THE TERRITORIALIZATION OF ANGOLA'S REAL ESTATE FRONTIER: How Private‐led Housing Developments are Reshaping the Outskirts of Luanda

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Africa is recognized as the final frontier for urbanization and capitalism. Following a long wave of massive loans to promote state‐led developments, small private foreign and local developers are transforming the urban landscape on the outskirts of Luanda, forging partnerships with Angola's national and local governments and developing an ...

PARTY‐STATE URBANISM: Coevolution of Local State Capacity and Strategic Alliances in Shenzhen

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract What is distinct about Chinese urban governance? Classic theories predict that when the central state retreats from resource allocation, capacity‐strained local governments must form alliances with non‐state actors, thereby diluting state power. In China, however, state power remains dominant despite decentralization.

Seismic performance of cable-stayed bridges under large earthquake ground motions considering the loss of stay cables

open access: yesCase Studies in Construction Materials
Stay cables in cable-stayed bridges are essential components to transmit deck loadings. However, cable loss events have been occasionally observed both in service life and under extreme situations like earthquakes.
