Abstract Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate ways attract and retain knowledge workers in a globally successful city or aspiring become one. Design/methodology/approach reviews the literature on work provides useful recommendations fundamentals how workers. Findings sheds light attracting retaining that industries, knowledge‐based development cities rely on. Originality/value an in‐depth discussion concepts work, what these want when they are not at work.
Background: Few studies have been conducted to investigate the impact of extreme cold events on mortality in subtropical regions.Objective: In present study we aimed effects 2008 spell and possibility displacement three cities China.Methods: Daily mortality, air pollution, weather data were collected from 2006 2009 Guangzhou, Nanxiong (no pollutants), Taishan. We used a polynomial distributed lag model (DLM) analyze relationship between mortality. To observe spell, estimated cumulative at...

However, date there have been few studies quantitatively assess vulnerability China.ObjectivesTo distribution Guangdong Province, China.MethodsA framework including dimensions exposure, sensitivity, adaptive capacity was employed. The last two were called vulnerability. An...

Methods: Taking discrete spatial choice approach, we estimate impact both environment- offender-level factors residential burglary placement Netherlands, United Kingdom, Australia. Combining cleared data from all regions single statistical model, make comparisons between environments....
It has been argued that the global city-social polarisation thesis put forward by scholars looking at North American cities cannot be easily transferred to in other parts of world. Recent research illustrated whilst there may some change levels social outside US, form, structure and causes are different. This paper extends debate Sydney, Australia. is changes occupational income partially explained economic restructuring associated with globalisation, processes alone fully explain these...

It suggests that, if is associated strong sustainable communities, then understanding drivers remains part empirical investigation. Using combination survey data...

As the 21st century progresses, most successful economies and societies will be creative ones. Worldwide, governments are producing strategies to encourage development of industries strengthen role knowledge cities nationally internationally. There is a significant policy discussion regarding clusters in strengthening local energy has been expended discussing many positive outcomes such developments. This article takes these issues as starting point considers within broader concerns uneven...
The field of collaborative health planning faces significant challenges created by the narrow focus available information, absence a framework to organise that information and lack systems make accessible guide decision-making. These have been magnified rise ‘healthy communities movement’, resulting in more frequent calls for localised, evidence-driven related This paper discusses role decision support as mechanism facilitate presents potential management underpin system describes...
Climate change impacts affecting coastal areas, such as sea-level rise and storm surge events, are expected to have significant social, economic environmental consequences worldwide. Ongoing population growth development in highly urbanised areas will exacerbate the predicted on settlements. Improving adaptation potential of vulnerable communities require greater levels planning policy integration across sectors scales. However, date, there is little evidence literature which demonstrates...
As a prolonged period of Australian prosperity ends, attention has now begun to turn the likely impacts severe economic downturn. The pain recession is unlikely be evenly distributed across population or space. Not that previous good fortune was spread society. It is, therefore, expected new layer socio-economic stress will laid over existing patterns social and spatial disparity. In this context, questions deprivation exclusion are an important ongoing concern. Deprivation operative at...
In recent years, there has been increased interest in testing the thesis that global city emergence is accompanied by increases social polarisation. Given growing importance of Asia-Pacific region economy, this paper makes a timely contribution to polarisation debate discussing transformations occurring with reference Singapore. It suggested within Singapore, rather than development polarised structure, trend towards professionalised occupation structure and middle-upper income-group.
New national and international economic social forces have reshaped geographies in general the characteristics of cities particular, resulting a range diverse spatial outcomes. These outcomes, which include greater differentiation across, within between has become feature associated with post-Fordist structures. Taking localities across Australia's metropolitan regions, this paper develops typology advantage disadvantage using model-based approach clustering data represented by parameterised...

Impacts from climate change pose a raft of challenges for societies, governments and policy-makers internationally. The anticipated changes are well documented, including rising sea levels, increased floods other extreme weather conditions. Much research policy emphasis has focused on technical economic aspects. Less debated questions about different communities' vulnerabilities, inequitable distributional impacts, social justice issues how vulnerability links to inclusion/exclusion. This...
