“…The IOER RDC aims to provide essential spatial data, analysis, and digital tools that enable interdisciplinary research, support policy and planning practices, and aid decision-making for spatial sustainability transformations to happen [2], [3], [4]. The IOER RDC activities respond to pressing societal challenges, including rapid urbanisation [2], environmental degradation [3], climate change [4], and social inequality [5]. To address these issues, the IOER RDC focuses on spatial data science and artificial intelligence to process and analyse heterogeneous data sources, make sense of complex spatial relationships and dynamics, and visualise the results in an accessible way.…”

The emerging research data centre (RDC) at the Leibniz Institute of Ecological Urban and Regional Development (IOER) constitutes an essential milestone towards promoting sustainable land transition and transformative urban and regional development. The IOER RDC leverages spatial data science and artificial intelligence to process and analyse diverse and complex data sources. It provides high-resolution indicator maps of land use, ecosystems, and settlement structures, as well as cross-scale and cross-disciplinary spatial analyses, modelling, and simulations. Moreover, the IOER RDC offers digital tools to support decision-making, policy planning, and sustainable transformations. Hence, the IOER RDC has the potential to foster a sustainable future by facilitating the transition towards sustainable land use and development in urban and regional areas. The IOER RDC's endeavours offer a path towards addressing pressing societal challenges, such as rapid urbanisation, environmental degradation, climate change, and social inequality.

“…(see for example, Cirolia, Görgens, Smit, & Drimie, 2016;Cities Alliance, 2021;Tomlinson, 2017). Since its origins, slum upgrading has had a progressive history of responding to the residents of informal settlements and including them in the city, albeit seldom dealing with the unjust land distribution across the city (de Castro Mazarro, Sikder, & Pedro, 2022). Even if outcomes, especially in the Sub-Saharan African region, have been mixed, slum upgrading continues to evolve to be more inclusive.…”

“…Yet policy programmes juxtapose drug sellers, users and homeless inhabitants against housed people, who count as residents. This approach is distant from the inhabitations of millions in metropolis around the world, living in temporary, illegalised or unrecognised shelter (Caldeira 2017;Ren 2018;De Castro Mazarro et al 2022), and housing security is waning rapidly 'even' in Europe. Housed and unhoused people share networks, and drug users and sellers have family, friends and interdependencies (Blokland 2008).…”

Drugs feature in the geography of crime as an economy and as a threat to social order and public health. Spatial and social strategies of crime reduction ascribe agency to the state and to regulated residents of marginalised urban areas. Geographers also discussed anti‐drug policy have a revanchist neoliberal governance. Through the lens of urban territory and urban nomads in the crack‐cocaine‐dominated area Crackland in the centre of São Paulo, we argue that instead of a fixity of homelessness, drug markets and drug users in the geography of crime, one could pay more attention to nomadism, which can be found ethnographically in the journeys of three agents which we discuss. For over 20 years, city authorities have tried to ‘end’ Crackland with social programmes and police actions, or codifying attempts of territorialisation. An urban impasse emerged as these programmes failed to recognise Crackland as mobile territory of viracao. Crackland remains a zone reserved for the city's ‘human waste’ while perfectly integrated in the urban fabric.
