During the last three decades, countries of developed world have been engulfed by 'second demographic transition', which involves new family relations, less and later marriage, declining fertility rates, population ageing, postponement child-bearing smaller households, among other trends. It is being increasingly argued that such dynamics are having a powerful transformative effect on inner city, diversifying redensifying its social landscapes, creating 'splintered' urban form. Based...
Abstract European inner city areas are increasingly regaining their residential attractiveness after years of decline. Although the demographic dimensions such shifts gradually being acknowledged by urban scholars, they still remain under‐researched, especially with regard to role household‐driven processes in stabilisation inner‐city neighbourhoods and reshaping perceptions, wants needs. Given this background, our paper looks at underlying dynamics reurbanisation different cities....
In this paper, we analyse the appropriateness of monitoring approaches for observation inner-city reurbanization processes. Reurbanization is conceptualized here as a process long-term stabilization areas by both readiness present residents to stay and an influx new residents. It has been recently re-set on top European urban research agenda since non-growth proved be major path future development many cities. Recent evidence across Europe underscores fact that depends much local settings...
Although much knowledge and debates about residential satisfaction exist, there is little evidence regarding its fluid nature influencing factors. Therefore, we suggest an analytical framework to investigate the dynamics of by using data from a unique long-term study. Many previous studies have generally examined cross-sectional at one point in time. But observations are indispensable for discovering changes and/or continuity over For our analysis utilized study that was carried out four...
Since about the 1980s, shrinkage processes have been observed mainly in developed countries. Although population decreases has main focus, other phenomena—such as reduction of jobs, restructuring industrial and urban regions, scarcity public commodities natural resources—also deserve attention. Shrinkage is by no means becoming dominant mode development though some regional exceptions do exist. In this sense, it comparable to modern growth that not run concordantly. Modern are concentrated...
Upgrading existing social housing (SH) requires user-centred participatory processes to promote values. Comparative case studies in Brazil, Germany, the Netherlands, and UK are presented. Living Labs (LLs) were conducted for delivery of user values an informed decision-making process. Tools LL activities tested engage stakeholders upgrading process, support co-creation solutions address societal challenges. The main research aims facilitate SH focusing on value users, achieving end-user...

After many decades of inner-city decline and massive suburbanization during the post-socialist transition 1990s, in eastern Germany there has been recently evolving a new, specific phenomenon: simultaneousness shrinkage, fading rising reurbanization. In this paper, focus is on processes Starting from critical debate conceptual approaches, paper aims to scrutinize whether reurbanization can serve as an appropriate explanatory framework for currently changing patterns spatial development...
Emerging megacities in the global south face unprecedented transformation dynamics, manifested rapid demographic, economic, and physical growth. Anticipating associated sustainability resilience challenges requires an understanding of future trajectories. Global change models provide consistent high-level urbanization scenarios. City-scale urban growth accurately simulate complex Modeling approaches linking local scale, however, are underdeveloped. This work introduces a novel approach to...
For decades, public and scholarly debates on large, post-war housing estates in western Europe have been concerned with social decline. After 1989/1990, the point time of fundamental societal change eastern Europe, this concern was transferred to post-socialist cities. However, empirical evidence for a general negative trend has not emerged. Recent publications confirm persistence mix highlight differentiated trajectories estates. This paper aims contribute an approach how conceptually make...
Systems models of the Food–Water–Energy (FWE) nexus face a conceptual difficulty: systematic integration local stakeholder perspectives into coherent framework for analysis. We present novel procedure to co-produce and systematize real-life complexity knowledge forge it clear-cut set challenges. These are clustered Pressure–State–Response (PSIR) framework, which ultimately guides development systems model closely attuned needs stakeholders. apply this approach case emerging megacity Pune...
Abstract In summarizing academic research on large-scale housing estates in Eastern Germany, totally contrary opinions the future prospects of these neighborhoods can be found. While some describe quarters as still integrated with a social status that is much higher than their western counterparts, others see them places segregation, problems and decay. Using data from long-term survey (1979–2004) Leipzig-Grünau, we argue both perspectives are misleading. We give an insight into main trends...
