ABSTRACT Located in the heart of Montreal’s Quartier des Spectacles, the Habitations Jeanne-Mance is a vast social housing scheme that contrasts starkly with the Quebec metropolis’s cultural showcase. However, despite their differences, these urban projects have been subject to similar beautification practices. Both have drawn on public art and culture as resources, but the two beautification processes have taken different forms. In the Quartier des Spectacles, they have been aimed at attracting audiences, while in the Habitations Jeanne-Mance, they have sought to reinforce a sense of belonging. In this article, we analyse how these symbolic recoding processes have interconnected and overlapped.
位于蒙特利尔的Quartier des Spectacles中心,Jeanne-Mance是一个巨大的社会住房方案,与魁北克大都市的文化展示形成鲜明对比。然而,尽管存在差异,这些城市项目都受到了类似的美化实践的影响。两者都以公共艺术和文化为资源,但两种美化过程的形式不同。在眼镜区,他们的目的是吸引观众,而在让-曼斯居住区,他们试图加强归属感。在本文中,我们分析了这些符号编码过程是如何相互联系和重叠的。

ABSTRACT Informal settlements in Jakarta are known as ‘kampungs,’ which are classified as illegally constructed areas upon urban land. This paper presents a community-based approach to empower kampungs in Jakarta. The approach aims at creating an enabling environment to connect the kampungs with the market and help the kampungs fight against economic and social marginalization through emerging entrepreneurship, increased level of production and higher income. Eventually, the kampungs are expected to have bargaining power even for their land tenure to the government.

ABSTRACT This article explores the conditions under which institutional and cultural innovations have taken place in two Greek cities: Athens and Elefsina. Against the backdrop of the economic crisis (as well as the refugee influx), both cities made an effort to promote innovative policies in order to deal with fierce economic and social implications of the crises, while at the same time developing a new narrative for themselves. The study shows that Athens and Elefsina have, to a great extent, succeed in reinventing themselves, though certain challenges lie ahead.

ABSTRACT This study examines the job-access inequity between the richest 10% and poorest 40% transit-based workers across space (i.e. central city, the inner-ring/outer-ring suburb) and race (i.e. white, black and Hispanic) in Chicago. The results indicate that there are job-access inequities across both space and race. In terms of job-access inequity across race, there are more job-access inequities for whites and blacks than for Hispanics. In terms of job-access inequity across space, the central city has the least cross-race inequities while the outer-ring suburb has the most cross-race inequities. Overall, job-access inequities are more serious across space than across race.

ABSTRACT Conformance between plans and expected plan outcomes is at the heart of urban planning processes. Integrating an empirical evaluation and stakeholders’ experience of the realisation of intended intensification goals, this article presents the contradictions between the plan instruments and the anticipated plan outcomes to enable higher intensification than the superseded plans. The findings suggest that statutory land use planning should be accompanied by a thorough outcome-based evaluation and a review of conflicting planning tasks and purposes. The article concludes with recommendations for planning monitoring and strengthening the statutory plan to achieve its expectations.

ABSTRACT This paper intends to fill a gap in critical smart city scholarship regarding the Central Eastern European (CEE) context. To this end, smart city understandings and practices in Hungary’s five (non-capital) major cities are examined through a discourse-analytical focus on relevant municipal planning documents, existing interventions and key actors’ interpretations. The paper concludes that although smart city building in Hungary in many ways aligns with trends in the Global North and South, there are also notable differences that need to be contextualized in the country’s historically shaped trajectory of urban (policy) development, especially its post-socialist institutional path-dependencies.

ABSTRACT Graffiti is an important theme for our understanding of subcultural urban space and the ‘shadows’ of the city. This paper examines their spatial concentration in Holešovice district of the Czech capital Prague. Four theories have been used to explain the spatiality of graffiti: territorial markers, broken window, spot theory, and political symbolic space. While the first three theories all explain the spatial distribution of graffiti, they are each limited when applied to political graffiti. Conversely, the theory of political symbolic space, based on David Harvey’s relative space and Henri Lefebvre’s representational space, helps explain the concentration of political graffiti.
