  2. Taiwan is famous for convenience stores on nearly every corner. But when adjusted for population, the pattern becomes more interesting.

    The east coast has a higher convenience store density than southern Taiwan, and Matsu reaches an extraordinary 132 stores per 100,000 people due to its very small population base. 🇹🇼

  4. More than 23 million people live in Taiwan, but the population is far from evenly distributed.

    In fact, about half of the population is concentrated in just a small number of districts, mainly in major urban areas.

  15. 🏔️ How high is your community?

    Using the MRDEM-2024 elevation model, I mapped the average elevation for each Calgary community.
    The result clearly shows how the city “steps down” from the western uplands toward the Bow and Elbow River valleys in the east and south.

    🔹 The highest areas — around Tuscany, Rocky Ridge, and Cougar Ridge — rise over 1,240 m above sea level.
    🔹 The lowest zones — Shepard, McKenzie Towne, and parts of the southeast — drop to about 1,000 m.

    It’s a great reminder that Calgary’s landscape still reflects its glacial past — a city built on terraces, slopes, and ancient river plains.

  16. Returning here to share an article I recently published in Urban History. I argue for a deeper, more playful engagement between urban historians and the environmental humanities if we are to address the ecological crises of our times.

  17. How to build a better city - Think
    “What we prioritize in our cities impacts how we work, live and play. In this episode, host Krys Boyd talks to three experts about creating a walkable city, how zoning codes are quietly shaping your daily life, and the ways that urban green spaces can promote biodiverse wildlife.” #UrbanPlanning #UrbanLandscape #Architecture #UrbanGeography #Zoning

  18. Untapped New York explores the forgotten islands that surround NYC - nearly thirty named islands that most people, including native New Yorkers, don't even know exist. The article examines eleven islands united by themes of abandonment and obscurity, many once inhabited by individuals or institutions, but now erased from public memory. #UrbanGeography #AbandonedPlaces #NYC #Islands #ForgottenHistory #Geography

  20. I remain a believer in state-based interventions. In many ways they're indispensable.

    However, when the state gets captured by nefarious interests, it is important to remember that non-state organizing remains real and powerful throughout history.

    Community ownership is a great example. And community land is enormously important.

  21. Wow! 🥳🎊 I received a copy of a book we wrote a chapter for with @tuomo and Hanna-Mari Pienimäki.

    It's one thing to see one's own work published on a website, but another feeling when you can hold it in your hand.

    If you're interested in #multilingualism #sociolinguistics #UrbanStudies and #LinguisticLandscapes check out this book. Relevant also for #UrbanGeography #HumanGeography #GIScience and #multimodality 🤓

    The #OpenAccess book is available here: oa.finlit.fi/site/books/e/10.2

  22. I have a chapter in this new volume: Environment, Agency, and Technology in Urban Life since c.1750: Technonatures in the Global North (eds Mikkel Thelle and Mikkel Høghøj), alongside a whole bunch of wonderful colleagues and thinkers. Happy to help out anyone who needs my work but doesn't have institutional access

  23. 2024 is set to be quite an intense work year for me, quite a few exciting things going on! These will crop up in future posts but for now I'll just that there will be history work coming on: colonial urban planning and military landscapes; fish and fishing in the history of the built environment; history of infrastructures. There'll also be interdisciplinary discussion of watery agency. As a still recovering twitter addict, I'll still be trying to learn more mindful ways of using social media without either becoming obsessed with it or dropping off completely. Let's see how all this goes!

  25. Call for Papers EXTENDED to 20 October, EAUH 2024 Cities at the Boundaries. I'm co-chairing Main Session M11 Borders Infrastructures and Places in the Modern City:

    This session explores the urban dimension of infrastructural development over the last two-hundred and fifty years, both in terms of how infrastructures have transformed cities and how urban dynamics have shaped infrastructure. This brings together histories of matter, energy and people to produce entangled histories of cities as environments.

    For full details follow this link eauh2024ostrava.osu.eu/main-se and click on session M11

    I gained eye-opening insights into how #urban #cycling #activists choose certain roles for their public and media presence. This is at the core of my research that will start early 2024 @fedibikes @mastobikes #cycling @geography #socialanthropology #urbangeography @ethnography

  27. Book delivery!

    Been wanting to read this one for a while too. So many books to catch up on now that that pesky dissertation is behind me.

  29. I just submitted my abstract for the #PhilosophyOfTheCity interdisciplinary conference in Brooklyn this fall.

    Looking forward to reconnecting with fellow philosophers of the city. My last in-person conference with them was Detroit in 2019.

    Check out the call for papers. Deadline is May 1.

  33. I’d never spent so much of my spare time on exploring a social media platform until Mastodon. It’s absolutely worthwhile to take some time to get into this real community-like platform and connect to different communities.
    P.S. Is there a circle of academics who self-define as #urbanists? We really need a group like this #cities #urbanism #digitalisation #smartcities #urbaninnovation #urbanfutures #urbanstudies #urbangeography #digitalsociety #citizens #citizenscience

  34. #followfriday with my sole #ff share for this week. I am so happy to see my great colleague @tabeabork joining Mastodon today. Follow her for toots on #digitalGeographies #urbangeography and much more interesting stuff @geography

  35. If you're in #Edinburgh on the 16th November, I'm moderating what should be a really interesting session bringing together Begüm Özden Firat talking about Gezi Park in #Istanbul and Antonis Vradis on #Exarcheia Square in #Athens. #urbangeography
