Eliminate the sources of harm”
As cities respond to climate change, what adaptive measures do residents of rapidly gentrifying neighborhoods prioritize, and why? As part of a Participatory Action Research study in metropolitan Boston, we conducted semi-structured interviews with residents of nine rapidly developing neighborhoods to explore their conceptualizations of resilience to climate change and their desires for climate adaptation. We found that residents in these communi…
‘Together We Know a Lot’
This paper examines the social learning process among a group of community resident and academic researchers working together on a Participatory Action Research study exploring the relationship between urban development and community health. Through a reflective case study of our collaborative data analysis team’s work, we highlight key social learning dynamics on our team, as well as key enabling conditions that fostered social learning. We offe…
Exploring ownership of change and health equity implications in neighborhood change processes
Traditional planning processes have perpetuated the exclusion of historically marginalized communities, imposing vulnerability to climate (health) crises. We investigate how ownership of change fosters equitable climate resilience and community well-being through participatory action research. Our study highlights the detrimental effects of climate gentrification on community advocacy for climate security and health, negatively impacting well-bei…
The Urban Infrastructure of Care
Problem, research strategy and findings Around the world, people’s life-sustaining capacities for caring for one another are overextended in unequal and unsustainable ways, with major implications for gender, racial, and health equity in cities. Here we explore how care work depends on the urban environment and how planning can enhance the social and material conditions for caregiving in cities. We analyzed semistructured interviews with family c…
Ownership of change
Processes of neighborhood change are important determinants of health. One salient dimension of the experience of neighborhood changes is a person's evolving sense of empowerment over the changes around them, such as development of new housing or shifts in economic opportunity. Community residents collaborating on a Participatory Action Research study developed the novel construct "ownership of change" to capture this psychosocial process, and hy…
Community change and resident needs
The health implications of urban development, particularly in rapidly changing, low-income urban neighborhoods, are poorly understood. We describe the Healthy Neighborhoods Study (HNS), a Participatory Action Research study examining the relationship between neighborhood change and population health in nine Massachusetts neighborhoods. Baseline data from the HNS survey show that social factors, specifically income insecurity, food insecurity, soc…
