel approach by identifying left behind places at a municipal level (LAU2) across 11 European countries. Using the Alkire-Foster family indicators, we construct a multidimensional index incorporating well-known predictors, grouped into four dimensions—Education, Access to infrastructure and Transportation, Employment and Economic Activity, and Demographic and Social Structure. Our findings reveal rural areas are disproportionately affected. Nonetheless, left behindness is a place-specific phenomenon, varying significantly within and across countries. The index decomposability allows for an in-depth assessment by urbanization level, confirming that while economic stagnation and demographic decline are common features, deprivation drivers differ across regions. Our results highlight the importance of place-based policies to address structural disadvantages effectively; they also provide a valuable framework for monitoring spatial inequalities and guiding targeted interventions under the EU Cohesion Policy.
在欧洲,地域不平等已经成为一个紧迫的挑战,引发了围绕城乡二分法的政治辩论,并形成了政治反应。在本文中,我们提出了一种新的方法,即在11个欧洲国家中确定市级(LAU2)的落后地区。利用Alkire-Foster家庭指标,我们构建了一个多维指数,其中包含了众所周知的预测指标,分为四个维度:教育、基础设施和交通、就业和经济活动、人口和社会结构。我们的研究结果显示,农村地区受到的影响尤为严重。然而,落后是一种地方特有的现象,在国家内部和国家之间有很大差异。该指数的可分解性允许按城市化水平进行深入评估,证实虽然经济停滞和人口下降是共同特征,但贫困驱动因素因地区而异。我们的研究结果强调了基于地方的政策对于有效解决结构性劣势的重要性;它们还为监测空间不平等和指导欧盟凝聚力政策下有针对性的干预措施提供了宝贵的框架。
