Policy Spandrels: How Design Decisions Can Open Up Spaces for Unintended Policy Change

European Policy Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article introduces the concept of policy spandrels to make sense of public policies producing second‐order effects that are unintentional from the perspective of policy design and yet are fraught with consequences. By analogy with architectural spandrels—leftover spaces that can be used for unforeseen purposes—policy change can be enabled

Modeling the Probability of Tsunami Fire Ignition Based on Data From the 2011 Tohoku and 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquakes, With Recommendations to Reduce Emerging Fire Risk in Tsunami Vertical Evacuation Structures

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent tsunamigenic earthquakes in Japan have highlighted the emerging fire hazard triggered by tsunami inundation and its impact on tsunami vertical evacuation (TVE) structures. This new type of fire following earthquake, referred to as “tsunami fires,” may be a potential universal hazard that tsunami‐prone countries face; however, it has not

Decentralized Wind Energy Systems as Catalysts for Urban Resilience: A Design Framework

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Confronting the escalating extreme weather events (EWEs) and intensifying winds, this study proposes an active response to these issues by exploring decentralized wind energy production for Peng Chau Island, Hong Kong. It integrates theoretical perspectives on energy democracy—empowering local communities through energy autonomy—and urban ...

Evaluating the Substitution Value of Green Electricity for Advancing Renewable Energy Development Through the Value‐Added Contributions of Iran's Petrochemical Industries: A System Dynamics Approach

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study proposes a sustainable financing model for renewable energy in Iran by channeling petrochemical profits and carbon tax revenues into feed‐in tariffs. Reallocating natural gas from low‐efficiency power plants to high‐value petrochemical production enhances economic returns while reducing CO₂ emissions.
