Abstract This paper outlines the ways in which information technologies (ITs) were used Haiti relief effort, especially with respect to web‐based mapping services. Although there numerous this took place, focuses on four particular: CrisisCamp Haiti, OpenStreetMap, Ushahidi, and GeoCommons. analysis demonstrates that ITs a key means through individuals could make tangible difference work of aid agencies without actually being physically present Haiti. While not problems, effort nevertheless...
This paper grounds the critique of ‘smart city’ in its historical and geographical context. Adapting Brenner Theodore’s notion ‘actually existing neoliberalism’, we suggest a greater attention be paid to smart city’, rather than exceptional or paradigmatic cities Songdo, Masdar Living PlanIT Valley. Through closer analysis cases Louisville Philadelphia, demonstrate utility understanding material effects these policies actual around world, with particular focus on how from where have arisen,...
This article presents an overview and initial results of a geoweb analysis designed to provide the foundation for continued discussion potential impacts 'big data' practice critical human geography. While Haklay's (2012) observation that social media content is generated by small number 'outliers' correct, we explore alternative methods conceptual frameworks might allow one overcome limitations previous analyses user-generated geographic information. Though more illustrative than...
As digital social data have become increasingly ubiquitous, many turned their attention to harnessing these massive sets in order produce purportedly more accurate and complete understandings of processes. This intervention addresses the relationships between geography big intertwined futures. We focus on impacts an age discipline geographic thought methodology, as well how might provide a useful lens through which understand phenomenon its own right. Ultimately, we see significant potential...
In response to the mounting criticism of emerging 'smart cities' strategies around world, a number individuals and institutions have attempted pivot from discussions smart cities towards focus on citizens'. While citizen is most often seen as kind foil for those more stereotypically top-down, neoliberal repressive visions city that been widely critiqued within literature, this paper argues an attention 'actually existing citizen', who plays much messier ambivalent role in practice. This...
Community geography is a growing subfield that provides framework for relevant and engaged scholarship. In this paper, we define community as form of research praxis, one involves academic public scholars with the goal co-produced mutually-beneficial knowledge. draws from pragmatist model inquiry, views communities emergent through recursive process problem definition social action. We situate growth programs rooted in two overlapping but distinct traditions: disciplinary development...
Abstract In this review, we bridge recent studies on the political economy of urban and rural real property ownership, focusing US. While there are many parallels interlinkages between phenomena, note that field generally produces a different literature for each space: one largely about housing another land . We argue foregrounding their common legal status as “real property” can help develop new important analyses unravel urban/rural binary. Such an approach suggests, instance,...
Even as the meeting ‘revisited’ critical GIS, it offered neither recapitulation nor reification of a fixed field, but repetition with difference. Neither at here do we aspire to write histories which have been taken up elsewhere.1 In strictest sense, one might define GIS set tools and technologies through spatial data are encoded, analyzed, communicated. Yet any strict definition or otherwise, is necessarily delimiting, carving out ontologically privileged status that silences voices in...

As the coronavirus pandemic continues apace in United States, dizzying amount of data being generated, analyzed and consumed about virus has led to calls proclaim this first ‘data-driven pandemic’. But at same time, it seems that plethora not meant a better grasp on reality its effects. Even as we have potential digitally track trace nearly every single individual who contracted virus, no idea exactly how many people had been hospitalized, or died because it, largely due confluence factors,...
After the U.S. foreclosure crisis, institutional investors purchased thousands of homes and converted them into rental properties. Past research links these entities to a number negative outcomes, including rent increases eviction filings. This paper examines larger variety investors, private equity firms contract sellers. Using national dataset real estate transactions from 2010 mid-2017, we examine inter- intra-metropolitan geography investors. Consistent with prior research, find that...
This paper explores the variety of ways that emerging sources (big) data are being used to re-conceptualize city, and how these understandings what urban is shapes design interventions into it. Drawing on work performativity economics, this uses two vignettes ‘new science’ municipal vacant property mapping in order argue mobilization Big Data context doesn’t necessarily produce a single, greater understanding city as it actually is, but rather highly variegated series essentialized render...
Since the capitalist and colonial enclosure of land-qua-property, property parcel has served as geographic foundation land ownership. Bounded, self-contained, mutually exclusive with all surrounding parcels, this geography is taken for granted in our contemporary understandings property. As ownership land, property, housing become increasingly concentrated fewer hands recent years, however, it perhaps makes more sense to think not isolated individual, but fundamentally networked relational....

By using spatialities practice contestation as example, this argues that mappings representations important tools for understanding online...
Neighborhoods have long held a central place in the analysis and planning of urban spaces. Despite this centrality, exact definition neighborhood, as well how where to draw its boundaries, has remained unclear. Although these questions generated significant academic debate, they arguably little effect on people's everyday lives or decision-making processes. Atlanta, Georgia, represents different case, however, because city's system neighborhood units (NPUs), which shaped political processes...
The idea of concentrated poverty has long held a prominent place in understandings racial and class inequality American cities. While the spatial concentration poor is undoubtedly an important aspect this story, research suffers from number conceptual methodological shortcomings. Through case study affluence Lexington, Kentucky, paper draws on relational socio-spatial theory critical GIS order to offer constructive critique conventional research. demonstrates that while are both rise recent...

New sources of ‘big data’ are regularly described as revolutionizing the study urban life. Of particular interest is analyzing gentrification, which has proven a challenging endeavor with conventional methods. Big data may offer new approach to persistent problem defining and measuring while also allowing us rethink broader questions about theory methodology in geography. Using geotagged Twitter data, we demonstrate how changing geographies users’ tweets proxies for evolving social spatial...
