“…This research underlines the findings of Folmer and Risselada () that neighbourhoods with more restricted spatial planning have considerably less commercial functions than neighbourhoods where the spatial planning regime allows for mixed functions. To this knowledge, we add small but significant effects of spatial planning on firm mobility.…”

“…It is clear that pre-war neighbourhoods accommodate considerably more businesses than post-war neighbourhoods (with three-year averages of 705 and 204 firms, respectively), even after controlling for size differences in built-up areas. The 3-year average number of firms in pre-and post-war neighbourhoods is respectively 41 and 24 per ten hectares The post-and pre-war neighbourhoods we studied fitted well into the 'Desert' and 'Mix' type of neighbourhoods, respectively, as proposed by Folmer and Risselada (2012). This statement by a post-war neighbourhood expert illustrates that the low-profile neighbourhood economy in such areas is an outcome of restrictive zoning regulations:…”

Urban residential neighbourhoods in the Netherlands increasingly function as incubation zones for small-scale businesses. Despite this development, little is known about whether and how the local production environment in these neighbourhoods shapes firm mobility behaviour. This article studies how two aspects of the local production environment -the built neighbourhood environment and zoning regulations -affect firm mobility of small-scale businesses in urban residential neighbourhoods. To achieve this aim, we contrast two sets of urban neighbourhoods, pre-and post-second world war neighbourhoods with a comparable low socio-economic profile, but with distinct built environments and zoning regulations. We combine quantitative and qualitative methods to analyse available trade register data from the Dutch regional Chambers of Commerce, study neighbourhood zoning regulations, and conduct focus-group and individual interviews with neighbourhood experts and entrepreneurs. The local built environment and its regulations appear to have a small but significant effect on the firm mobility behaviour of entrepreneurs in the neighbourhoods studied. Relocation intentions are higher among entrepreneurs in post-war than in pre-war neighbourhoods, which may (in part) be attributed to less favourable local institutional settings for businesses, but actual firm mobility does not differ between these neighbourhoods.

“…Besides political programming, spatial conditions play a major role in the development of ethnic economies. Differences do not only occur between city types but also between inner‐urban and suburban ethnic commercial neighbourhoods as well as between cities with a varying scalar positioning (Glick Schiller & Çağlar ; Folmer & Risselada ; Folmer ; Folmer & Kloosterman ; Kloosterman ).…”

This paper introduces the special issue on “Urban Politics on Ethnic Entrepreneurship” based on research insights and focused discussion that bridges disciplinary discourses. It challenges ethnic entrepreneurship theory by presenting new perspectives and empirical case studies from North America and Europe. As ethnic diversity is widely regarded as a special asset for entrepreneurial cities in the competitive global city environment, there is a need to better understand how ethnic entrepreneurship is used as a resource in city branding and how it is enabled through certain policies. Starting from the historical development of ethnic entrepreneurship research, the introduction leads over to the theoretical embedding of the special issue with its relational focus on space. The contribution proceeds with linking ethnic entrepreneurship to urban politics and outlines three major fields of research that are covered in the special issue: symbolic value to urban development, placemaking and social inclusion, and urban planning.

This study describes a new assessment model framework, termed the driving forces-pressure-state-impact-policy and pattern (DPSIP) model, for environmental change efficiency in urban land development, based on urban sustainable development and the theory of economic efficiency evaluation. A spatial and measurable efficiency value is defined for environmental changes in urban land development, which provides a comprehensive evaluation index for the efficiency of urban development and its environmental impact. This type of urban interior sustainability is considered new within the context of global environmental changes. We identify nine important indicators to evaluate the relative efficiency of 233 neighborhoods in Tainan, Taiwan. The results indicate that the average environmental change efficiency is 89.44%, which shows clear spatial differentiation. The key indicators affecting the efficiency score are area, population density, location, mixed land uses, the floor area ratio, and the impervious ratio. In the future, urban design can reduce environmental impacts and enhance efficiency values.
