In pre-pandemic times, Spain was one of the European countries where the economic crisis hit the real estate market hardest, leading to rising mortgage foreclosures and eviction of tenants, as highlighted by many scholars on the financial geography of housing. Its matched social effects reveal the outstanding role of gender, foreign status, and income levels, starting from the hypothesis that the intersection among these categories shows the dimension of inequality in the neoliberal configuration of cities. The aim of this article is to provide this evidence through the study case of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, using a GIS to implement statistical correlations of these categories on a microurban scale. The created database rests on information contained in judicial archives (women’s foreclosures and evictions) and on ethnicity and income level statistical information. This allows us to go deeper into the factors of exposure to vulnerability, in accordance with an established academic tradition regarding gender, housing and the city.

AbstractAs toponymic means of inscribing urban space, street names have been addressed mainly by human geographers, who have articulated the field of critical place-name studies. In this paper, I continue the endeavor started in the previous issue published in Social Change Review of reading street names through sociological lenses. Whereas in the first part of this two-part contribution the analysis was made from functionalist and conflictualist perspectives, this second and final part employs social constructionism and the utilitarian theoretical tradition in making sociological sense of street nomenclatures. First, conceiving of street names as forming discursively constructed linguistic landscapes, the paper shows how urban namescapes – the “city-text” – are written, erased, and rewritten to reflect the shifting political powers. Second, the paper examines the neoliberal processes of place branding and toponymic commodification by which street names are turned into sought-after urban commodities with transactional value on the real estate market. The paper concludes by inviting sociologists to join the conversation on street names, which should become an important topic of sociological reflection.

O processo de construção e aprovação do novo conjunto de leis relativas ao zoneamento de uso e ocupação do solo em Curitiba oferece elementos para uma análise dos conflitos de interesses que regem a constituição de um arcabouço legal e da luta simbólica que traduz na elaboração de um discurso que não se realiza nos termos da lei, mas que se cristaliza no imaginário dos citadinos. Tentando analisar esse processo e identificar dispositivos passíveis de serem generalizados como eficazes no controle de ocupação e uso do solo de outras cidades-modelo, na busca do protagonismo nos movimentos de inserção na reestruturação econômica internacional, este texto examina e sumariza observações quanto: ao apoio da lei no reforço à modelização urbana de Curitiba; à ausência de mecanismos e instrumentos que contemplem suas relações com o espaço metropolitano; aos efeitos socioambientais decorrentes da aplicação da lei; às questões referentes à constitucionalidade e à observação de princípios democráticos; às disposições referentes à ampliação da atratividade ao capital internacional; a sua abertura à participação da sociedade civil e à legitimidade de seus resultados. Urban land use regulation: discussion about the Curitiba’s case Abstract In 1999, a new land use law was approved in Curitiba. Its construction and approval process offers elements to discuss the meaning of a legal frame in the reinforcement of a hegemonic power around a metropolitan space, and the creation of conditions to attract the international capital, mainly from the real estate market. Trying to analyse this process, identifying elements possible to be generalised in the land use regulation of protagonists’ cities, this study examines and summarises observations on the topics: law for highlight the city-model; the lack of metropolitan instruments; conflicts between Instruments and particular interests; urban and social effects; constitutionality and observation of democratic principles. Finalising, the study intends to discuss that the dispositions included in the law and its illegitimate participation procedures have resulted in a refusing among society segments.

This article offers a multiscalar, sociohistoric account of the spatial struggles of Toronto artists from 1970 until the present to secure affordable living and work space downtown that foregrounds the contemporary role of the cultural philanthropist–developer. It argues that the cultural capital of artists to identify and embody authenticity facilitated temporary spatial claims that supported the development of a local art scene on Queen Street West, but one that became dependent upon, yet vulnerable to, the sociospatial unevenness of cultural philanthropy. Benevolence in arts and culture is not distributed evenly across time and space. Instead, as the case study of the 401 Richmond arts hub reveals, benevolence in its alliances with the real estate market and property development is concentrated in individualized commitments to particular neighborhoods, buildings, and local relationships, which temporally and operationally constrains its policy–transforming potential.

PurposeThe paper aims to investigate the relationship between different investor attention proxies for different types of funds (retail vs institutional ones) looking at a sample of real estate funds.Design/methodology/approachThe authors collect data about searching frequency on Google and all the news published in Italian specialized newspapers for a set of real estate funds. Following the approach proposed by Da, Engelberg and Gao, the authors construct a set of attention proxies and they compare the ranking with some summary statistics and evaluate the causality relationship among them using a Granger causality test.FindingsResults demonstrate that online search frequency is relevant for both institutional and retail funds and normally internet data are able to anticipate the news that will be published in the newspapers.Research limitations/implicationsThe analysis proposed is focused only on a small real estate market (Italy) where funds are specialized for the type of investor. A wider database can allow excluding that results achieved are biased by the specific features of the market analysed.Practical implicationsThe role of internet proxies attention measures also for institutional investors demonstrate that the managing companies offering financial instruments reserved to institutional investors should consider both channels of information – newspapers and the internet – to measure any positive or negative sign of investor attention to their products.Originality/valueThe article represents the first analysis of investor attention proxies on the real estate market and the first comparison of investor attention proxies for retail and institutional investors.

Abstract The market for land for single-family housing is one of the most important segments of the real estate market. Over the last several years, we have witnessed the development of this market in the suburban areas of large agglomerations. This is connected with the intensified migration of people from the centers of big cities, and with the development of housing in suburban zones. The aim of this paper is to present the structure of the territorial origin of buyers purchasing plots designated for single-family housing in Poznań and its suburbs (with division into buyers derived from the city of Poznań, from the Poznań poviat (district), the Wielkopolska voivodeship (province), the rest of the country, and from abroad). The analysis covers the years 1995-2010.

Role Of Women

This article examines the role of women in manufacturing and the urban economy of Istanbul during the premodern period. It shows that Ottoman women engaged in a variety of economic activities, and invested in the real estate market. They participated in the textile industry of Bursa, Ankara, and Istanbul as weavers, dyers, and embroiderers. Their labor, however, remained marginal to artisanal production through the guilds. Very few women were accepted into the guilds. They were hired by the putting-out merchants to produce secretly at home. Their input to manufacturing increased in the second half of the nineteenth century when the guilds were losing their monopoly over production.
