Systemic issues in the English social housing sector
Identifying leverage points in the social housing system
Integrating management and sustainability literature
This commentary explores the integration of management and sustainability literature, using the work of Gonçalves et al. (2024) as a starting point. I situate their work within the broader context of literature that connects the management and sustainability fields, tracing historical developments and diverse perspectives. Key areas for further exploration include the fields' different levels of analysis, the commensurability of theoretical found…
Sustaining Attention to Sustainability, Health, and Well-Being in Urban Regeneration
In urban regeneration projects, balancing environmental, social, and economic aspects is crucial but challenging, often leading to mission drift when team focus deviates from the original goals. Through a case study of regeneration projects at a large U.K. housing association, we explore decision makers’ attention to sustainability, health, and well-being as core elements of social mission. We combined qualitative analysis with an examination of …
Evidence-informed urban health and sustainability governance in two Chinese cities
Sustainable development is best supported by intersectoral policies informed by a range of evidence and knowledge types ( e . g . scientific and lay). Given China's rapid urbanisation, scale and global importance in climate mitigation, this study investigates how evidence is perceived and used to inform urban health and sustainability policies at central and local levels. Well-informed senior professionals in government/scientific agencies (12 in…
Relationship-building around a policy decision-support tool for urban health
Contemporary challenges linked to public health and climate change demand more effective decision-making and urban planning practices, in particular by taking greater account of evidence. In order to do this, trust-building relationships between scientists and urban practitioners through collaborative research programmes is required. Based on a policy-relevant research project, Complex Urban Systems for Sustainability and Health (CUSSH), this pro…
High-rise residential building makeovers
Integrating health into the complex urban planning policy and decision-making context
Public health practitioners produce urban health indicator (UHI) tools to inform built environment policy and decision-making, among other objectives. Indicator producers perceive UHI tools as an easily understandable form of evidence about the urban environment impact on health for policy-makers’ consumption. However, indicator producers often conceptualise policy-making as a rational and linear process, therefore underestimating the complex and…
