Meng, Meng (author), Dabrowski, M.M. (author), Stead, D. (author)Researchers and policymakers have long called for a collaborative governance process for climate adaptation and flood resilience. However, this is usually challenging when urban planning is supposed to be integrated with water management. Using the Chinese city of Guangzhou as a case study, this study explores the long-term disadvantaged...journal article 2023

Meng, M. (author), Dabrowski, M.M. (author), Stead, D. (author)The need to respond to increasing flood risk, climate change, and rapid urban development has shaped innovative policies and practices of spatial planning in many countries over recent decades. As an instrumental–technical intervention, planning is mainly used to improve the physical environment (through concepts such as regulating waterproof...book chapter 2022

Stead, D. (author)This chapter outlines a conceptual model for understanding the range of policy tools which can be used in spatial planning. The classification of tools builds on the NATO model (nodality, authority, treasue, and organisation) proposed by Christopher Hood (1986) and differentiates between two separate functions of policy tools: substantive and...book chapter 2022

Meng, M. (author), Dabrowski, M.M. (author), Xiong, L. (author), Stead, D. (author)Given the greater risk of flooding in cities due to climate change, spatial planning systems are increasingly expected to contribute to flood resilience. However, incorporating expanded adaption measures in conventional planning practices remains a major challenge due to institutional barriers. Based on the theories of historical...journal article 2022

Song, Y. (author), de Jong, W.M. (author), Stead, D. (author), Yang, W. (author), Wang, B. (author)Sustainable urban transformation has become a mantra for Chinese cities. While most studies focus on sustainable urbanization in megacities, the far larger number of medium-sized cities is understudied, although the latter face more severe urban problems. This article develops a framework for examining policy change in sustainable urban...journal article 2022

Kimpton, Anthony (author), Stead, D. (author), Corcoran, Jonathan (author)Parking is often overlooked by urban researchers even though parking consumes large proportions of a city’s physical footprint and imposes a significant impediment to more sustainable travel. Underpinning this lack of attention is suitable data and methods capable of capturing the complex dynamics of parking. Here we redress this gap by...journal article 2022

Suresh, Kavya (author), Forgaci, C. (author), Stead, D. (author)This article analyses the urban conditions of Chennai, India, and takes a critical look at its planning framework by considering four main aspects: the ecological structures, urban morphology, mobility, and livability. To do so, the article examines policy documents, urban form, public perceptions, and daily mobility patterns. Specific attention...journal article 2022

Purkarthofer, E. (author), Sielker, Franziska (author), Stead, D. (author)Both planning practice and research increasingly acknowledge the existence of new scales and governance arrangements alongside and between statutory planning systems. Examples of new scales of non-statutory planning are large-scale megaregions and macro-regions. Drawing on examples from North America and Europe (Southern California and the...journal article 2021

Stead, D. (author)While many policy tools can be used to develop spatial plans and implement their goals, there have been very few academic attempts to classify and illustrate the whole range of tools available. This article reviews the different ways in which planning tools have been conceptualized to date and highlights a wide variation in their...journal article 2021

Song, Y. (author), de Jong, W.M. (author), Stead, D. (author)China is often viewed as an emerging experimental base for transit-oriented development (TOD) practices because of its rapid urban growth and development of mass transit networks. The implementation of TOD can be heavily influenced by institutional barriers to urban growth. However, some newly emerging types of TOD practice allow planners and...journal article 2021

Kong, Weichang (author), Pojani, Dorina (author), Sipe, Neil (author), Stead, D. (author)The widening income gap in post-reform China has given rise to social inequality. Among those, transport poverty and inequality have significantly affected the daily life of low-income groups. While important, this is an under-researched topic in China. This gap in the academic literature is glaring given the country’s urbanization rates,...review 2021

Dabrowski, M.M. (author), Stead, D. (author), He, J.

This article explores the barriers to the emergence of policies adapting to the growing flood risk in two PRD cities, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, underlining...journal article 2021

Pangbourne, Kate (author), Mladenović, M. (author), Stead, D. (author), Milakis, D.

One central assumption of one prevalent MaaS conceptualization is that transport services are bundled into service packages for...journal article 2020

Mashhoodi, B. (author), Stead, D. (author), van Timmeren, A. (author)It is widely accepted that land surface temperature (LST) affects household energy consumption (HEC). There is, however, no previous study available that clarifies whether LST's impact is similar in each and every area, or if it varies from one location to another. Analysing the impact of LST on HEC of 2612 residential zones of the...journal article 2020
