ABSTRACT This study aims to make a qualitative assessment of the urban management practices in Mashhad, the second largest metropolis of Iran, during the COVID-19 pandemic, and identify challenges, current measures, and future actions. A grounded theory approach has been used. The data was collected using semi-structured interviews, and MAXQDA-12 software was used for the analysis. The results showed that Mashhad urban management practices have faced 11 main obstacles during this pandemic. Current measures and future actions are presented by taking into account the identified obstacles and challenges. The findings can help urban managers to make decisions based on strong evidence.

ABSTRACT This study aims to conceptualise the organisational framing of tourism management in touristified cities, focusing on the assessment of participatory processes of tourism planning. A grounded theory approach is used to analyse and discuss the role of the newly created consultive Tourism Council of Barcelona. An analysis of in-depth interviews undertaken with representatives of local stakeholders led to Common Pool Resources and policy cycle theories as conceptual framework to support a precise characterisation of tourism-related conflicts in Barcelona. The results reveal difficulties to obtain consensual strategic views for tourism development, although working groups contribute to cooperation between stakeholders.

ABSTRACT By exploring and defining characteristics of a smart city research and innovation centre, we contribute to the discussion on smart city development capacity. To do so, using a qualitative method, we review definitions of the concept and map international groups and institutes affiliated with this domain. Our main result is an overview of global research centres dealing with smart cities. One of the key implications of this paper is that instead of a strict definition, the important aspect appears in the framing provided by the complex real-life challenges that require and enable cross-disciplinary research, even though the concept keeps evolving.

ABSTRACT This paper builds on an acceleration mechanisms framework from transition studies and analyzes the role of green events for sustainable urban transformations. We study eight regional garden shows in German small and medium-sized cities, using interview and document data as well as on-site visits for an in-depth qualitative analysis. Our findings reveal that garden shows contribute to urban sustainability through implementing green projects and supporting small initiatives. We find that instrumentalizing and upscaling are crucial mechanisms for accelerating urban transitions, while replicating, partnering and embedding play a supporting role. The importance of these mechanisms, however, varies over time.

ABSTRACT This study analyses intra-urban locational restructuring in the City of Copenhagen ten years after the opening of the Copenhagen Metro in 2002. The locations and growth dynamics of workplaces and employment are examined by examining changes in entry and exit, growth and decline, and relocation in and out of both metro- and non-metro-served areas of the city. As a result, this study demonstrates the strong spatial restructuring that has taken place in the city of Copenhagen by covering multi-dimensional processes, including sectoral shifts, renewal and relocation.

ABSTRACT This work identifies the urban impacts of two FIFA World Cups organised before the consolidation of the urban entrepreneurialism model, Spain 1982 and Italy 1990, and compares them with those of more recent sports mega-events. Main differences mostly concern the impacts related to the material transformation of hosting cities, with more recent events mostly affected. At the same time, most of the outcomes related to the urban politics sphere seem not to be much dependent on the type of governance model, whether it is influenced by entrepreneurial urbanism or not.

ABSTRACT Public spaces have witnessed unprecedented circumstances during the Covid-19 crisis. Concepts such as liveability, walkability, and placemaking are being probed to delve into the future roles of public spaces. In Cairo, public spaces earned appreciation during the lockdown, and new space users appeared, engaging in daily needs of socialising and exercising. Through documenting changes in Cairo’s public space policy owing to the pandemic, it was proved that citizens could survive and adapt to the crisis with some spatial policy implications.

ABSTRACT In The Netherlands, post-war urban renewal policies have emerged under the influence of various welfare regimes. Corporatist and social democratic regimes promoted social justice, social cohesion, inclusion and redistribution of income; urban renewal policies stimulated social mix and area-based interventions. Both public and market partners and residents were involved. Liberal ideas became increasingly explicit from the 1990s, and became dominant after 2010. Individuality, ‘citizens own responsibility’, and cuts in public services were leading objectives. Private investors and entrepreneurs were leading the renewal, facilitated by the state. In this paper we focus on the most recent policies and their effects.

ABSTRACT Urban policies on health and nutrition in Nigeria are much in need. To underscore the reality of such need, we conducted a review of selected urban health and nutrition policies and strategies. We used an appropriate framework by Bandauko that outlines the content of a good urban policy for high-level analysis of the reviewed policies and strategies. Our review discovered neglect of urban health in Nigeria, evidence by a lack of urban health-focused policies. On urban nutrition, policies and strategies are rather aimed at enhancing the political-economy of a few, than improving nutritional levels of the people. Overall, the policies were barely effective owing to how they are developed, implemented and evaluated.
