The dynamics of household structure in the event of the father's death: Québec City in the 18th century

This article looks at the survival strategies used in traditional societies by households that were greatly disrupted by the death of the father, usually their principal provider. Research is based on data from two parish censuses (1716 and 1744) of the city of Québec that describe the composition of urban households. Data from the Registre de la Population du Québec Ancien (RPQA), the register of the Québec population before 1800, were also used to complement the information required. Depending on the survival of a mother after the father's death, it appears that households could maintain their nuclear structure, except for those who were dispersed among other households.     

How can “Katowice as European City of Science” change Silesia region: Recognising perspectives of private companies

The study analyses, the perception of the European City of Science (ECS) initiative planned event in Katowice in the context of the city and region's development in the eyes of private companies. It has been argued that this honour may change the city's prestige and become the source of the city and the region's development, not only through building the city's recognisable brand but also its social capital. Using focus research as a method enables not only to collect empirical data but can also be treated as a form of public participation. The study results contribute to the growing body of literature on public engagement and co-creation as well as place branding. The study's findings show the companies' expectations concerning the role of universities and their participation in the region's development. They were the foundation for preparing a set of suggestions for local governments to successfully implement the ECS initiative. This paper is the first to examine the process of preparing a city to become an ECS, as demonstrated through the case study of Katowice.     

哈尔滨都市圈与“长、沈、大”都市群产业合作问题研究

在区域经济一体化和振兴东北老工业基地的背景下,哈尔滨都市圈与“长、沈、大”都市群加强产业合作具有客观必然性。在产业合作过程中,应坚持科学规划、合理分工;政府引导、利益驱动;规范管理、制度保证三项原则,并突出装备制造、北药、旅游和石化四大产业合作重点。针对哈尔滨都市圈与“长、沈、大”都市群产业合作所面临的一些观念性、体制性和制度性的制约因素,应采取树立竞合理念、加强行政区际基础设施建设、建立产业合作动力机制、强化政府宏观调控职能、协调东北四市发展规划以及建立富有权威的产业合作协调机构等措施,切实推进哈尔滨都市圈与“长、沈、大”都市群的产业合作。     

Constructing and contesting City of London power: NGOs and the emergence of noisier financial politics

Existing literature on the City of London has tended to focus on its ‘structural power’, while neglecting political and narrative agency. This paper acts as a corrective by presenting evidence to show that since the financial crash of 2008 the political terrain the City operates on has become more contested, crowded and noisier. The contribution develops a middle course between a positive assessment of the role of civil society in relation to global finance, and a more pessimistic reading. We demonstrate how macro-narratives and public story-telling both construct and contest City and financial sector power. In a new pattern since the financial crash, NGOs have moved from campaigns of limited duration and narrow focus, to a more sustained presence on macro-structural issues. Adopting a supply–demand framework for assessing governance and regulatory change, we look at the emergence of TheCityUK as a new advocacy arm and the strategies of three of the more prominent and focused NGOs that have mobilized in the aftermath of the crash: the Tax Justice Network’s (TJN) use of the ‘finance curse’; Positive Money on private endogenous money creation; and Finance Watch counterweight strategies at the level of the European Union. We suggest these mobilizations highlight the need for a more concerted and orchestrated construction of a global institutional civil society infrastructure in finance (a global financial public sphere) to achieve greater access, resources, scrutiny and oversight for a range of specialist expert NGOs.     

太原市文化产业发展研究

发展文化产业是提高太原市综合实力的有效途径,是提高人民生活品质的重要依托,是实现太原市科学发展的必然选择。实践中,由于受诸多因素的制约,如人们观念陈旧、产业意识淡薄、多元投资体制尚未建立,加之人才结构不舍理等,使文化产业在经济总量、运作机制、资源配置等方面仍处于初级水平。要加快发展太原市独具特色的文化产业,必须创新文化发展理念,充分发挥政府服务职能,实施重大文化产业项目带动战略,打响文化品牌,把更多的文化产品推向国际市场。     

城市综合承载力的评估框架与提升策略——来自新加坡的启示

城市化伴随着人口及资源的高度集聚,必然引发城市承载的边界问题。如何解决当下的大城市发展困境是对可持续发展提出的重大挑战。作为自然资源匮乏的岛国,新加坡在提高城市承载能力上取得了瞩目成果。本文基于承载力和韧性城市两大理论,构建了城市综合承载力的分析框架。新加坡在资源高效利用、基础设施配置体现人文关怀、产业转型与空间布局并重、围绕"组屋"提供公共服务、建设智慧政府等方面的实践做法值得学习借鉴。未来我国城市建设应该精准规划与减量规划并行,坚持以人为本,重视"里子"工程,融入城市更新,建设智慧城市,提高城市政府的治理能力。     

城市规划公众参与的理论与实践

我国已引入城市规划公众参与逾十年,已到应当也可以反思之时.在此时期,其制度设计建构、运行情况均备受关注,但在理论和实践之间存在较大落差.因此通过理论基础的寻找、评判,确定适当的政府与公众、国家与社会关系定位十分重要.随着公众参与的不断深入,应妥当设置城市规划公众参与制度建构,改进参与所赖以运行的沟通中介机制,在制度内进行自主、理性的公众参与.
