Rowland Atkinson (University of Sheffield, UK) published in International Journal of Urban and Regional Research Volume 43 Issue 1 (January 2019)
Abstract
This article problematizes the relationship between the global super‐rich and processes of property development that have generated large volumes of underused residential space.
Evidence is presented to show that much of London's new skyline is underused or lies entirely empty, so that one interpretation of this new landscape of super‐prime residential development is that it is a kind of dead residential space or necrotecture. These relatively lifeless spaces can be interpreted as the particularly wasteful result of continuing rounds of international capital investment in the built environment and the overconsumption of housing and other resources by the super‐rich.
Necrotectural forms, seen in new towers and spectacular homes, appear to index a massive misdirection of development capacity, even as the city experiences a massive social crisis that continues to be played out in the wider housing market.

Internet of things: a research-oriented introductory
an article by S.P. Raja (Vel Tech Rangarajan Dr. Sagunthala R&D Institute of Science and Technology, Avadi, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India) and T. Sampradeepraj (Sethu Institute of Technology, Kariapatti, Pulloor, Tamil Nadu, India) published in International Journal of Ad Hoc and Ubiquitous Computing Volume 29 Number 1/2 (2018)
Abstract
The world has shrunk considerably with the dramatic growth in internet usage. Every computer and mobile phone in the world can be connected together through internet technology. As a result, intelligent devices are connected and communicate together.
The internet of things (IoT) envisions a future where people and intelligent systems cooperate and work together.
In the IoT, machine-to-machine communication (M2M) helps devices exchange data, requiring power, efficiency, security and reliability. This paper advances new ideas for designing a security protocol in the IoT so as to facilitate secure M2M.

Where gender equality remains a myth, minority representation of women in architecture
an article by Graham Cole (Halifax, UK) published in Human Resource Management International Digest Volume 25 Issue 2 (2017)
Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.
Design/methodology/approach
This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.
Findings
Achieving equal opportunity for all was one of the driving forces behind the creation of the European Union (EU) in the mid-twentieth century.
In its different guises since then, the constitution has issued various directives pertaining to the issue. Member nations are thus expected to comply with the principles outlined in them.
Key to this arrangement is that countries are empowered to choose their own way of meeting equality objectives. Where gender equality in the context of work is concerned, it appears that progress has been minimal at best.
One might argue that paying lip service to EU Directives is as good as it gets in many cases.
The number of professions which are still firmly male-dominated is ample testimony to such notions.
Originality/value
The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
