In Boston’s Beacon Hill (82% white) and Roxbury (88% Black) districts, 2 miles apart, there is a 23 year lifespan difference. Think Ruth Wilson Gilmore: “Racism, specifically, is the state-sanctioned or extralegal production and exploitation of group-differentiated vulnerability to premature death.”

Car fuel prices keep spiking: Ukraine 2022, Iran 2026, now the EU wants to increase them with ETS2... In our new study, we find some evidence that areas vulnerable to fuel price increases tend to vote more for right-wing anti-establishment parties doi.org/10.1016/j.er... THREAD

New OA book: Fictions, Frictions & Evictions: Housing Data Stories. Available for download at: mural.maynoothuniversity.ie/id/eprint/21... The book is a collection of 208 drabbles – stories of exactly 100 words – that shine a spotlight on the data politics of housing, property and planning data

It's arrived!! I gave this book everything I had and I hope there's something in here for you. It's not officially out until 10/20, but @yalepress.bsky.social seems to be shipping orders now. yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300...

Spaces of Urban Platformisation⁣ investigates how financialisation and platform capitalism shape urban everyday life. It looks at the speculative operations around Airbnb and coworking in Berlin. The book has been out since May ’26, but it is never too late to promote it a little bit.

My book is still in print, and I recommend it not just for Bay area readers (and their visiting guests), but anyone into the geology of cities.

When exploring the city of #Porto, Portugal, it becomes evident that major parts of it/of urban life appear to be staged. At S. Bento-Station, more ppl seemingly admire the building rather than taking a train. Can one imagine that will happen to #Stuttgart31?
