“…The need for mega infrastructure has increased over the last few decades due to the dramatically increasing population living in big cities. Simultaneously, it may be hard for available infrastructure funds to meet the public needs with the growing demand (Azagew and Worku, 2020; Rodríguez-Pose and Griffiths, 2021). Building new infrastructures and maintaining existing others face insufficient public funds globally (Yun et al, 2009).…”

A socio-economic multi-objective optimization approach toward enhancing public–private partnerships’ concession agreements in infrastructure development

The participants of the public–private partnership projects have different parts in developing the concessions, hence different perspectives and goals. Besides, the public–private partnership concession agreement has many parameters and components, and a change in one component will have a considerable impact on other components. Thus, determining the optimal value for different concession parameters by providing a series of feasible contribution options was investigated in this paper using two different multi-objective optimization models: genetic algorithm and Thompson sampling. Two case studies (the US I-495 and the I-4 Ultimate) were used to construct and validate the results of the model. The model results showed that the socio-economic sustainability performance increases as the private equity increases and the public equity decreases. The results also showed that the socio-economic sustainability performance increases as the concession price (user-fee) decreases. Having these contribution options could facilitate the decision-making process for both the public and private parties. The genetic algorithm model obtained faster optimization results when compared to the Thompson sampling model; however, the Thompson sampling obtained better results. Moreover, the use of the model could improve the socio-economic sustainability performance of the public–private partnership projects.

“…An urban agenda that places strong emphasis on children’s well‐being in coastal cities provides an opportunity to open a Southeast Asian urban dialogue initiatives toward urban development and sustainability that benefit children. As Rodríguez‐Pose and Griffiths (2021) argue, there are discrepancies between developed and developing country patterns of urbanization, which are informed by their natural topographies and demographical make up. Thus, the question that confronts Southeast Asian coastal cities is how to balance marine and urban interests in a manner that simultaneously protects the environmental capital for future generations and facilitates livelihood and employment opportunities at present.…”

This paper examines children’s context in Southeast Asian coastal cities. Through a document analysis, this paper examines City Context Reports from five Southeast Asian coastal cities (Surabaya, Iskandar, Melaka, Cebu and Ho Chi Minh) and identifies opportunities and challenges to urban child friendliness. The results indicate a mixture of achievements and challenges in terms of child‐friendly coastal cities. The identified challenges and potentials in Southeast Asian cities shape an urban fabric characterized by the urban sprawl combined with the geographic vulnerabilities of coastal cities. While the challenges of urbanization in Southeast Asian coastal cities are massive, so are the opportunities. As a way forward, this work proposes a framework for child‐friendly coastal cities in Southeast Asia, with emphasis on: (1) child‐oriented urban policy design, (2) urban policy assessment through participatory research with children, and (3) educational programs for coastal resilience. This work hopes for further dialogues toward an inclusive urban future in the Global South.

“…Trajectories of long‐term socioeconomic progress (upward, increasing socioeconomic diversity, and rejuvenating) have been widespread across Britain, with high average intra‐regional and inter‐urban variability, but prevailing in suburban areas. This may be a result of recent trends of population and income growth in areas outside large metropoles (Rodríguez‐Pose & Griffiths, 2021). Small suburban areas could provide the economic dynamism by accommodating new digital industries, like gaming and software development (Gibson & Kong, 2005) and hence have the potential to promote upward socioeconomic mobility.…”

Inequality within nations remains a significant challenge for socioeconomic development despite significant progress over the last 200 years (Lakner & Milanovic, 2016). Inequality harms poverty reduction (Birdsall & Londono, 1997;McKnight et al., 2017) and diminishes people's sense of fulfilment and self-worth (Friedli, 2009). It can breed crime (Kelly, 2000), mental health illnesses (Friedli, 2009), and environmental degradation (Boyce, 1994). Inequality has a strong spatial perspective (McCann, 2016) and is linked to numerous factors expanding from income to socioeconomic, health, and ethnicity (Lloyd, 2015).Geodemographic classification is a method that helps condense and understand large complex datasets (Voas & Williamson, 2001). Geodemographics cluster areal units into homogeneous groups that are similar to one another across their social, economic, and demographic conditions (Singleton & Longley, 2009). By employing geodemographic classification on spatio-temporal data, changes in socioeconomic and population structures can be studied (e.g., McLachlan & Norman, 2021). This approach effectively captures aggregate changes in local population structures. However, by comparing changes between two points in time, such an approach neglects the broader context within which these changes
