  2. 1. Governing street and market vending in Kitwe, Zambia : Shifting rationalities and vendors' individual and collective agency

    Author : Lennert Jongh; Ilda Lindell; Andrew Byerley; Amin Kamete; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; urban informality; informal economy; street vendors; market vendors; vendors’ agency; urban space; collective organizing; vendors’ connections; gray spaces; government rationality; assemblage; Kitwe; Zambia; sub-Saharan Africa; Geography with Emphasis on Human Geography; geografi med kulturgeografisk inriktning;

    Abstract : This thesis studies the governing of street and market vending in the Zambian city of Kitwe. Street and market vending has often been studied in relation to neoliberal urban developments. Such studies have shown how governing practices are driven by ambitions to create “world-class cities” and to attract (international) investment. READ MORE

  4. 2. Simulation-based Evaluation of Fixed to Flexible Transit

    Author : David Leffler; Erik Jenelius; Wilco Burghout; Oded Cats; Chris Tampère; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Transportsystem; Transport Systems;

    Abstract : Emerging technologies have inspired a wide array of flexible public transit system designs characterized by varying degrees of demand-responsive routing and scheduling. The availability and synthesis of new data sources with higher degrees of spatial and temporal richness brought on by advancements in Intelligent Transport Systems allow for monitoring and responding to evolving supply-demand imbalances in real-time.

  5. 3. Uncommon Ground : Urban Form and Social Territory

    Author : Eva Minoura; Daniel Koch; Meta Berghauser Pont; Alexander Ståhle; Stephen Marshall; KTH; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; territoriality; interface; social sustainability; morphology; commons; stewardship; open space; yards; spatial analysis; Architecture; Arkitektur;

    Abstract : Implicit in any urban design is a negotiation between public and private interests. Such a negotiation is articulated and made legible in the facades, fences and even more subtle edges separating this from that. A complex variety of spatial situations are produced depending on how spaces are framed, how interfaces are materialized. READ MORE
