Sports mega events increasingly take place in the metropolises of emerging economies. As a city-marketing tool, these are said to make host cities more visible international competition for foreign and domestic investments. Infrastructural upgrades fast tracking urban development projects, as well giving focus legitimation policy makers, supposedly further benefits hosting events. This recalls 'Festivalisation Urban Policy' hypothesis by Häußermann Siebel, which describes instrumentalisation...
The importance of critical infrastructures and strategic planning in the context extreme events, climate change urbanization has been underscored recently international policy frameworks, such as Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 (UNISDR (United Nations/International Strategy Reduction) 2015), new Paris agreement (UNFCCC Nations — Convention on Climate Change) 2015) well New Urban Agenda (UN-HABITAT 2016). This paper outlines key...
In Namibia, informal settlements are usually upgraded by a participatory process that works to provide inhabitants with land tenure security through the Flexible Land Tenure Act (FLTA), followed provision of access basic services. The pilot FLTA implementation case is upgrading Freedom Square settlement in Gobabis, which was unique woman-led process. This research analyzes both experiences women participating during as well immediate and long-term perceived impacts on their lives. empirical...

Urban experimentation is increasingly seen as a means to facilitate (social) innovation and promote sustainability transitions. However, whether how novel approaches developed in local experiments get adopted contribute changes the municipal planning practice has been insufficiently investigated theorized. This article develops conceptual framework study 'innovation potential' of urban for planning. By deciphering factors, actors, processes that influence impact or innovate practices, we...
Climate projections indicate that persistent high temperatures and related heat stress will become a common experience in the future, across Africa. It is, therefore, important to understand challenges might result from increasing extreme conditions, how humans within urban centres can adapt. In this article, we provide review considers of poor residents with adaptation strategies relation low-income, informal contexts Our analysis is carried out four focus countries: Nigeria, South Africa,...

In particular, it explores empirical evidence on informal networks of as they relate to service provision low-income settlements Khulna City. It also analyses emerging forms governance settlements. Specifically, investigates transformation process project-assisted form network poor. argues that community-based organisations Bangladesh represent Whether these are being federated depends their type or form, and...

Research on community resilience has historically focused strongly the local features of communities which in support and display resilient behaviour times stress face a range shocks. However, argument presented this paper is that both prior organisation — often within realm public space belonging to connectivity beyond locality reaches international level, need be taken into consideration as significant aspects resilience. Last but not least, across spatial levels provides new understanding...
Smart urban futures are currently being tested and promoted in Europe using innovative intelligent technologies at different spatial scales, individual sectors such as energy or transport, by specific technological innovations. However, the great transformation, though often called for widely advocated, is yet to come. This paper discusses necessity of promoting integrative approaches that go beyond technology-centered solutions with aim opening up paths towards climate neutrality: Precisely...
Residential mobility in a Sub-Saharan African (SSA) context is substantially different from the Global North. This paper provides three position statements to substantiate this claim. The first relates residential dynamics and posits that SSA they are characterized by much more transient mobile population who frequently move to, from, between within urban areas. Secondly, formal mechanisms enable access decent living conditions city largely absent as compared most of North and, consequence,...
