Sustaining collaborations after a crisis
It is well established within the public management literature that times of crisis can facilitate collaboration across government sectors and external stakeholders due to factors such as a clear task focus and the relaxation of some organisational and institutional constraints. However, what has been less explored are the mechanisms and conditions for sustaining these collaborations in a post-crisis context. In such contexts there is a need to m…
Do Australian Disability Policies Support Accessible and Inclusive Neighbourhoods for Children with Disability and Their Families
There is increasing momentum for considering the broader social determinants of health, including the neighbourhood, for children with disability. This paper analysed Australian national, state, and territory disability policy documents to understand the extent neighbourhood child liveability domains are considered as levers to support wellbeing and social inclusion for children with disability. Seven of the eight domains defining a liveable neig…
Characteristics of geographic environments that support the health and wellbeing of young people with disability
This scoping review characterised the existing evidence around the key characteristics of geographic environments that support (or hinder) the health and wellbeing of young people with disability, and identified several important gaps and opportunities for future research. This includes developing a better understanding of the place-based experiences, geographic scales, and environmental exposures that are most relevant for young people with disa…
The Role of Neighbourhood Social and Built Environments – Including Third Places – in Older Adults’ Social Interactions
Neighbourhood environments shape older adults’ social interactions. This research conceptualises a comprehensive set of perceived and objective measures of neighbourhood social and built environments, including third places, with older adults’ social interactions. In Melbourne, based on the person-environment fit framework, mediation analyses showed that the perceived social environment measures of community spirit, participation in community gro…
Neighborhood ‘double disadvantage’ and child development in inner city and growth areas
We examined whether urbanicity – living in inner, middle, outer or growth areas – was associated with children's developmental vulnerability. We also explored effects of neighborhood ‘double disadvantage’, conceptualised as living in an outer or growth area with high neighborhood disadvantage, was associated with children's developmental vulnerability. There seemed to be no relationship between the level of urbanicity and child development, but u…
Disability-related inequalities in the prevalence of loneliness across the lifespan
This study confirms that people with disability have increased risk of loneliness compared to people without disability. We add to the existing evidence by demonstrating that disability-related inequalities in loneliness have persisted for two decades in Australia without improvement. Our findings indicate that addressing inequalities in loneliness for people with disability is a critical public health concern given that loneliness is associated …
Associations between the urban neighbourhood built and social environment characteristics with physical functioning among mid- and older-aged adults
Is the availability and quality of local early childhood education and care services associated with young children's mental health at school entry
We found some evidence that geographic availability of high-quality preschools was associated with better child mental health outcomes, but results varied by urbanicity. While future research is required to unpack these differences, these findings indicate the importance of accounting for both geographic availability and service quality simultaneously in future research, policy and practice
Household income supplements in early childhood to reduce inequities in children's development
Disability and loneliness in the United Kingdom
Adults with disabilities were more likely to experience loneliness, become lonely and remain lonely over time than their peers. Policies and interventions aimed at reducing loneliness should ensure that they are accessible and effective for people with disabilities. Further research is needed to explore the health outcomes of persistent loneliness among people with/without disabilities
An urban neighbourhood framework for realising progress towards the New Urban Agenda for equitable early childhood development
Children consistently exposed to positive, stimulating environments, including their spatial neighbourhood, experience foundations for ongoing optimal development. Recognition of the neighbourhood as a mechanism to enhance wellbeing is reflected in the United Nation's New Urban Agenda. Through a series of innovations and advancements, this paper aims to describe a spatial indicators' framework, the Neighbourhood Early Childhood Development Framew…
Exercise facility availability and incidence of type 2 diabetes and complications in Spain
Living in areas with lower availability of exercise facilities was associated with a greater risk of type 2 diabetes and its complications. Increasing exercise opportunities, particularly in low SES areas, could help reduce the social gradient of diabetes and its complications
The potential of intervening on childhood adversity to reduce socioeconomic inequities in body mass index and inflammation among Australian and UK children
BACKGROUND: Lower maternal education is associated with higher body mass index (BMI) and higher chronic inflammation in offspring. Childhood adversity potentially mediates these associations. We examined the extent to which addressing childhood adversity could reduce socioeconomic inequities in these outcomes. METHODS: We analysed data from two early-life longitudinal cohorts: the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC; n=1873) and the U…
Policy-Relevant Spatial Indicators of Urban Liveability And Sustainability
Urban liveability is a global priority for creating healthy, sustainable cities. Measurement of policy-relevant spatial indicators of the built and natural environment supports city planning at all levels of government. Analysis of their spatial distribution within cities, and impacts on individuals and communities, is crucial to ensure planning decisions are effective and equitable. This paper outlines challenges and lessons from a 5-year collab…
Access to and Quality of Neighbourhood Public Open Space and Children’s Mental Health Outcomes
Improving access to neighbourhood public open space appears to be a promising strategy for preventing mental health difficulties and promoting competence in early childhood. Action is needed to redress socio-spatial inequities in access to child friendly public open space
Using Geovisualization Tools to Examine Attitudes towards Alcohol Exposure in Urban Environments
Pervasiveness of alcohol products and their promotion in the urban landscape may normalize alcohol consumption. This study aims to utilize geovisualization-based methods to assess attitudes towards different levels of alcohol exposure in the urban environment. We selected a typical downtown location, Lavapiés Square in Madrid, Spain, to conduct our study. First, we designed and created realistic 3D models simulating three different urban scenes w…
Data to Decisions
Healthy development in the early years lays the foundations for children's ongoing physical, emotional, and social development. Children develop in multiple contexts, including their local neighbourhood. Neighbourhood-built environment characteristics, such as housing, walkability, traffic exposure, availability of services, facilities, and parks, are associated with a range of health and wellbeing outcomes across the life course, but evidence wi…
Building Capacity in Monitoring Urban Liveability in Bangkok
Cities are widely recognised as important settings for promoting health. Nonetheless, making cities more liveable and supportive of health and wellbeing remains a challenge. Decision-makers' capacity to use urban health evidence to create more liveable cities is fundamental to achieving these goals. This paper describes an international partnership designed to build capacity in using liveability indicators aligned with the UN Sustainable Developm…
Living liveable? Reside's evaluation of the “Liveable Neighborhoods” planning policy on the health supportive behaviors and wellbeing of residents in Perth, Western Australia
The synthesis of findings suggests that new suburban communities built in accordance with the "Liveable Neighbourhoods" policy have the potential to encourage health supportive behaviors and wellbeing outcomes including transport and recreation walking, and to create neighborhoods with a stronger sense of community where residents may feel safer
Associations between Public Transport Accessibility around Homes and Schools and Walking and Cycling among Adolescents
Good public transport accessibility is associated with active travel, but this is under-researched among adolescents. We tested associations between public transport accessibility and active travel among school-going adolescents (12-18 years; n = 1329) from Melbourne, Australia analysing Victorian Integrated Survey of Travel and Activity data. Outcomes included main mode of transport to school and accumulating ≥20 min of active travel over the da…
Area-Level Associations between Built Environment Characteristics and Disability Prevalence in Australia
The importance of health-promoting neighborhoods has long been recognized, and characteristics of local built environments are among the social determinants of health. People with disability are more likely than other population groups to experience geographic mobility and cost restrictions, and to be reliant on 'opportunity structures' available locally. We conducted an ecological analysis to explore associations between area-level disability pr…
Examining the relationship between urban liveability and gender-based violence
Use of health services by preschool-aged children who are developmentally vulnerable and socioeconomically disadvantaged
AIM: The inverse care law suggests that those with the greatest need for services are least likely to receive them. Our aim of this study was to test the inverse care law in relation to the use of health services by children aged 4-5 years in Australia who were developmentally vulnerable and socioeconomically disadvantaged. METHOD: Cross-sectional data were collected from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children birth cohort when the childre…
The Urban Liveability Index
BACKGROUND: Designing healthy, liveable cities is a global priority. Current liveability indices are aggregated at the city-level, do not reflect spatial variation within cities, and are often not aligned to policy or health. OBJECTIVES: To combine policy-relevant liveability indicators associated with health into a spatial Urban Liveability Index (ULI) and examine its association with adult travel behaviours. METHODS: We developed methods to cal…
What is the meaning of urban liveability for a city in a low-to-middle-income country? Contextualising liveability for Bangkok, Thailand
BACKGROUND: Creating 'liveable' cities has become a priority for various sectors, including those tasked with improving population health and reducing inequities. Two-thirds of the world's population will live in cities by 2050, with the most rapid urbanisation in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). However, there is limited guidance about what constitutes a liveable city from a LMIC perspective, with most of the evidence relating to high-in…

Children’s independence and affordances experienced in the context of public open spaces
Public open spaces (POS) are key neighbourhood destinations for children, providing opportunities for meaningful experiences (i.e. affordances) and independence. This study aimed to explore children’s experiences and perceptions of neighbourhood POS in order to understand POS affordances for children’s independent mobility (CIM). This study utilised go-along (walking) and home interviews with 140 children aged 9–13 years living in nine diverse ne…
Social and built-environment factors related to children's independent mobility
Assessing Walking and Cycling Environments in the Streets of Madrid
Audit tools are useful for exploring the urban environment and its association with physical activity. Virtual auditing options are becoming increasingly available potentially reducing the resources needed to conduct these assessments. Only a few studies have explored the use of virtual audit tools. Our objective is to test if the Madrid Systematic Pedestrian and Cycling Environment Scan (M-SPACES) discriminates between areas with different urban…
Association of neighbourhood residence and preferences with the built environment, work-related travel behaviours, and health implications for employed adults
Travel behavior and objectively measured urban design variables
Examining associations between area-level spatial measures of housing with selected health and wellbeing behaviours and outcomes in an urban context
Precariously placed
Access to adequate, safe, secure, accessible and affordable housing is a fundamental human right and one stipulated in the United Nations Conventions on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Australian adults with disabilities experience housing disadvantage including homelessness, poor-quality housing and housing unaffordability; however, we lack a comprehensive comparison of the housing circumstances of people with and without disabilities a…
Associations between the neighbourhood built environment and out of school physical activity and active travel
This study's aim was to examine selected objectively-measured and child specific built environment attributes in relation to proportion of out-of-school time spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (%MVPA) and active travel in a group of ethnically and socio-economically diverse children (n=236) living in Auckland, New Zealand. Street connectivity and distance to school were related to the proportion of trips made by active modes. Ratio o…

Street network measures and adults' walking for transport
Understanding child disadvantage from a social determinants perspective
BACKGROUND: Child health and developmental inequities exist in all countries. Comprehensive and robust concepts of disadvantage are fundamental to growing an evidence base that can reveal the extent of inequities in childhood, and identify modifiable leverage points for change. We conceptualise and test a multidimensional framework of child disadvantage aligned to a social determinants and bioecological perspective. METHODS: The Longitudinal Stud…
Associations between individual socioeconomic position, neighbourhood disadvantage and transport mode
BACKGROUND: Understanding how different socioeconomic indicators are associated with transport modes provide insight into which interventions might contribute to reducing socioeconomic inequalities in health. The purpose of this study was to examine associations between neighbourhood-level socioeconomic disadvantage, individual-level socioeconomic position (SEP), and usual transport mode. METHODS: This investigation included 11,036 residents from…
Evaluating the health inequalities impact of area-based initiatives across the socioeconomic spectrum
BACKGROUND: Previous evaluations of area-based initiatives have not compared intervention areas with the full range of areas from top to bottom of the social spectrum to evaluate their health inequalities impact. SETTING: Deprived areas subject to the New Deal for Communities (NDC) intervention, local deprivation-matched comparator areas, and areas drawn from across the socioeconomic spectrum (representing high, medium and low deprivation) in Eng…
Development of a systems model to visualise the complexity of children's independent mobility
Substantial changes to the built environment, urbanisation patterns, and societal norms have contributed to limiting children's opportunities for being independently mobile. Several linear causal pathway models have been developed to understand the influences on children's independent mobility; however feedback loops between and within the various levels of influence cannot be modelled using such an approach. The purpose of this paper is to refin…
Who does well where? Exploring how self-rated health differs across diverse people and neighborhoods
Measuring children's independent mobility
Purpose: Children’s independent mobility [IM] (e.g., walking or cycling unaccompanied by parents) is an important source of physical activity accumulation. Yet, little research has been undertaken to identify best practice methods to determine distance and route travelled during these trips. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to determine whether: 1) children were able to accurately report distance travelled during an IM trip, and 2) IM t…

Seasonality in physical activity
Neighborhood Built Environment and Transport and Leisure Physical Activity
BACKGROUND: Evidence of associations between neighborhood built environments and transport-related physical activity (PA) is accumulating, but few studies have investigated associations with leisure-time PA. OBJECTIVE: We investigated associations of five objectively measured characteristics of the neighborhood built environment-destination access, street connectivity, dwelling density, land-use mix and streetscape quality-with residents' self-re…
OP08 Evaluating the Health Inequalities Impact of the New Deal for Communities Initiative
Background New Deal for Communities (NDC), a 10-year area-based regeneration initiative begun in 1999 in 39 disadvantaged neighbourhoods in England, has the potential to reduce health inequalities because it focuses on key social determinants of these inequalities: unemployment, crime, education, housing and the physical environment. This study assesses whether the NDC initiative impacted on health inequalities across the socioeconomic spectrum o…

Who does well where? Exploring how self-rated health differs across diverse people and neighborhoods
(Re)Designing the built environment to support physical activity
Associations between children’s independent mobility and physical activity
Independent outdoor play may boost children's daily physical activity levels, predominantly at light intensity. Hence, facilitating independent outdoor play could be a viable intervention strategy to enhance physical activity in children, particularly in girls. Associations between independent travel and physical activity are inconsistent overall and require further investigation
Do low-income neighbourhoods have the least green space? A cross-sectional study of Australia’s most populous cities
Affirmative action on green space planning is required to redress the socioeconomic inequity of access to this important public health resource
What constitutes a ‘trip’? Examining child journey attributes using GPS and self-report
Active travel is associated with improved health and development outcomes in children. Accurate detection of children's travel behaviors and routes, however, is problematic. Travel diaries are often used to collect information on children's travel behaviors, yet no evidence for the accuracy of this methodology exists. This study investigated the validity of children's self-reported trips (origin, destination) compared with an objective criterion …

Urban liveability
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…
Neighbourhood built environment associations with body size in adults
Built environment features were associated with body size in the expected directions. Objectively-assessed physical activity mediated observed built environment-body size relationships
Socio-demographic factors and neighbourhood social cohesion influence adults’ willingness to grant children greater independent mobility
Women, parents (particularly those of younger children), adults with lower education and those who perceived neighbourhood social cohesion as being lower were less willing to let children independently travel further away from home. Interventions to increase children's independent mobility may be more effective if targeted to these groups. In addition, increasing neighbourhood social cohesion may help increase adults' willingness to grant childre…
