It is asserted that mixed-tenure public housing redevelopments can improve informal social control in targeted neighborhoods. We investigate this question using a validated measure of collective efficacy from a survey of residents in Toronto’s Regent Park neighborhood. We find that social housing residents report higher perceived levels of collective efficacy than do residents of the market buildings and that households with children report higher perceptions of collective efficacy than do households without children. Our findings provide some support for existing best practices, particularly the provision of amenities for families and the preservation of social ties among social tenants.

Residential developers have found footholds in university-adjacent neighborhoods, though the extent of this trend is unclear. We examine rental construction near 168 major U.S. universities with neighborhood data covering 2000 to 2018. We find that more rental units were built near larger universities with growing enrollments and limited dormitory capacity. University-adjacent rental development varied widely across urban contexts, and was most common in low-mid-rent neighborhoods with similar precedents. More large-scale rental housing was built in medium-sized cities with higher housing prices yet slower rising rents. Findings suggest the importance of municipal and university roles in residential development, including local regulations and dormitory investments.

Urban planning education emphasizes professional development and career preparedness. Undergraduate programs can recruit a broader diversity of students to planning but require different approaches to professional development than graduate programs. In this paper, we evaluate existing research on undergraduate and graduate planning education in the United States. Using a survey of undergraduates and an assessment of studio learning outcomes, we explore student perspectives on professional development. Students see value in technical skills and networking but less in community-based projects. We also find that using individual development plans in studio learning helps undergraduate students see the value of ongoing professional development.

This study underscores the impact of Latino-led commercial gentrification on the political and cultural empowerment of the Latino community. The study is based on interviews, observations, and document analysis in Barrio Logan, San Diego. I propose the concept of “ political Gentefiers” and map activism patterns through which Latino gentrifiers engage in urban politics and planning. Although Latino gentrifiers enhance the community’s political and cultural power, their activity generates ambivalence among residents and gives rise to controversial local politics. The research findings shed light on Latino gentrifiers’ conflicting positionalities and roles in the processes of gentrification and the multiple inequalities in the Barrio.

While logistics has come to be understood as central to the functioning of global and urban economies, this field is often ignored by urban planners. This literature review presents a broad discussion of the links between the logistics industry and a series of urban planning concerns, including spatial reorganization, real estate markets, urban planning, labor, and urban governance. We develop a framework around the forces shaping the supply of, and demand for, land for logistics to engage with current conversations in urban studies on the production of urban spaces, as well as to assist urban and regional planners.

Public participation is increasingly designed and facilitated by specially trained practitioners drawn from within the planning profession as well as outside of it. This shift is at least partially driven by the rise of new training and certification schemes. Drawing on exploratory interviews, and the example of the International Association for Public Participation in Canada and Australia, this paper highlights how these new forms of expertise are changing planners’ relationships with public participation. Our research reveals several points of tension, including a bifurcation between planning and public participation professionals along with a consolidation around narrowed ideas of public participation.
公众参与越来越多地由规划行业内外经过专门培训的从业人员来设计和推动。这种转变至少部分是由新的培训和认证计划的兴起所推动的。本文以探索性访谈为基础,以加拿大和澳大利亚的国际公众参与协会(International Association for Public Participation)为例,重点阐述了这些新形式的专业知识如何改变规划师与公众参与之间的关系。我们的研究揭示了几个紧张点,包括规划和公众参与专业人员之间的分化,以及围绕狭隘的公众参与理念的整合。

The planning profession sits at the forefront of local climate adaptation action. Yet, novel challenges exist for coordinating and implementing comprehensive actions. Through key actor interviews, this qualitative study examines the role of planners in navigating these challenges. In order to understand how planners are being prepared for this role, attention to how climate adaptation features in required courses across accredited planning programs in Canada is included. This study finds that while planners excel at a range of key skills related to communication, in the context of climate adaptation, these strengths are constrained by a lack of technical knowledge.

Urban research has scarcely investigated the planning context of the “ruralopolis”—poor and predominantly agrarian regions of the Global South with very high population densities. Today, some of these regions are urbanizing, in the sense that elements of urbanism beyond density, such as a large non-farm economy, are emerging. This paper uses a case study of an Indian district in Bihar to investigate urbanizing ruralopolis settlements. I identify and discuss the planning implications of three distinctive features of their urbanization: circular out-migration, a non-farm economy rooted in consumption and survival entrepreneurship, and shifts in agrarian social hierarchies that present progressive possibilities.

The Gent Sint-Pieters (GSP) project, an infrastructure and urban renewal project in Ghent, Belgium, can be considered a typical example of transit-oriented development (TOD). TOD can have significant effects on surrounding neighborhoods and their characteristics. In this study, a difference-in-difference model was used to measure changes in income level, educational attainment and house prices resulting from the GSP project. Although research demonstrates that TOD can lead to changes in the composition of neighborhoods and property values, our results show no significant causal effects, indicating that the local context determines whether, to what extent and in what way neighborhood changes occur.
Gent Sint-Pieters(GSP)项目是比利时根特市的一个基础设施和城市改造项目,可被视为公交导向开发(TOD)的典型范例。TOD 可对周边街区及其特征产生重大影响。本研究采用差分模型来衡量 GSP 项目对收入水平、教育程度和房价的影响。尽管研究表明 TOD 可导致社区构成和房产价值的变化,但我们的结果显示并没有显著的因果效应,这表明当地环境决定了社区是否会发生变化,以及变化的程度和方式。

The impact of transit investment on the access to economic opportunities and income inequality is an important question for researchers, transportation planners, and policymakers. This research conducts a comprehensive panel data analysis on the association between different types of transit investment (rail and non-rail) and various measures of income inequality for all U.S. Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) from 2011 to 2017. We find a significant effect of transit investment on reducing Gini coefficient and poverty rate in large MSAs with over a million population. The impacts seem to be driven mainly by adding new rail systems to traditional non-rail systems.
