  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. 🇹🇼

  6. 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.

  21. 🏔️ 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.

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.

  29. 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

  31. 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.

  34. 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
