Evaluating the Inclusion of Urban Resilience in Localised Sustainable Development Goals: Opportunities to Align Urban Agendas
There has been increasing policy action at the intersection of sustainable development and urban resilience. This paper explores how cities are monitoring urban resilience through localised Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We analysed four municipalities that have localised SDGs and resilience strategies: Melbourne, Barcelona, Bristol and Cape Town. Content analysis assessed and compared how urban resilience concepts are reflected in localis…
Internationally Validated Open Access Indicators of Large Public Urban Green Space for Healthy and Sustainable Cities
Large public urban green spaces (LPUGS) provide multiple health and environmental co‐benefits by mitigating urban heat, improving air quality and biodiversity, and promoting physical activity, social interactions, and mental wellbeing. There is a lack of accessible, evidence‐informed, and internationally validated LPUGS indicators to assist with benchmarking and monitoring progress toward healthy and sustainable cities globally. This study develo…
Global Healthy and Sustainable City Indicators: Collaborative development of an open science toolkit for calculating and reporting on urban indicators internationally
Measuring and monitoring progress towards achieving healthy, equitable and sustainable cities is a priority for planners, policymakers and researchers in diverse contexts globally. Yet data collection, analysis, visualisation and reporting on policy and spatial indicators involve specialised knowledge, skills, and collaboration across disciplines. Integrated open-source tools for calculating and communicating urban indicators for diverse urban co…
Designed for life: A prospective cohort study examining the relationship between apartment design and residential stability
The construction of apartments is a key strategy to improve urban sustainability and address housing shortages. However, in Australia and elsewhere, apartments are typically viewed as temporary housing for specific life stages, with apartment residents more likely to relocate than those living in houses. This prospective cohort study examined whether apartment design attributes contributed to residential stability. Residents ( n = 212) in apartme…
A research-based, practice-relevant urban resilience framework for local government
Urban resilience has rapidly developed as a concept to assist urban actors to prepare for, and respond to, shocks and stresses experienced in cities. Urban resilience has been variously defined, and abstract and nebulous resilience concepts can be difficult to apply in practice. Through a research-practice partnership we sought to clarify the concept of urban resilience and make it applicable to the multi-sectoral work of local government in Aust…
Building back healthier? The transformative potential and reality of city planning responses to Covid-19 in Melbourne, Australia
The COVID-19 pandemic was one of the most significant public health and urban planning challenges that cities have faced in recent times. From an evolutionary resilience perspective, the disruption caused by the pandemic was a potential opportunity to create more resilient urban environments that reduce infectious and non-communicable disease risks. This paper examines whether and how city planning policy responses to COVID-19 in Melbourne, Austr…
A Generalized Framework for Measuring Pedestrian Accessibility around the World Using Open Data
Pedestrian accessibility is an important factor in urban transport and land use policy and critical for creating healthy, sustainable cities. Developing and evaluating indicators measuring inequalities in pedestrian accessibility can help planners and policymakers benchmark and monitor the progress of city planning interventions. However, measuring and assessing indicators of urban design and transport features at high resolution worldwide to ena…
Spatial and socioeconomic inequities in liveability in Australia’s 21 largest cities: Does city size matter
Spatial and area-level socioeconomic variation in urban liveability (access to social infrastructure, public transport, open space, healthy food choices, local employment, street connectivity, dwelling density, and housing affordability) was examined and mapped across 39,967 residential statistical areas in Australia's metropolitan (n = 7) and largest regional cities (n = 14). Urban liveability varied spatially, with inner-city areas more liveabl…

Planning Healthy, Liveable and Sustainable Cities: How Can Indicators Inform Policy?
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…
Urban liveability: Emerging lessons from Australia for exploring the potential for indicators to measure the social determinants of health
Body fat deposition. Biological predictor of eating disturbance
Withdrawn: A potential new indicator of weight gain: Autonomic nervous system activity (Ansa)
Withdrawn: Responsiveness to preloads in a laboratory study of three types of female dieters: Preliminary report
Individual differences in sensitivity to food stimuli: Relationship between cognitive biases and trait eating behavior
Colliding Feminisms: Britney Spears, “Tweens,” and the Politics of Reception
Video-games, cartoon violence, and “shoot-em-up” action movies provoke school shootings. Ever-shrinking supermodels and actors encourage eating disorders. Heavy metal music lures boys to Satanism and suicide. Hollywood teaches girls passivity and submission. Or so we learn on the nightly news. Scores of studies that seem to support an influence of media content on audience beliefs and behavior drive our ever-current “blame-the-media” political cl…
Claiming Amadeus: Classical Feedback in American Media
Lisa Simpson, the sensitive, politically correct, intelligent, seven-yearold conscience of Fox's cartoon sitcom The Simpsons, joins MENSA. Three ordinary high-school students (and soon-to-be kidnappers) knock on the door of their nemesis, the condescending teacher Mrs. Tingle in Teaching Mrs. Tingle. Pet detective Ace Ventura, in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, crashes a party hosted by one of Miami's billionaires. Ben Stein prepares to risk more of …
