Tayeb S: Cities Are Choices

Cities Are Choices

The real estate industry is undergoing unprecedented transformations driven by emerging technologies and sustainability practices. This textbook explores the intersection of PropTech, blockchain and sustainability, shaping the future landscape of real estate investment and finance.

Sustainable Futures

PropTech Innovations in Real Estate Investment and Finance

This open access book explores how macroeconomic policy, specifically monetary policy, interacts with interregional inequality. Using the case of monetary policy in Indonesia, a country with high interregional inequality, it examines how national-level policies can inadvertently deepen disparities between regions, and in turn contribute to the limited effectiveness of the policies. Undermining the local conditions, institutions, and spatial dynamics that could strengthen the centripetal forces plays a key role in such a negative feedback loop.
Although monetary policy is designed to be neutral, the book argues that it can have uneven regional impacts. By amplifying the divide between already developed areas and those still catching up, such policies may undermine their own effectiveness. This self-reinforcing cycle is significantly shaped by the behavior of local banks' liquidity preferences, risk perceptions, and lending strategies, which can either connect or disconnect national policy goals from inclusive regional development.
Drawing on macroregional data, quantitative models, field surveys, and interviews with local officials and bankers, the book offers compelling insights into one of the central challenges of economic policymaking in a diverse and decentralized nation. It also presents a powerful critique of the "spatial blindness" often embedded in economic governance.

Towards a More Socio-economically Informed Development Discourse

Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking in the Horn of Africa

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.

China Insights

This book posits that, beyond China’s reform and opening-up policy and various factors of timing, geographical advantages, and popular will, the institutional innovations introduced in Shenzhen—including allowing inputs to receive reasonable returns, leveraging the market's role, cultivating modern industrial chain (clusters), promoting high-quality economic development, emphasizing contractual obligations and the rule&nbsp;of law, and establishing a limited yet effective governance framework—constitute the unique drivers of Shenzhen's modernization. The city's new designation as a Pilot Demonstration Zone has charted a course for its future development by defining new goals and consolidating its institutional advantages.

15-Minute Cities

A panoramic account of the urban politics and deep social divisions that gave rise to Uber The first city to fight back against Uber, Washington, D.C., was also the first city where such resistance was defeated. It was here that the company created a playbook for how to deal with intransigent regulators and to win in the realm of local politics. The city already serves as the nation’s capital. Now, D.C. is also the blueprint for how Uber conquered cities around the world—and explains why so many embraced the company with open arms. Drawing on interviews with gig workers, policymakers, Uber lobbyists, and community organizers, Disrupting D.C. demonstrates that many share the blame for lowering the nation’s hopes and dreams for what its cities could be. In a sea of broken transit, underemployment, and racial polarization, Uber offered a lifeline. But at what cost? This is not the story of one company and one city. Instead, Disrupting D.C. offers a 360-degree view of an urban America in crisis. Uber arrived promising a new future for workers, residents, policymakers, and others. Ultimately, Uber’s success and growth was never a sign of urban strength or innovation but a sign of urban weakness and low expectations about what city politics can achieve. Understanding why Uber rose reveals just how far the rest of us have fallen.

Sustainable Development Goals Series

This book examines the long-term dynamics of urban labour market behaviour of women and men over three and a half decades, spanning the period from 1987-88 to 2023-24. It provides a detailed understanding of the topic by incorporating data and information that cover both the supply and demand sides of the labour market. The book distinguishes itself from similar studies by adopting a life-cycle approach for women so as to enable a holistic coverage of various dimensions that hamper or facilitate their economic participation at every stage of life. It examines the gender differences in labour market behaviour and outcomes of young graduate women, married working age women, as well as elderly women. It also undertakes a time-use analysis for understanding the impact of education on gender differences in the distribution of unpaid domestic responsibilities among adolescent girls and boys. Likewise, among the married women fully engaged in household work, the book explores the potential for their integration into the labour force if employment opportunities are accessible at their household. Combining quantitative analysis of secondary datasets with qualitative analysis of primary survey interviews, this study provides an evidence-based depiction of gendered labour market realities and the policy approach to address them. The qualitative approach uses narrative-building to capture the lived experiences of women and men employed in the public transport and sanitation sectors. This book will serve as an important resource for understanding of female labour market by researchers, scholars, policymakers, practitioners, NGOs, and students of gender and labour studies.

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 takes the Shenzhen Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone as a case study to research on the coordinated regional economic development. It provides a detailed introduction to the origin of the Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone, the development of enclave economy with Chinese characteristics, the differences between Chinese and foreign enclaves, and the theoretical evolution of enclave development. The book offers an in-depth analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the Shenshan Cooperation Zone’s transition from "tripartite co-management" to "bilateral cooperation" and finally to "unilateral comprehensive leadership". It elaborates on why the development of the Shenshan Cooperation Zone adopts a combined economic model that integrates the cultivation of endogenous innovation drivers with the establishment of regionally induced growth poles, industrial gradient transfer, and complementary factor endowments. The book also scientifically demonstrates the implementation path of "planning leading, infrastructure first, platform-driven development, and industry-city integration". As a monograph that combines theoretical depth and practical insight, it systematically studies the development of enclave economy and offers significant reference value for the advancement of enclave economies.

Regions and Cities

This book is a memorial to Professor Paul Benneworth who died in 2020 at the age of 46, but also a review of the current state of the art in work on universities and place, identifying important new directions for research. The book showcases Paul's contribution, authored by those who worked with him, engaging with key ideas that Paul pursued and on which he was actively working.The chapters are grouped around three main themes. The first theme is focused on universities, cities and regions and examines the ways in which universities are embedded in place, with a particular emphasis on the governance of university-place relations and an international set of examples and case studies. This includes cross-institutional partnerships and also the physical consequences of university locations. A second theme is around local and global networks including the knowledge exchange process involving the university and business. These networks include social dynamics and social enterprise, as well as the role of academic diaspora in international knowledge exchange. The third theme then looks at regions and leadership and the strategic role of different stakeholders in place development. The book also includes a summary of Paul's life and work and a list of his writings.
