The fuel of discontent? Transport poverty risks and equity concerns in French urban peripheries Environ. Plan. B Urban Anal. City Sci. (IF 3.511) Pub Date : 2024-04-22 Armand Pons, Olivier Finance, Alexis Conesa
A range of accessibility indicators has been developed in the past decade to evaluate equity in transportation within urban areas. Some studies have attempted to incorporate them in transport poverty metrics, focussing on insufficient access to general services and employment. While accessibility measures coupled with statistics have been effective in assessing immediate households’ vulnerability,

Inequalities in the potential movement of social groups: A network-based indicator Environ. Plan. B Urban Anal. City Sci. (IF 3.511) Pub Date : 2024-04-18 Ana Luisa Maffini, Gustavo Maciel Gonçalves, Clarice Maraschin, Jorge Gil
Accessibility and mobility are key concerns of sustainable cities, especially in the Global South, due to the strong social inequalities. This paper contributes to the literature on mobility segregation by focusing on the potential movement of social groups in the city. We conceptualize potential movement as a network centrality, acting as an indicator of population movement when performing daily activities

Analyzing urban scaling laws in the United States over 115 years Environ. Plan. B Urban Anal. City Sci. (IF 3.511) Pub Date : 2024-04-10 Keith Burghardt, Johannes H Uhl, Kristina Lerman, Stefan Leyk
The scaling relations between city attributes and population are emergent and ubiquitous aspects of urban growth. Quantifying these relations and understanding their theoretical foundation, however, is difficult due to the challenge of defining city boundaries and a lack of historical data to study city dynamics over time and space. To address this issue, we analyze scaling between city infrastructure

Urban form and socioeconomic deprivation in Isfahan: An urban MorphoMetric approach Environ. Plan. B Urban Anal. City Sci. (IF 3.511) Pub Date : 2024-04-08 Alessandro Venerandi, Alessandra Feliciotti, Safoora Mokhtarzadeh, Maryam Taefnia, Ombretta Romice, Sergio Porta
Studies on urban deprivation date back to the 19th Century but remain important today due to rising levels of inequality and social segregation. However, while social causes of deprivation have been investigated, the role of the built environment remains neglected. Existing studies either provide broad coverage at the expense of detailed morphological descriptions or offer meticulous accounts of small-scale

Towards urban place-based resilience modeling: Mixed methods for a flood resilience assessment index Environ. Plan. B Urban Anal. City Sci. (IF 3.511) Pub Date : 2024-04-08 Brad Bottoms, Julie Arbit, Earl Lewis, Alford Young
Large-scale socioeconomic vulnerability models commonly used in flood hazard assessments grapple with data limitations and struggle to fully capture diversity in vulnerability and resilience stemming from America’s sociopolitical history. In response, we developed a prototype for a place-based Flood Resilience Assessment Index (FRAI) using tract-level geographies that illustrates human-centric frameworks

Creating inequality in access to public transit? Densification, gentrification, and displacement Environ. Plan. B Urban Anal. City Sci. (IF 3.511) Pub Date : 2024-04-01 Elena Lutz, Michael Wicki, David Kaufmann
Densification is a key concept in contemporary urban planning. Yet, there are widespread concerns about densification causing displacement and gentrification. This paper examines densification around train stations—a prevalent form of transit-oriented development (TOD) in cities with established public transit systems—in the Canton of Zurich, Switzerland. We assess the effects of densification around

The positive effect of blue luminescent pathways on urban park visitor’s affective states: A virtual reality online study measuring facial expressions and self-reports Environ. Plan. B Urban Anal. City Sci. (IF 3.511) Pub Date : 2024-03-14 Sara Lanini-Maggi, Martin Lanz, Christopher Hilton, Sara Irina Fabrikant
The colour blue often elicits feelings of calmness and contentment, for which evidence has largely been provided in daytime settings. It is unclear whether pathways illuminated in blue, for example, in urban recreational park areas at night confers the same positive impact on night time park visitors. To tackle this open empirical question, we investigated how adding blue self-luminous pavement to

A system of cities is morphologically polycentric when its cities are similarly sized and evenly spaced across its territory. In this paper, we adapt established spatial interaction models and entropy-based measures of heterogeneity of weighted networks to the problem of measuring morphological polycentricity. We study the evolution of the morphological polycentricity of the system of English and Welsh
