Planning for sustainability in non-democratic polities : the case of Masdar city
  • , however, that on-the-ground implementation has so far failed to live up to the city’s initial ambitions. The analysis suggests that the social contract between Abu Dhabi’s rulers and the local population constitutes a challenging context for the pursuit

Missing the point? Urban planning and the normalisation of ‘pathological’ spaces in southern Africa
  • argues that the authorities’ obsession with ‘normalising’ urban spaces they have designated as ‘pathologies’ is misplaced because it defies the reality on the ground. He analyses the effectiveness of ‘corrective’ measures that exclude and marginalise

Viva la Raza! a park, a riot and neighbourhood change in North Denver
  • Drawing from ethnographic research in the Latino barrios of North Denver, this article deconstructs the history of one small yet vital public space—la Raza Park. During the 1970s, this place, its pool and the many events it grounded, built community

The use of dynamic global vegetation models for simulating hydrology and the potential integration of satellite observations
  • , could be used to improve the quality of model evaluations and augment ground-based observations, particularly where spatial and temporal gaps are present. This would aid the reduction of model uncertainties and thus potentially enhance our understanding

Internal structure and permafrost characteristics of the rock glaciers of Southern Carpathians (Romania) assessed by geoelectrical soundings and thermal monitoring
  • the presence of sediments cemented by interstitial ice and ice lenses. Based on the moderate resistivity values, the ice content is probably low to medium in the upper portion of these rock glaciers. At 2 sites (Pietroasa and Văiuga rock glaciers), ground
