    Description

    Part of the British Academy Knowledge Frontiers: International Interdisciplinary Research funding programme. Funded by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). We are one of nine research projects bringing together novel, interdisciplinary ideas from across the humanities and social sciences in collaboration with the natural, medical and engineering sciences to propose solutions to international challenges past, present and future.• Theme of ‘What is a good city?’• 2-year projects with interdisciplinary and international teams• Projects “strengthen understanding of international challenges … and engage with questions concerning the relationship between expertise, public understanding and policy delivery internationally.” (British Academy)This research project investigated the challenge of food insecurity in cities as experienced by migrant communities and explored the role of traditional foods in well-being. The global population is increasingly urbanised, with Sub-Saharan Africa experiencing the fastest rate of urban population growth. South Africa is a centre for regional migration, with Johannesburg being the destination for the largest proportion of both within-country and international migrants. The project focused on two migrant groups in Johannesburg - South African rural-to-urban migrants and international regional migrants. Urban populations are dependent on food markets for daily sustenance and nutrition, hence access to affordable, acceptable and nutritious food through markets must be prioritised by cities. By identifying the drivers of food choice in urban migrant and immigrant populations around traditional foods, barriers to consumption and engaging with those involved in knowledge in urban planning and development, this project aimed to go some way towards tackling the problem of urban food insecurity and malnutrition.

    Qualitative Data: Face to face group interviews and focus group discussions.Quantitative Data: Face to face questionnaire interview with a adult member of sample households. The survey includes 4927 cases (households) in total with 1996 in Tianjin, 1490 in Chengdu and 1441 in Hangzhou; and 360 variables (before removing sensitive variables).
    Description

    This set of qualitative and quantitative (household survey) data was collected in Tianjin, China, between January 2018 and December 2019. The project aims to examine current urbanisation processes in China from the perspective of the neighbourhood, and therefore to better understand the processes of migration, social and spatial differentiation, and their implications for emerging intra- and inter-neighbourhood inequalities and access to public services. Group interviews, focus group discussions, and household survey were conducted in three cities located in different regions of China to understand the recent urban development and transformation. The household survey aims to establish the socio-economic and demographic profiles and changes of neighbourhood population, housing tenure and choice, housing costs, living conditions, and asset and property ownership. It seeks to understand the basis of residential decision making and everyday lives of residents in different types of city neighbourhoods, especially access to and use of key public services - schools, healthcare, and employment support and training. It also covers social networks and social integration. The interviews and focus groups help to understand the organisation, management and administration of urban neighbourhoods and the provision of local public services.

    Concurrent processes of urbanisation, marketisation, industrialisation and service sector development have fundamentally transformed China's cities. This interdisciplinary project focuses on the interplay of spatial and socio-economic transformations and their consequences for people's experiences of urban neighbourhoods and access to public services. It examines how urbanisation together with in-migration and social re-stratification, are remaking urban neighbourhoods and Chinese urban dwellers' day-to-day lives. The project brings together 16 UK and Chinese specialists in urban development, planning, housing, public policy and China studies. This enables the team to draw on UK and European research on urbanisation, planning, neighbourhoods and deprivation, and public service provision to theoretically and conceptually inform understandings of the processes underway in China and policy recommendations. The project has four distinct work packages: in Work Package 1 the team will use quantitative data and spatial analytics to identify the precise characteristics of socio-spatial change in three Chinese cities. Work Package 2, which will run alongside Work Package 1, involves analysing land use planning and policies that have guided change in the three cities in the last fifteen years. These findings will then help to inform the selection of neighbourhoods with different social-economic profiles and migrant-local compositions for case study research in Work Package 3. The team will conduct in-depth analysis of residents' experiences of urbanisation, paying particular attention to social stratification and access to jobs, education, health care, and housing. Here we aim to understand how urbanites form and re-form socio-economic networks, access services and negotiate the changing physical landscape to satisfy their daily needs. These findings will in turn allow the team to work towards an integrative analysis in Work Package 4. Here the focus will be on making contributions to both theory and practice. We aim to re-conceptualise 'neighbourhood' and contribute to theory on neighbourhood transformations under urbanisation, industrialisation and de-industrialisation. Just as importantly we also aim to make recommendations that will enable Chinese policy makers and urban planners to better provide public services for all in cities.

    Description

    The dataset comprises transcripts of inventories of urban dwellers mostly from commissary court records – Registers of Testaments, Registers of Inventories and Settlements, but also several other sources, including, in the case of Dundee, a rare survival of Judicial Inventories of Minors’ Estates, records from Court of Session Sequestrations, and several chance surviving inventories from local and regional archives. Survival of this material is extremely uneven, both in respect of place and over time. Registers of inventories of settlements record house furniture and possessions on the most consistent basis, but these date only from the early nineteenth century, when clauses inserted in several acts of parliament obliged executors to lodge with the court full inventories of movable assets. Yes even then, a loophole meant that executors were not compelled to list specific items, only their total value. Registers of testaments throw up very uneven results for this kind of exercise since executors were not compelled to provide detailed breakdowns of individual items unless this was necessary to recover the estate, or where inventories were drawn up to record goods to be shared out after the death of their owner or to settle debts after bankruptcy.

    The inventories are organized by town and are a substantially uncorrected form. The material is also incomplete, insofar as not all of it was transcribed by research assistants during the project or consolidated into combined records.

    Enquiries about the project should be sent to Professor Bob Harris (bob.harris@history.ox.ac.uk). This project developed new perspectives on what was a crucial phase in modern Scottish urbanization, the second half of the eighteenth and opening decades of the nineteenth centuries. The main focus of investigation was on the country's medium-sized and smaller towns, defined as those with populations of between ca. 1,000 and 10,000. Recent influential accounts of urbanization in this period have tended to concentrate almost exclusively on the largest cities, especially Glasgow, and to be written in light of the knowledge of the onset of social crisis in Glasgow by the early 1830s. As a consequence, they present a narrative of urban change over which nineteenth-century realities and developments cast very long shadows. It was, however, in the smaller towns that the majority of the urban population lived in this period, and the failure to study them in depth has produced a distorted, or certainly very partial, portrayal of urbanization and urban society in the Georgian era. This project used the notion of 'improvement' to explore the theme of change in the smaller towns. 'Improvement' was a term or process which comprehended both physical changes to the townscape - new types of public building, the creation of new streets and removal of obstructions from old ones, the introduction of lighting, paving and new water supplies, the re-location of markets – as well as transformations in patterns of leisure and cultural life, often summarised in terms of the pursuit of politeness. Exploiting hitherto underused and unused local and national archival sources, including an unusually, in a British context, rich collection of inventories of movable estates of urban dwellers drawn up at death, material dispersed in Court of Session and local burgh court cases, other official records (burgh council minutes, petitions, burgess admissions registers), gentry papers, maps and plans, and a burgeoning print culture (town directories, newspapers), and focusing on a sample of around thirty different towns throughout Scotland, selected to ensure as wide as possible a spread in terms of location and main characteristics, and on two fast growing urban regions - Angus and Perthshire in the east and Ayrshire in the west - included in order to explore the influence of evolving regional networks on patterns of development, the project examined the nature and extent of the imprint which this agenda for change left on urban Scotland, and, equally importantly, the chronology of this transformation. By focusing on improvement, the project also examined the extent of convergence in urban society in this period on a series of Anglo-British norms or models for change, for example, in terms of the appearances of buildings or the range and nature of associational and cultural life and facilities - charities, libraries, varied clubs, concerts, theatre, assemblies - while at the same time seeking to establish what, if anything, was distinctively Scottish about urban development in this period. It was, in short, designed to help place Scottish developments within a firmly British framework, and thus to broaden the understanding of British as well as Scottish patterns of urbanization in the later Georgian period. The time-span chosen reflected the distinctive chronology of Scottish urbanization in the eighteenth century, which began later and was more rapid than south of the border, but also a hypothesis that by 1820 Scottish urbanization was entering a new phase, which was in significant ways different from the period which was under study here. The period chosen also coincided neatly with the flowering of the Scottish Enlightenment, which, in turn, created a climate of opinion which helped to shape the nature of 'improvement' in a range of spheres, not just urban life, as a concept, a process (or series of processes), and as the pre-eminent national goal.

Description

Part of the British Academy Knowledge Frontiers: International Interdisciplinary Research funding programme. Funded by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). We are one of nine research projects bringing together novel, interdisciplinary ideas from across the humanities and social sciences in collaboration with the natural, medical and engineering sciences to propose solutions to international challenges past, present and future.• Theme of ‘What is a good city?’• 2-year projects with interdisciplinary and international teams• Projects “strengthen understanding of international challenges … and engage with questions concerning the relationship between expertise, public understanding and policy delivery internationally.” (British Academy)This research project investigated the challenge of food insecurity in cities as experienced by migrant communities and explored the role of traditional foods in well-being. The global population is increasingly urbanised, with Sub-Saharan Africa experiencing the fastest rate of urban population growth. South Africa is a centre for regional migration, with Johannesburg being the destination for the largest proportion of both within-country and international migrants. The project focused on two migrant groups in Johannesburg - South African rural-to-urban migrants and international regional migrants. Urban populations are dependent on food markets for daily sustenance and nutrition, hence access to affordable, acceptable and nutritious food through markets must be prioritised by cities. By identifying the drivers of food choice in urban migrant and immigrant populations around traditional foods, barriers to consumption and engaging with those involved in knowledge in urban planning and development, this project aimed to go some way towards tackling the problem of urban food insecurity and malnutrition.
