It fundamentally takes us back a couple of years to a series of convention centres, hotel conference rooms and a small restaurant in downtown Denver, Colorado – the host city of the 2023 Association of American Geographers (AAG) Annual Meeting.

Biosensor data, participatory methods, and urban design

The objective of this paper is to explore the application of biosensing techniques in participatory approaches to urban design, namely community mapping and scenario-elicitation. Wearable biosensors, such as electrodermal activity sensors or electroencephalograms, are increasingly used in the study of the sensory, emotional and cognitive experience of urban space (Osborne, 2022). This is happening in tandem wit...

La ciudad y las marcas: la cultura del consumo en el espacio urbano contemporáneo

En la sociedad urbana contemporánea vivimos literalmente inmersos en las profundidades del mundo de las marcas (Solomon, 2003). La visibilidad que ganan en el entorno urbano es tan significativa que cualquier reflexión sobre la ciudad, en particular, sobre los grandes núcleos urbanos, desde la perspectiva del consumo, se ve comprometida si no llevamos las marcas al centro del debate. Las marcas, las insígnias, ...

Science mapping the academic knowledge on business improvement districts

Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) are a contemporary urban revitalization policy that has been set in motion through international policymaking circuits. They have been presented as a panacea to the economic and social challenges facing many cities and traditional shopping districts. However, a comprehensive overview of the academic literature on this form of local governance remains to be conducted. Drawin...

This paper examines the evolution of placemaking activities that former UK governmentfunded pilot BIDs have delivered over the last 15 years. Drawing on an exploratory sequential research design that combines a...
