Tayeb S: Cities Are Choices

Cities Are Choices

Routledge Advanced Texts in Economics and Finance

Now in its second edition, Applied Spatial Statistics and Econometrics offers a modern and accessible introduction to spatial data analysis using R. Emphasising reproducibility, real-world datasets, and practical workflows, this comprehensive guide introduces spatial thinking from a critical analytical perspective, highlighting the importance of location, distance, and neighbourhood effects in shaping social and economic phenomena.Readers are guided through foundational concepts, including spatial data structures (areal, point, and grid data), visualisation techniques, and spatial econometric models such as spatial lag, spatial error, and spatial Durbin specifications. Updates reflect the substantial evolution of spatial models and R packages, such as the transition to sf and terra, enhancements to spatstat, new tools for spatial sampling and bootstrap, and fully reproducible analyses with complete R code. Topics include geographically weighted regression, spatial point pattern analysis, DEGURBA classification and spatial principal component analysis.Accompanied by datasets and complete R code on GitHub and RPubs, the book enables readers to replicate analyses and adapt methods to their own research. It is an essential resource for advanced students of econometrics, spatial planning, and regional science, as well as researchers and data scientists seeking to harness the power of spatial analysis for evidence-based insights and policy recommendations.

Regional Studies Policy Impact Books

Going Circular explores the concept of a circular economy (CE) and its transformative potential for cities and regions. It emphasises the importance of spatial planning and the role of urban and regional authorities in driving the transition to a more sustainable, resilient and inclusive economic and societal model. The authors offer a critical perspective, arguing that there is no onesize-fits-all approach to regional and urban CE policies. Instead, they advocate for a context-specific understanding of CE, emphasising the importance of: local and regional conditions for circular activities; the spatial patterns in resource stocks and flows within territories, and the need to engage a range of stakeholders and communities in decision-making processes.Going Circular tackles the pivotal policy issues and challenges related to CE transitions in cities and regions. It will inform and equip public and private policymakers, urban planners and regional authorities with the knowledge and tools needed to foster a CE and nudge cities and regions towards sustainable futures.Despite extensive data and knowledge available on cities and regions, terms such as 'circularity', 'economy' and 'space' often remain disjointed for researchers, policymakers and practitioners alike. This book presents a frank and insightful exploration of the spatial dimension of the circular economy, challenging assumptions and idealisms. It provides practical opportunities for action by underscoring the importance of geopolitics, empathy and justice, ecosystems restoration, and assessment of progress on the transition pathways towards a circular economy. The book equips readers with language and visual concepts needed to engage with and communicate this topic confidently. I highly recommend it as both an introduction and a refresher on the topic of circular regions and cities.Adrian Vickery Hill, Strategist and designer - director, Osmos NetworkThis book outlines a path to trigger circular economy processes that can transform cities and regions, guiding them towards a more resilient and sustainable future, while producing context-appropriate solutions. Circular economy is a context-specific, place-based process that requires a holistic and systemic perspective, in which space plays a crucial role. In six thematic chapters, the book proposes a pathway analysing several key issues: the spatial dimension of circular economy; the opportunities for more ecologically healthy, resource-sufficient metropolitan regions; the integration of social justice and the concept of "care-full" circular economy; the ecological implications of the transition in line with the urban circular bioeconomy; the multidimensional assessment of the transition progress and cross-level interdependencies; as well as policy recommendations for multi-level governance at various scales. This book provides an inspiring perspective on circular economy, not only as a technical and economic challenge, but also as a social and political opportunity. It is highly recommended for anyone interested in fostering a more sustainable and circular future for our cities.Prof. Maria Cerreta, University of Naples "Federico II"

New Frontiers in Regional Science: Asian Perspectives

This book explores how regions can thrive beyond traditional agglomeration economies by leveraging the concept of “borrowed size” — the ability of smaller or peripheral areas to benefit from proximity to large urban centers without hosting large-scale economic activity themselves. Focusing exclusively on Japanese prefectures, the book provides comprehensive empirical analyses of how spatial interdependencies shape regional productivity, efficiency, and innovation performance.It is the first study to systematically examine the effects of borrowed size on total factor productivity convergence, productive efficiency, and regional innovation using official regional statistics, including patent indicators and other publicly available data. The book also introduces the concept of the “shadow of agglomeration,” highlighting potential negative externalities associated with urban concentration.Challenging the classical understanding of agglomeration, this volume contributes a new theoretical and empirical framework for understanding regional resilience in the post-growth era. It provides robust evidence and analytical tools that will be valuable to scholars, regional planners, and policymakers seeking sustainable strategies for innovation-led regional development.

Sustainable Urban Design

This book focuses on the latest development of green design covering products, buildings and cities, including the related concepts, evaluation methods, and key technologies. It is divided into two parts, directly corresponding to the process from green design to carbon-neutral design. The first part comprehensively introduces contemporary green design from definitions, development, theoretical evolution, updated criteria, to evaluation methods. With a focus on green product design, green architecture design, and green city planning, it discusses evaluation methods and key technologies of green design. The second part systematically demonstrates the transformation of design paradigms from the perspective of carbon neutrality, from global Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality actions, carbon-neutral enterprises, carbon-neutral buildings, carbon-neutral cities, to evaluation methods and strategies for carbon-neutral design.The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.

IPP Studies in the Frontiers of China’s Public Policy

This book explores the roles of land and housing in the China economic development. The real estate sector in China has two opposite effects on the urban economy. On one hand, it provides funds for urban development and on the other hand, its excessive expansion would depress the urban growth. To balance the two effects, the governments try to adjust their regulation policies dynamically. These policies to a great extent determine the rise and fall of urban economy. This book is divided in to four parts. The first part elaborates the relationship between the real estate sector and urban economy and explains the mechanism of the former’s impact on the later. The second part investigates the interaction of the real estate sector and the industrial sector and the consequences. The third part discusses the real estate tax reform and the affordable housing system. At the last part, I discuss the prospect of China real estate economy through the case of Evergrand’s debt crisis. The real estate sector is an essential part of China’s model of economic development, so this book will interest those readers who want to know the Chinese miracle of growth.

Land, Housing and the Model of Chinese economic development

This book seeks to identify and to examine factors and mechanisms underlying the growth and development of smart cities.It is commonplace to discuss smart cities through the lens of advances in ICT. The resulting overemphasis on what is technologically possible downplays what is politically, socially and economically feasible. This book, by analysing the smart city through a variety of perspectives, offers a more comprehensive insight into and understanding of the complex and the open-ended nature of the growth and development of a smart city. A solid conceptual framework is developed and employed throughout the chapters, and a selection of case studies from Europe, Asia, and the Arab Peninsula grants the readers a hands-on perspective of the matters discussed.The chapters included in this book address a set of questions, including:<ul> <li>How do the twin-processes of digitalization and smartification unfold in the context of the smart city agenda? How do these processes relate to the concepts of smart city 1.0, 2.0., 3.0. and 4.0?</li> <li>In which ways have the spatial aspects of city functioning been influenced by the intrusion of ICT? In which ways do the same processes contribute to the attainment of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)?</li> <li>What are the implications of smartification and the emergence of smart organizations (public, private, and voluntary) for the spatial development of smart cities?</li> <li>Do ICT and its application in the city space boost the processes of revitalization and how does ICT influence the process of gentrification?</li> <li>To what extent and how does the intrusion of ICT-enhanced tools and applications in the city space impact on a city's relationship with its broader territorially defined context?</li> <li>Are the administrative borders and divisions inherent in the fabric of a city becoming less/more porous? How should urban sprawl be conceived in the context of the smart city debate?</li> </ul>This book will have a broad appeal to academics, students, and policy makers with interests in urban planning, sustainable development, cities, economics, technology, sociology, urban studies, digitalization, SDGs, wellbeing, and resilience.

People, Poverty and Shelter (1983) analyses the practical field experience of self-help as a solution to housing problems in the developing world. Focusing on practical, project-level issues , and problems encountered with policy implementation, this important collection examines the experiences of individual countries, from site and service housing in Peru to co-operative housing schemes in Tanzania. How do successful programmes take account of national, historic and cultural factors? How have self-help projects affected or even distorted housing markets to their own detriment?

Sustainable and Smart Cities

This book examines how economic resilience and sustainable development can be achieved within Southern African cities through the integration of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) into urban planning. It combats the challenges poised by rapid urbanisation, something that it exacerbated by climate change and weak infrastructure, through economic policy and practice that addresses the unique social, political, and environmental conditions found within the region. Evidence-based and empirical case studies are presented to highlight real-world successes and offer tangible solutions. Particular focus is given to land management within developing cities, infrastructure planning for resilience, climate change adaptation, institutional development, and community engagement.

This book presents a multidisciplinary framework to navigate Southern African cities through uncertainty and towards sustainable development. It will be relevant to students, researchers, and policymakers interested in development, African studies, and urban economics.
