Slow Cities
Book Review: Slow Cities: Conquering Our Speed Addiction for Health... 202 Slow Cities: Conquering Our Speed Addiction for Health and Sustainability Paul Tranter and Rodney Tolley (2020) Amsterdam: Elsevier, 422 pages $106.25 (paperback), ISBN 9780128153161 Children and young people are attracted to speed. Toddlers run, pre-schoolers love trikes and scooters, school-aged children enjoy bikes and go-carts. But, as rushed parents know, children als…
Housing need assessments in San Francisco, Vancouver, and Melbourne
Governments in much of the Global North have responded to dramatic increases in house prices and rents by setting supply-side targets for new housing in regional and local plans, based on calculations of need. We apply social constructionism to assess widely divergent needs assessments underlying housing strategies in San Francisco, US; Vancouver, Canada; and Melbourne, Australia. In San Francisco, authorities use an approach required by the stat…

The City Under Covid‐19
This critical commentary reflects on a rapidly mobilised international podcast project, in which 25 urban scholars from around the world provided audio recordings about their cities during COVID‐19. New digital tools are increasing the speeds, formats and breadth of the research and communication mediums available to researchers. Voice recorders on mobile phones and digital audio editing on laptops allows researchers to collaborate in new ways, a…
Children’s independent mobility
Research has documented the decline in children’s independent mobility (CIM) globally. CIM is a measure of the level of a child’s freedom to move about his or her local neighbourhood without direct adult supervision. This paper explores the effectiveness of three intervention programmes to change travel behaviours of children to and from school in 26 Catholic primary schools in a range of urban and regional settings in Victoria, Australia. Using …

Rights Talk, Needs Talk and Money Talk in Affordable Housing Partnerships
There has been increased global activism supporting the right to housing. But in neoliberal governance regimes in wealthy cities of North America and Australia, belief in that right as an effective advocacy tool is weak. This paper focuses on the responses of 30 key affordable housing actors in four cities – Vancouver, Toronto, Portland and Melbourne, the majority of whom reject using the “right to housing” in their organizational work. Fraser’s …
Using spatial measures to test a conceptual model of social infrastructure that supports health and wellbeing
Social infrastructure requires a consistent and measurable definition and more evidence is needed to demonstrate why it is important to health, wellbeing and the liveability of a community. In this paper, social infrastructure is defined as life-long social service needs related to health, education, early childhood, community support, community development, culture, sport and recreation, parks and emergency services. These services are needed to…
Introduction to Special Issue
The six papers in this special issue describe a deep schism in the relationships between research, teaching and practice, with a focus on Australia. There are many reasons why translating urban research and pedagogy into practice has increased in importance in recent years. This introduction provides three negative factors—decreasing funding, relevance and voice—and two more positive factors—the rise of the ‘pracademic’ and increasing social medi…
Participatory Action Research in Affordable Housing Partnerships
Participatory Action Research (PAR) emphasizes working with communities to develop questions that are relevant to their needs, then co-generating research to answer these questions. Typically, PAR focuses on empowering marginalized communities. Transforming Housing is a community–university collaborative partnership based in Melbourne Australia, with researchers asking developers, government, investors and community housing providers what they ne…
Planning Healthy, Liveable and Sustainable Cities
Creating ‘liveable’ communities that are healthy and sustainable is an aspiration of policymakers in Australia and overseas. Indicators are being used at the national, state and local level to compare the liveability of cities and regions. Yet, there are challenges in the adoption of such indicators. Planning scholars see a challenge in creating indicators that measure something publicly valued, while public health researchers are concerned about…
Partnerships for women’s safety in the city
Ten years after the first Reclaim the Night marches in the late 1970s began to galvanize women around the right to move freely in public and private space without fear of violence, a local governance-based movement to promote women’s safety developed in European and Canadian cities and was later diffused to Africa, Asia and Latin America. This movement drew on urban planning and design as a means to promote women’s empowerment. Partnerships devel…

Active living research
There is growing recognition that partnerships with policy-makers and practitioners are critical, if active living research has any chance of being translated into policy and practice. These partnerships provide researchers insight into policy-relevant research questions; create an appetite for the research findings amongst policy-makers; and help create 'champions' for the research who can assist in advocating for the findings to be translated. …

The rhetoric and reality of preventing family violence at the local governance level in Victoria, Australia
This is an opportune time to review current policies and plans for responding to family violence in Australia. The recently elected Labor government has developed new promises and plans to respond to violence. Both the community sector and the various government tiers have used many terms to describe family violence, violence against women, community safety, and crime and violence. This article argues that the terms used matter for the formation,…
Barriers to Planning Healthier Cities in Victoria, Australia
Stuck at the Front Door
This paper is in respectful challenge to two streams in urban social geography and planning literatures: the question of how gendered geographies of fear help constitute identities spatially, and the related question of how gendered urban space can be made and remade to be more egalitarian. I argue that the first of these bodies of literature is often trapped in an unhelpful public-private divide, which reflects the inability of mainstream crime …
At the Intersection of Invisibilities
This article explores the concept of ‘invisibility’ in relation to women, homelessness and health in Ontario, Canada. While popular images of homelessness continue to focus on older men with mental illness and/or addictions issues, the proportion of women without secure, affordable shelter continues to rise. The stereotypes of homelessness also have a spatial component, with the incorrect assumption that housing affordability crises are concentra…
Village Ghetto Land
The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how historical narratives such as wealthy “suburb,” declining “slum,” and resurgent “village” can have little basis in the social conditions of the time they purport to represent, yet be used to justify urban policy and planning decisions. In a case study of Parkdale, Toronto, we show how a history of the neighborhood was constructed in the 1970s by using a selective reading of the historic record, an…
