Mapping the hyperlinks and networks of Central and South American capital cities in three languages: consistencies and variations.

In a globalized, urbanized and knowledge/information world, mapping information about places is critical for a city's local, regional, and international standing. Those networks are important in a city's positioning within a country and in a larger regional and global context. We investigate these linkages and networks by exploring the regional networks of 8 Central and 13 South American capital cities plus São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.

Slavutych atomograd as the last ideal city of the USSR: Challenges and adaptation mechanisms of resilience.

Urban resilience implies the ability of all components of a city system to maintain or restore their functions following unforeseen events, and the ability to adapt to external changes. We apply the concept of resilience and adaptation to Slavutych atomograd following the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Station explosion. Challenges and responses facing the urban management and planning systems are examined.
