The City

This article revisits debates on the contribution of the social economy to urban economic development, specifically focusing on the scale of the city region. It presents a novel tripartite definition – empirical, essentialist, holistic – as a useful frame for future research into urban social economies. Findings from an in-depth case study of the scale, scope and value of the Liverpool City Region’s social economy are presented through this framing. This research suggests that the social economy has the potential to build a workable alternative to neoliberal economic development if given sufficient tailored institutional support and if seen as a holistic integrated city-regional system, with anchor institutions and community anchor organisations playing key roles.

This paper proposed an innovative strategy for planning multimodal, integrated, intelligent, and sustainable mobility by applying 3-tiers mobility stations system combine with car sharing and bike sharing, which aims to promoting the accessibility with available transportation systems and enhance the intramodality and utilization of non-motorized transportation modes. Through the case study of the Fürstenfeldbruck city region in Germany, the 3-tiers mobility stations system concept and its planning criteria and indicators were proposed. And mobility service offerings and location selection of stations were analyzed by considering demand and coverage. Subsequently, evaluation methods based on the pre-defined indicators were implemented to the case study. The planning process is target-oriented and based on relevant structural data analysis.
