🌊 Water attracts, but can equally poses a threat. In a new review paper with @wvangent.bsky.social and @willemboterman.bsky.social we scrutinise the inherent tension of open water bodies in creating value in urban settings. Read here more on blue gentrification: doi.org/10.1177/2753...

Erg eenzijdig! Terugtrekken van verhuurders geeft idd minder huurwoningen. Maar die woningen gaan niet weg; ze worden koop of middenhuur. De wet is zo een rem op huisjesmelken. Is de bedoeling! Vraag is of eigenwoningbezit helpt tegen de wooncrisis (spoiler: nee). www.parool.nl/amsterdam/ni...

If we want better fashion culture in the US, we have to lower the cost of housing and commercial real estate, support independent craftspeople, build denser neighborhoods, improve walkability, and get rid of overly restrictive zoning laws. Let kook culture thrive.

A very interesting paper on how video games (focused on urban spaces) are tied to commercial logics and socio-political ideologies. Like the classic "Monopoly" board game, these games reinforce the narrative that urban life revolves around property owenership and economic power.
