Associations between walkability and physical activity among children and adolescents
Children and adolescents often do not meet the WHO ́s physical activity (PA) recommendations. As many of them live in urban areas, these are important spaces for PA-promotion. Objective measures such as the Walkability Index are often used to assess urban spaces in terms of their PA friendliness. However, it is unclear whether such parameters can predict PA behavior of children and adolescents. This study examines the relationships between the Wa…
Revisiting recent findings on gated communities and racial homogeneity
This paper seeks to determine the propensity of racial minorities to live in gated communities. A recent study by Plaut in this journal finds that nonwhites are more likely to live in gated communities than whites for both renters and homeowners. Such a finding would indicate a major change in housing patterns. I replicate and build upon her study by including multiple years of data, disaggregating the nonwhite variable into its important racial …
How Might the Covid-19 Pandemic Affect 21st Century Urban Design, Planning, and Development
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to transform lives and ways of living across the globe, it is becoming increasingly clear that adaptations involving both physical and institutional infrastructure are warranted. Cities are at the forefront of these adaptive changes as dense urban environments are particularly vulnerable to the spread of contagious airborne diseases such as the novel coronavirus. This paper considers how COVID-19 might influence…
An Examination of State-Level Public–Private Partnership Adoption
This study examines the influence of economic, political, and demand factors on the adoption of public–private partnerships (PPPs) from 2000 to 2016. State debt, urban travel demand, and state laws allowing unsolicited PPP proposals have a significant effect on PPP adoption. Counter to previous studies that suggest conservative state governments adopt PPPs at a greater rate than liberal governments, we find that the influence of political ideolog…
Neighborhood Hierarchy of Needs
Neighborhood and homeowners associations represent two forms of neighborhood governance in the United States, and these residential community associations (RCAs) aid in neighborhood development. In this article, I make the case that RCAs address a hierarchy of needs in the development of the neighborhood. I use a mixed methods approach with surveys and elite interviews of neighborhood and homeowners association presidents in Tallahassee, Florida,…
Neighborhood Governments and Their Role in Property Values
More U.S. citizens live in neighborhoods governed by homeowners (HOAs) or neighborhood associations (NAs) than in any period of American history. Property values are typical association goals. Research fails to consider all types of associations in the examination of the effects of neighborhood governance on property values. In this article, I study the effects of HOAs and NAs on property values. I find that HOAs increase property values, while N…
The Effects of Neighborhood Democracy on Cooperation
What effect does participation in neighborhood governments have on residents’ willingness to contribute to the provision of public goods? This is an important question to ask given the growth of homeowners associations (HOAs) in the United States. HOAs provide a medium through which citizens can practice democratic skills. The social capital and efficacy built through this participation may increase an individual’s willingness to use his or her o…
Does Walkability Influence Housing Prices
Objective We examine the effects of neighborhood walkability on house values. Recent research claims that walkability makes homes more valuable, ceteris paribus. We contend that some studies report a spurious effect of walkability because of differences between areas with high and low walkability. Methods We replicate the positive effect of walkability on prices for single‐family homes and condominiums in Miami, Florida, using a unique data set o…
Learning from the States? Federalism and National Health Policy
In its 1993 report, the Winter Commission gave direction to the federal government in the area of health policy and Medicaid: lead, follow, or get out of the way. This article examines how the federal government responded to that advice, specifically asking what has happened in the allocation of responsibility in health policies between 1993 and 2006. In short, unlike the suggestion that there be a better‐defined direction in federal–state policy…
