Walking and Perceptions of Danger in Various Cities
City &Society, Volume 37, Issue 2, August 2025.ABSTRACT Taking inspiration from Mauss' classic idea of walking as one of many “techniques of the body,” this essay reflects on how perceptions of danger shape how one walks in various cities. I draw on my own research on the limits and possibilities of quantified walking as well as on urban experiences I have had in my life.

Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 20, Page 2992-3012, 18 August 2025.Abstract For existing bridge weigh‐in‐motion technologies, the main challenge in accurate weight estimation is to overcome the difficulty of identifying the closely spaced axles. To do so, many field test data are generally required for each bridge in application. To address such a challenge, a novel two‐level sequential artificial neural network (ANN)

Zero‐shot framework for construction equipment task monitoring
Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 21, Page 3218-3238, 29 August 2025.Abstract Vision‐based monitoring of construction equipment is limited in scalability due to the high resource demands of collecting and labeling large datasets across diverse environments. This study proposes a framework that employs Zero‐Shot Learning (ZSL) and Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM) to recognize construction equipment tasks from video

Sustaining Decarbonisation: Energy Storage, Green Extractivism, and the Future of Mining
Antipode, Volume 57, Issue 4, Page 1259-1279, July 2025.Abstract Within the context of the so‐called green energy transition, the mining industry has successfully repositioned itself as a facilitator of, rather than an impediment to, a sustainable future. Underlying the success of this claim is a discourse of sustainability that, on the one hand, equates sustainability with decarbonisation and, on the other

‘MORTAL FEAST’: Cannibal Capitalism Meets Covid‐19 in the Urban Peruvian Amazon
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Volume 49, Issue 2, Page 229-245, March 2025.Abstract This article presents a surrealist urban political ecology of cannibal capitalism in the zoonotic city. It does so through an account of the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic in Iquitos, in the Peruvian Amazon, which was the worst‐hit city in the world during this initial wave. Iquitos embodies multiple dimensions of zoonotic urbanization
