As many of our residents can attest to personally, Atlanta’s population growth, from about 420,000 residents in 2010 to over 500,000 residents today, has been accompanied by demographic neighborhood change. In the Neighborhood Change Report released by the City in February 2021, we explore how major public investment and design goals are related to changes in where low-income and non-low-income residents live in the city.

The inception of the New Wave coincided with a profound mutation of the French urban fabric: parts of historic city centers were razed in post-war modernisation schemes, while 'new towns' were planned outside major cities to relieve the pressure of population growth. This chapter analyses New Wave filmmakers' diverse engagement with architecture - old and new - and urban change in both fictional and documentary genres. Themes for discussion include New Wave directors' ambivalent representation of the new forms of architectural modernity that emerged in France in the 1950s and 60s; their interrogation of the living conditions on modern housing estates; and their examination of the relationship between the built environment, affect, and memory. The chapter also considers the movement's fascination with the tactile textures and surfaces of the city.

The relationship between population growth and economic growth is controversial. This article draws on historical data to chart the links between population growth, growth in per capita output, and overall economic growth over the past 200 years. Low population growth in high-income countries is likely to create social and economic problems while high population growth in low-income countries may slow their development. International migration could help to adjust these imbalances but is opposed by many. Drawing on economic analyses of inequality, it appears that lower population growth and limited migration may contribute to increased national and global economic inequality.

This study assesses the determinants of affordability in rental housing in Ogbomoso, Southwest, Nigeria. The location was borne out of the fact that the city houses Ladoke Akintola University of Technology which is a source of employment. Ogbomoso North Local Government Area, the domiciled home of the University was purposively selected for the study. Random sampling was used in selecting two hundred and thirteen households. The questionnaire and observation formed the basic instruments for data collection which were administered to respondents to collect information on socioeconomic characteristics such as; house type and condition as well as house rent. Both descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were employed in the presentation of the findings; correlation analysis was used to test the relationship between households’ income and house type. The bulk of the respondents collect N11,000 – N20,000 (35.2%) indicating they are low-income workers, while the significant house type was Brazilian rooming house (40.2%). Correlation analysis shows that there is a significant relationship between house type and households’ income (p=0.030) indicating house type is a function of household income. The study suggests among others that, the income of residents should be factored into housing policies in Nigeria in determining the housing needs of people.

Precarious employment is on the rise in Canada, increasing by nearly 50% in the last two decades. However, little is known about the mechanisms by which it can impact upon geographical mobility. Employment-related geographical mobility refers to mobility to, from and between workplaces, as well as mobility as part of work. We report on a qualitative study conducted among 27 immigrant men and women in Toronto that investigates the relationship between precarious employment and daily commutes while exploring the ways in which gender, class and migration structure this relationship. Interview data reveal that participants were largely unable to work where they lived or live where they worked. Their precarious jobs were characterized by conditions that resulted in long, complex, unfamiliar, unsafe and expensive commutes. These commuting difficulties, in turn, resulted in participants having to refuse or quit jobs, including desirable jobs, or being unable to engage in labour market strategies that could improve their employment conditions (e.g. taking courses, volunteering, etc.). Participants’ commuting difficulties were amplified by the delays, infrequency, unavailability and high cost of public transportation. These dynamics disproportionately and/or differentially impacted certain groups of workers. Precarious work has led to workers having to absorb an ever-growing share of the costs associated with their employment, underscored in our study as time, effort and money spent travelling to and from work. We discuss the forces that underlie the spatial patterning of work and workers in Toronto, namely the growing income gap and the increased polarization among neighbourhoods that has resulted in low-income immigrants increasingly moving from the centre to the edges of the city. We propose policy recommendations for public transportation, employment, housing and child care that can help alleviate some of the difficulties described.

As urban populations grow worldwide, it becomes increasingly important to critically analyse accessibility – the ease with which residents can reach key places or opportunities. The combination of ‘big data’ and advances in computational techniques such as machine learning (ML) could be a boon for urban accessibility studies, yet their application remains limited in this field. In this study, we aim to more robustly relate socio-economic factors to healthcare accessibility across a city experiencing rapid population growth, using a novel combination of clustering methods. We applied a powerful ML clustering tool, the self-organising map (SOM), in conjunction with principal component analysis (PCA), to examine how income shifts over time (2016–2022) could affect accessibility equity to healthcare for senior populations (65+ years) in the City of Surrey, Canada. We characterised accessibility levels to hospitals and walk-in clinics using door-to-door travel times, and combined this with high-resolution census data. Higher income clusters are projected to become more prevalent across the city over the study period, in some cases incurring into previously low income areas. However, low income clusters have on average much better accessibility to healthcare facilities than high income clusters, and their accessibility levels are projected to increase between 2016 and 2022. By attributing temporal differences through cross-term analysis, we show that population growth will be the biggest accessibility challenge in neighbourhoods with existing access to healthcare, whereas income change (both positive and negative) will be most challenging in poorly connected neighbourhoods. A dual accessibility problem may therefore arise in Surrey. First, large senior populations will reside in areas with access to numerous, and close-by, clinics, putting pressure on existing facilities for specialised services. Second, lower-income seniors will increasingly reside in areas poorly connected to healthcare services; since these populations are likely to be highly reliant on public transportation, accessibility equity may suffer. To our knowledge, this study is the first to apply a combination of PCA and SOM techniques in the context of urban accessibility, and it demonstrates the value of this clustering approach for drawing planning policy recommendations from large multivariate datasets.

Abstract: The city of Bandung has always been a tourist attraction with various activities every year. Bandung population growth rate in the last 5 years reached 0.89% per year and in the expansion area reached 6.79% per year. With an area of only about 17,000 ha, Bandung is now inhabited by ± 2.481.901 inhabitants. The rate of population growth above the average growth rate of the population of West Java province. No wonder the average population density is 145 people / ha. Though ideally the population density of Bandung is 50-60 people / Ha. There are 657 districts and 57,687 homes that experience environmental degradation and 67 areas identified as urban slums. The implication of the high urbanization of Bandung City in Metropolitan scale to the scale of the region emerged the problem of integration of settlements with surrounding functions. The problem of settlement of Bandung City also includes segmentation of residential objects such as Low Income Community (MBR), non MBR, immigrants, local residents, students and workers of various Sectors. Thus the problems of the settlement of Bandung City include low level of fulfillment of adequate housing needs, limited access of Low Income Community to housing resources, unfinished system of financing and housing market, decreasing the quality of housing and settlement environment and not yet integrated development of area Housing and settlements with the construction of housing and settlement infrastructure, facilities and utilities. This research method to find out how far the level of slum settlement contained in Cihampelas Bandung Settlement and recommendations that can be done for the improvement of the settlement of the kampong.

Laju pertumbuhan penduduk Kota Bandung dalam 5 tahun terakhir mencapai 0,89% per tahun dan di wilayah perluasan mencapai 6,79% per tahun. Dengan luas wilayah hanya sekitar 17.000 Ha, Bandung kini dihuni oleh ± 2.481.901 jiwa. Laju pertambahan penduduknya diatas laju pertumbuhan rata-rata penduduk provinsi Jawa Barat. Tidak heran jika tingkat kepadatan penduduk rata-rata 145 jiwa/Ha. Padahal idealnya tingkat kepadatan penduduk Kota Bandung adalah 50-60 jiwa/Ha. Terdapat 657 kawasan dan 57.687 rumah yang mengalami penurunan kualitas lingkungan dan 67 kawasan diidentifikasi sebagai kawasan kumuh perkotaan. Impilikasi dari tingginya urbanisasi Kota Bandung dalam skala Metropolitan hingga skala kawasan muncul masalah integrasi permukiman dengan fungsi sekitarnya. Permasalahan permukiman Kota Bandung juga meliputi segmentasi objek hunian seperti masyarakat berpenghasilan rendah (MBR), non MBR, pendatang, penduduk lokal, mahasiswa dan pekerja berbagai sektor. Dengan demikian masalah-masalah yang permukiman Kota Bandung meliputi rendahnya tingkat pemenuhan kebutuhan perumahan yang layak, terbatasnya akses Masyarakat Berpenghasilan Rendah (MBR) terhadap sumber daya perumahan, belum mantapnya sistem pembiayaan dan pasar perumahan, menurunnya kualitas lingkungan perumahan dan permukiman dan belum terintegrasinya pengembangan kawasan perumahan dan permukiman dengan pembangunan prasarana, sarana, dan utilitas perumahan dan permukiman. Metode penelitian ini untuk mengetahui sejauh mana tingkat kekumuhan pemukiman yang terdapat di Permukiman Cihampelas Bandung dan rekomendasi yang dapat dilakukan demi perbaikan pemukiman kampung tersebut.

En este trabajo se analizan las transformaciones que los comedores populares –un tipo de organización social que crece exponencialmente en el barrio de La Boca, área sur de la ciudad de Buenos Aires–, han experimentado en su lógica y en sus acciones como producto de la profundización de la crisis argentina entre 1999 y 2002. En este contexto el barrio aparece como un espacio natural de acción y organización; se convierte en el lugar de interacción de distintos actores y organizaciones de base donde la militancia social territorial se reviste de nuevas características. Allí los comedores se unen a un haz, por demás heterogéneo, que reúne a otras organizaciones provenientes de diferentes horizontes políticos.Más allá de los efectos más evidentes de empobrecimiento ligados a las crisis, ¿por qué y para qué se multiplican los comedores populares? En este artículo se intenta establecer su incidencia como complemento de los recursos obtenidos por las familias de bajos ingresos y determinar otras implicaciones sociopolíticas propias de su participación en el entramado barrial. Para ello se desarrolla un análisis comparativo a partir de un sondeo en organizaciones sociales barriales y entrevistas en profundidad realizadas en los años 1999 y 2002. La caracterización de ambos momentos permite analizar algunas tendencias: los cambios en los procesos de institucionalización, las actividades que desarrollan tales organizaciones y los criterios de autoorganización o prestación de servicios.Se delimita de este modo un lugar particular que permite caracterizar la emergencia de nuevas mediaciones sociopolíticas en el contexto de la crisis. La relación con el Estado –mediante el análisis de algunos programas alimentarios que el Gobierno de la Ciudad echa a andar o que intensifica a partir de la crisis, y que tienen a estos comedores como uno de sus ejecutores privilegiados– constituye una variable clave para comprender este lugar. AbstractThis paper examines the transformations that popular kitchens –a type of social organization that has increased exponentially in the La Boca neighborhood, an area in the south of Buenos Aires–, has experienced in its logic and actions as a result of the exacerbation of the Argentinean crisis between 1999 and 2000. Within this context, the neighborhood emerges as natural sphere of action and organization, becoming a forum of interaction between various actors and grass-roots organizations where social-territorial militancy assumes a variety of characteristics. There, popular kitchens are linked to a single, heterogeneous group comprising other organizations from different political horizons.Beyond the most obvious effects of impoverishment linked to the crisis, why have popular kitchens proliferated? This article seeks to establish their incidence as a complement to the resources obtained by low-income families and to determine other socio-political implications characteristic of their participation in the neighborhood network. To this end, it undertakes a comparative analysis on the basis of a survey of neighborhood social organizations and in-depth interviews carried out in 1999 and 2002. The description of both moments enables certain trends to be analyzed: the changes in the processes of institutionalization, the activities undertaken by these organizations and the characteristics of self-organization or service provision.In this way, the authors delimit a particular place which enables the emergence of new socio-political mediations to be characterized in the context of the crisis. The relationship with the state, through the analysis of certain food programs implemented by the City Government or intensified as a result of the crisis, of which popular kitchens are a vital element, constitute a key variable for understanding this place.

This paper investigates the use of discriminant analysis as an empirical technique for assisting the urban planner in predicting patterns of neighborhood change. A discriminant model estimated for ninety low-income census tracts within the city of Pittsburgh predicts 97% of upgrading income paths and 92% of downgrading paths over the period 1960 to 1970. Some form of the discriminant model would appear to be a useful guide to policymakers and a reasonable technique for limiting the areas of immediate policy concern.

Taking into account that Colombia has 1% of the established gymnasiums in the world and that Manizales and Villamaría own 45 of these establishments, it is sought to relate the reason for the high percentage of sedentary lifestyles in Colombia (60%) and determine which degree of coverage has the area of study in regard to these establishments. Through this research, we seek to evaluate the relationship between the spatial coverage of gyms in the city of Manizales and Villamaría and their relationship with sedentary lifestyles and the high dropout rates that occur in them. Through an analysis of integral accessibility, by means of the city's pedestrian network, the isochronous coverage curves of the gyms are constructed using the travel time of the pedestrian network nodes to the nearest gymnasium and the geo-statistical model Ordinary Kriging. Finally, inequality is found according to the socioeconomic stratification because low-income people have less coverage of these establishments.
