Fishes navigate through underwater environments with remarkable spatial precision and memory. Freshwater and seawater species make use of several orientation strategies for adaptative behavior that is on par with terrestrial organisms, and research on cognitive mapping and landmark use in fish have shown that relational and associative spatial learning guide goal-directed navigation not only in terrestrial but also in aquatic habitats. In the past thirty years, researchers explored spatial cognition in fishes in relation to the use of environmental geometry, perhaps because of the scientific value to compare them with land-dwelling animals. Geometric navigation involves the encoding of macrostructural characteristics of space, which are based on the Euclidean concepts of "points", "surfaces", and "boundaries". The current review aims to inspect the extant literature on navigation by geometry in fishes, emphasizing both the recruitment of visual/extra-visual strategies and the nature of the behavioral task on orientation performance.

Abstract Research on anchor institutions and studentification largely neglects U.S. universities’ police, who often have legal arrest powers as well as firearms. Using mobile GIS methods, this paper investigates how police communications shape campus neighborhoods in two different U.S. universities: Georgia Institute of Technology and Georgia State University. Police communications through Clery Act notices amplify racist discourse about crime fears, but more so at the predominately white institution with non-local students. Notices can increase neighborhood stigma and alter student behaviors. The paper highlights how Clery notices may affect neighborhood property values through amplifying stigma, and the actions U.S. academics may take to shape police at their universities.

fl ood resilient spatial planning in two case studies in the Netherlands. In the Dutch Multi-Layer Safety concept, fl ood resilient spatial planning is considered as the second layer in between direct fl ood protection ( fi rst layer) and crisis management (third layer). The paper provides a useful practice-informed framework to assess fl ood resilient spatial planning from the spatial-physical and institu-tional-organizational dimensions. The authors argue that as maximum fl ood depths in deltaic and coastal areas in the Netherlands are generally very deep, there is a limit to fl ood resilient spatial planning, especially when fi nancial resources and cost-bene fi t analysis are considered. Comparatively speaking, the institutional barriers such as raising awareness, enhancing collaboration or concerted responsibilities to fl ood resilient spatial planning are more surmountable and may create synergy with other aspects of urban developments. the heterogeneity of “ public interests ” involved when a government plays a “ hybrid ” role (as an entrepreneur as well as a regulator) to transact or contract with the private sector.

Grassroots-led models of housing delivery are experiencing growth in many countries as alternatives to mainstream, top-down housing models. These encompass a diverse assemblage of housing types, delivery methods, social relationships and organisational structures, whose common feature is involvement of residents and/or other local stakeholders in the design, delivery, ownership and management of homes. This article sets out to capture the essential characteristics of “ community housing ” across the devolved jurisdictions of the UK Since there is no single de fi nition of “ community housing, ” I start off by attempting to de fi ne what the term might mean, before looking at factors which have historically both contributed to and inhibited the development and survival of community housing in different communities in UK. This allows me to consider how those factors might play out in future before offering some conclusions on what might be needed for community housing to be able to expand in a North American context.

Large digital corporations (LDCs) are forging their central position in cities by asserting themselves as the sole providers of so-called essential urban infrastructures, i.e. new technologies. Barnes (2020) has argued that platform services provided by LDCs are the millennial equivalent to the railway infrastructures that transformed patterns of transport and communications at the end of the 19th century. That is, platform services are increasingly integral to the functioning of cities today, and one ought to thus consider the arrival of “platform urbanism” (2020). In this paper, we reflect on another time period of dramatic infrastructural change in North American and European cities, and highlight the similarity between patterns of urban development at that time and those we see today unfolding under the leadership of LDCs. Rather than focussing on the technological products themselves, however, we reflect instead on the similarities in behaviour and styles of urban governance. We recall the American “tech giants” of the early to mid-20th century in the north-eastern United States and how they pushed for a certain spatial development, which for some represented the height of state-of-the-art innovation and modernity at the time. Robert Moses was one such “giant” (Caro, 1975), “tycoon” (Ahearn, 2010, p. 137), “despotic city planner” (Wainwright, 2017), and “tempestuous, arrogant and very effective bureaucrat,” (Gutman, 2008 p. 534) who – among other things, such as the neglect of NYC neighbourhoods, (Ahearn, 2010) – is widely accredited with the modernization of New York City and State during the first half of the 20th century. Moses is remembered for both the mass construction of toll roads and highway infrastructure; that is, building his “cult of the automobile” (2010, p. 145). He was also known for his formidable talent in strong-arming urban and regional development to suit his objectives (Ahearn, 2010; Caro, 1975; Kaufman 1975). In this contribution, we reflect on how Amazon or Alphabet Inc., armed with significant financial power (Fernandez et al., 2020), are similarly able to bully the field of urban development to suit their own interests, even if they are not civil servants working for the state, as Moses was. We reflect on the cases of Alphabet Inc.’s proposed project in Toronto, and Amazon’s search for a second headquarters (HQ2) in New York City (NYC), and argue that both LDCs drove a style of urban development that depended on brokering power. In this entry, we reflect on this parallel followed by some of the lessons to be learned.
大型数字公司(最不发达国家)声称自己是所谓的基本城市基础设施(即新技术)的唯一提供者,正在巩固其在城市中的中心地位。Barnes(2020)认为,最不发达国家提供的平台服务相当于19世纪末改变运输和通信模式的铁路基础设施。也就是说,平台服务对当今城市的运作越来越不可或缺,因此我们应该考虑“平台城市主义”(2020)的到来。在本文中,我们反思了北美和欧洲城市基础设施发生巨大变化的另一个时期,并强调了当时的城市发展模式与我们今天看到的最不发达国家领导下的城市发展模式之间的相似性。然而,我们没有关注技术产品本身,而是反思了城市治理行为和风格的相似性。我们回想起20世纪初至中期在美国东北部的美国“科技巨头”,以及他们如何推动某种空间发展,对一些人来说,这代表了当时最先进的创新和现代性的高度。罗伯特·摩西就是这样一个“巨人”(卡罗,1975年)、“大亨”(埃亨,2010年,第137页)、“专横的城市规划师”(温赖特,2017年)和“暴躁、傲慢和非常有效的官僚”(古特曼,2008年,第534页),他在20世纪上半叶被广泛认为与纽约市和纽约州的现代化有关,其中包括对纽约市社区的忽视(埃亨,2010年)。摩西因大规模建设收费公路和高速公路基础设施而被人们铭记;也就是说,建立他的“汽车崇拜”(2010年,第145页)。他还以其强大的城市和区域发展才能而闻名,以实现他的目标(Ahearn, 2010;卡罗,1975;考夫曼1975)。在这篇文章中,我们反思了亚马逊或Alphabet Inc.如何拥有巨大的财政权力(Fernandez et al., 2020),同样能够欺负城市发展领域以满足自己的利益,即使他们不是像摩西那样为国家工作的公务员。我们反思了Alphabet公司在多伦多的拟议项目,以及亚马逊在纽约市(NYC)寻找第二总部(HQ2)的案例,并认为这两个最不发达国家都推动了一种依赖中介力量的城市发展风格。在这篇文章中,我们对这种相似之处进行了反思,并总结了一些值得借鉴的教训。

Abstract This article examines professional lobbying in urban planning and the related decision-making process, as perceived by lobbyists, planners, and politicians in Finland. The implications as to the transparency of planning are particularly discussed. Transparency is generally considered a key value of public governance under democratic control, while for professional lobbying a key asset is its ability to manage transparency and publicity. Examining lobbying in planning complements the picture of planning transparency, the deficiency of which has been identified as a problem of democracy. The prevailing transparency discourse appears to oppose the practices of publicity management, but does it produce only ostensible improvements to planning democracy? The emerging picture of planning transparency suggests that transparency, and thus democratic practices, play a smaller role in the legitimacy in planning than generally thought.

Abstract Most planning theories are based on the assumption that there is a homogenous public interest. However, planning agencies are driven by multiple and conflicting interests in practice. This article conceptualises and empirically investigates these interests in an “extreme case” of active public land policy: the Dutch state selling Amsterdam’s Bijlmer prison. Three types of dilemmas or conflicting interests that arose in the Bijlmer prison case are examined: prioritising price or social value, organizing a private transaction or a public tender, and choosing flexibility or certainty. Although these are matters of principle, subjective, pragmatic and context-specific choices determine the ultimate balance.

Abstract Around the world, deltaic and coastal regions like the Netherlands are facing challenges from climate, change such as sea-level rise as well as more frequent and extreme natural events. Since 2009, the Dutch government has tried to mitigate flood vulnerability by deploying a balanced mix of flood protection measures, resilient spatial planning and crisis management (Multi-Layer Safety). However, recent evaluations have concluded that resilient spatial planning is (too) limitedly applied in practice. This article aims to understand the barriers and opportunities for resilient spatial planning in flood risk management by comparing two cases where resilient spatial planning was opted for: Dordrecht and the IJssel-Vecht Delta. The study suggests a large gap between the wide array of possible measures, and those that are actually realized in practice. Three physical-spatial barriers were identified: maximum flood depths, lack of space, and rigidity of the existing built environment. Additionally, institutional-organizational barriers were found, including: a false, low or non-existent safety perception or risk awareness, and therefore a lack of urgency to act; a lack of political and societal support; a suboptimal collaboration between stakeholders; ambiguity regarding responsibilities; finances and a cost-benefit imbalance; and a lack of human capital. Subsequently, the article explores possibilities to overcome these barriers. Overcoming these barriers can pave pathways for flood resilient spatial planning. The institutional-organizational barriers appear surmountable, whereas the physical-spatial barriers prove to be more problematic and form the most important restrictive factor for resilient spatial planning in flood risk management.

Abstract Sustainable transformation is hampered by conflicting goals. Here we examine how goal conflicts are handled in planning practice, focusing on processes around municipal climate and sustainability governance. We investigate local manifestations of goal conflicts between transport and land use planning and emissions reductions in three Norwegian cities, using document analysis, interviews and observation. We find that governance actors handle goal conflicts through what we term strategies of displacement. We identify three such strategies: temporal, sectorial and scalar. The research contributes to explaining how and why goal conflicts persist in planning practice.

Abstract Some claim that planning has a “dark” side which is expressed in policies and practices that disadvantage minorities and less powerful groups. This article explores how revisions to an aspect of English planning legislation, plus the linked adoption by local planning authorities of “restrictive” development policies, may disproportionately affect the housing choices of young, lower-income adults. Combining documentary research, secondary data analysis and Yiftachel’s conceptual framework of “planning as social control,” it examines how the legislation and policy might limit the supply of an accommodation type popular with this group, and the resulting social, political and economic effects. The implications for planning theory and practice are considered.
