Mismatches between energy consumption and population have been identified as key factors in generating energy deficiency. Previous studies have focused on assessing mismatches between energy consumption and population on a global scale owing to insufficient data of sufficient spatiotemporal resolution. In this study, we propose a methodology for quantifying such mismatches using mobile phone signaling data and remote sensing nighttime light data at the global and regional scales in two cities. The mobile phone signaling data were useful for assessing global and regional mismatches between energy consumption and population. The underallocation of energy dominated the central urban areas of the study area. The underallocation of energy was more marked on weekdays. Three forms of mismatch were found in the study areas: U, inverted U, and near-linear-shaped. The job–house balance was negatively associated with regional mismatches between population and energy consumption over time. The job-house balance is negative with energy mismatches. This study measured the mismatch between energy and population at multiple spatial scales and provides scientific support for local energy allocation.
能源消耗与人口之间的不匹配被认为是造成能源短缺的关键因素。由于缺乏足够时空分辨率的数据,以往的研究侧重于评估全球范围内能源消耗与人口之间的不匹配。在本研究中,我们提出了一种方法,利用移动电话信令数据和遥感夜间光线数据,在全球和区域范围内对两个城市的能源消耗和人口之间的不匹配进行量化。手机信号数据有助于评估全球和区域能源消耗与人口之间的不匹配。能源分配不足的情况主要出现在研究区域的中心城区。能源分配不足在工作日更为明显。研究地区发现了三种错配形式:U型、倒 U 型和近线型。随着时间的推移,职住平衡与地区人口和能源消耗之间的不匹配呈负相关。就业-住房平衡与能源错配呈负相关。这项研究在多个空间尺度上测量了能源与人口之间的不匹配,为地方能源分配提供了科学支持。

Identifying the locations of pedestrian crashes in cities contributes to the full implementation of sustainable transportation for all road users. This study examines the pedestrian crash data of Konya, Türkiye, from 2017 to 2022. First, the dangerous and safe road networks in Konya province were identified. Then, spatial and temporal analyses were performed. Kernel density estimation analysis was used to identify five critical locations with high pedestrian crash density. Hotspot analysis was used to identify roads where crashes showed clustering characteristics. Buffer analysis was used to analyse the effectiveness of traffic lights in preventing crashes and three locations where traffic lights were inadequate in preventing crashes were identified. According to the temporal evaluation, pedestrian crashes increased the most at 8 am and 6 pm. Locations where the number of crashes decreased over time were identified by examining the temporal changes in pedestrian crashes using space-time cube analysis. This study highlights the positive effects of improvements in the pedestrian environment on pedestrian safety. New hotspots have emerged in several areas. Therefore, this approach is valuable for early prevention. With the methodology used in the study, the locations of pedestrian crashes and the cause-and-effect relationships of crashes can be evaluated.

The rampant urbanization process has highlighted the need of an efficient governance for urban areas. Nevertheless, cities must face the challenge of adapting to technology advances arising from the digital era we are living in. Under this context, urban digital twins (UDTs) have recently superseded smart cities in the attempt of improving the management of city resources and the live of citizens through the use of sophisticated technology. Although the governance of smart cities has been broadly handled in the literature, the influence of UDTs on urban governance still remains unaddressed. This article aims at closing this gap by developing a framework to assess the contribution of UDTs in the governance of cities. A mixed methodology combining an in-depth literature review, a four-round Delphi technique and the Best-Worst multi-criteria decision making method was implemented to this end. The new instrument consists of a two-tier scheme comprising 7 categories and 33 attributes, of which 26 were deemed as essential for an efficient governance. Institutional dimension prevailed over the remaining sustainability domains. Three performance thresholds were defined: low governance, average governance and high governance. The application of the rating system to the UDT of Singapore as case study determined a high level of governance for this city. Some policies were however recommended to strengthen gaps found in Singapore.

Recent studies have emphasized cities' need to confront diverse urban challenges. Smart cities offer technological solutions; however, there is a knowledge gap in terms of understanding the effects of technological adoption in cities. Technology adoption in cities must carefully consider technological feasibility, local sentiments, cultural diversity, governance structure, and various socioeconomic aspects. To address this gap, this study investigated smart city development strategies and focused on their integration into urban development plans in Siheung-si in South Korea and NeoCity in Florida. In addition, this study examined the socioeconomic considerations before implementing technology, covering land, infrastructure, people, and governance. Our findings highlight the benefits of effective government-to-government partnerships, emphasizing the importance of knowledge sharing within the smart city ecosystem. This government-to-government partnership serves as a guiding principle for future research and policy interventions.

The current body of literature allows discerning two predominant approaches for comprehending technology-based surveillance in modern societies: surveillance society and security state, developing within the domains of surveillance studies and security studies, respectively. These perspectives offer diverging explanations for the implementation of video surveillance in urban spaces and rarely engage in dialogue. This paper explores whether applying both approaches might be beneficial for understanding the reasons behind the deployment of Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV), as constructed in the legislation and perceived by those involved in tackling urban insecurity. The study focuses on two European cities, Budapest and Milan, selected as the most diverse cases, but sharing the problem of urban insecurity. The surveillance society approach offers a vantage point for the analysis of the legal documents, highlighting the positive construction of the technology as a multi-purpose tool, its symbolic role in security provision, and the central role of authorities in security provision. In contrast, the interview data indicates that both approaches might contribute to understanding social constructs existing around the implementation of CCTV in urban spaces. Although theoretical aspects within each approach are shared across contexts, the nuances of their manifestations in these cities are influenced by variations in historical, socio-economic, and political contexts.

This paper is focused on the multidimensional assessment of over 1300 cities and regions in Europe based on a powerful and policy-relevant set of 17 smart and sustainable performance indicators. Our approach, based on Shmelev and Shmeleva (2018), is driven by alternative policy priorities expressed in different sets of weights, emphasizing economic, social, smart or environmental aspects of urban performance. Using multiple-criteria decision analysis, the cities and regions were ranked, and well performing cities were selected for a detailed analysis of their policies. Among the best performing cities are Stockholm, Paris and London. The detailed rankings under environmental, economic, social and smart policy priorities are analyzed further. The article examines correlations between indicators including GRP, patents, PM10 pollution, life expectancy and depicts the final smart and sustainable ranking in a GIS format. Our detailed assessment thus allows one to understand the impact of key policies implemented by the leading municipalities, and offers insights on the necessary steps that could be taken by cities and municipalities to improve their smart and sustainable performance. The set of tools developed by Environment Europe Foundation will support the process to generate recommendations for actionable steps and policies for cities around the world.

Most of the population in the future will live in urban areas, and the demand for cultural ecosystem services is expected to grow. Peri-urban ecosystems are highly pressured, often leading to conflicting management situations that vary with the socioeconomic scenario. Understanding what is known about the relationships between cultural services and peri-urban areas can enhance natural resource management. A quantitative review of recent literature shows the global trends and patterns based on socio-cultural valuation approaches. From this analysis, we have revealed that cultural services in peri-urban areas have become more significant, and a dominant global pattern is linking peripherical forest ecosystems with outdoor recreation and aesthetic values. Additionally, agricultural areas were associated with environmental education in the global North. At the same time, in the South, low perception of cultural services was clustered with informal settlements near or around a peri-urban landscape. Based on this quantitative review, we provide several knowledge gaps that could guide six future research directions.

Residence and work-related choices are commonly assumed interdependent and associated with some other individuals' and households' life events as well as people's socio-demographics. This paper proposes an integrated dynamic model to capture the determinants of residential and work-related mobilities, taking into account their associations with other life events. The change of employment is modeled with its multi-dimensional features, i.e., change of working hours and change of work place location, while residential mobility is modeled through the change of residential location as well as with whom within the household the move out take place. The Dutch micro-population data from 2015 to 2019 provided by the Netherlands CBS (Census Bureau of Statistics) are used to train and validate a dynamic Bayesian network (DBN) model. The integrated model has a high prediction precision with an average of 89.77% across life events. The results suggest that other life events, such as getting married or divorced, significantly affect the relocation of residence, while changes in working hours strongly influence the work place relocation. However, the relocations of residence and work place in the Netherlands appeared not to be directly intertwined.

Intra-urban residential mobility has become increasingly frequent and is contributing to changes in urban spatial structure with the reform of China's urban housing system. Supported by multi-source data and taking life course theory as a research perspective, this study identifies the relocation network between research spatial units and relocation intensity within research units of residents of different age groups within the 4th ring road of Wuhan. Employing the community detection algorithm and spatial autocorrelation index, the differences in relocation features among different age groups are analyzed; based on the findings of the spatial lag model, a model of the relationship between the built environment factors and relocation intensity is proposed. This study finds that there are differences in relocation network and community structure between residents of different age groups, and the differences exhibit a distribution connected to age groups in their significance levels. Inflow and outflow intensity of residents in different age groups have differences in relocation frequency characteristics and location distribution. Built environment indicators are important influencing factors in relocation decisions, and the type of mechanism by which each factor influences the relocation intensity varies between different age groups.

The integration of digital technologies into urban practices has expanded opportunities for citizen participation and enabled more effective data-driven decision-making. Despite these advancements, challenges such as complex data management and equitable public engagement persist. These challenges are amplified in densely populated cities like Singapore, where the demand for effective and inclusive digital participation frameworks is paramount. Accordingly, this research aims to develop an assessment framework specifically for digital participation processes in such urban contexts through a two-stage analytical methodology. The first stage involves semi-structured interviews with stakeholders, including urban designers and planners, authorities, and residents, to explore challenges and perspectives qualitatively. These qualitative data are then rigorously analyzed using thematic coding. The second stage involves opinion surveys, the results of which are subjected to Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) to yield a quantitative assessment tool. The findings identify critical success factors, including the need for context-specific interventions, active engagement between residents and designers, integration of multi-scale datasets, and the use of structured evaluation metrics. By employing this integrated approach, the research provides a comprehensive and actionable framework to enhance digital citizen participation in urban contexts for both macro-environmental and micro-cultural decisions in post-participation.

The second stage involves opinion surveys, the results of which are subjected to Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) to yield a quantitative assessment tool. The findings identify critical success factors, including the need for context-specific interventions, active engagement between residents and designers, integration of multi-scale datasets, and the use of structured evaluation metrics. By employing this integrated approach, the research provides a comprehensive and actionable framework to enhance digital citizen participation in urban contexts for both macro-environmental and micro-cultural decisions in post-participation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48405,"journal":{"name":"Cities","volume":"156 ","pages":"Article 105545"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142552366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
