Understanding the socio-spatial distribution of “dark retail” in England
Online food delivery services (OFDS) are an increasingly popular way of accessing both ready-to-consume foods and groceries. Such foods are sometimes delivered from facilities not open to the public - so called 'dark retail'. However, there is a lack of data on 'dark retail', which limits understanding of their location, prevalence and growth. We identified different types of dark kitchens (i.e., "virtual brands", "ghost kitchens") and dark groce…
Young people’s perspectives on policies to create healthier food environments in England
Food environments are important determinants of healthy diets among young people. This study explored young people’s perspectives on their food environment, their recommendations to policymakers and views on youth engagement in policy processes. There is limited research on young people’s perspectives on their involvement in developing food environment policies. Youth engagement in policymaking processes can lead to greater policy integrity and i…
Does better than expected life expectancy in areas of disadvantage indicate health resilience? Stakeholder perspectives and possible explanations
Some places have better than expected health trends despite being disadvantaged in other ways. Thematic analysis of qualitative data from stakeholders (N = 25) in two case studies of disadvantaged local authorities the North West and South East of England assessed explanations for the localities' apparent health resilience. Participants identified ways of working that might contribute to improved life expectancy, such as partnering with third sec…
Assessment and Qualitative Comparative Analysis of English Local Authority Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategies to Improve Health under Austerity Conditions, 2013–2017
Background . Local government is important for health equity because local policies often affect place‐based health, health equity, and their wider social determinants of health. In England, local governments must produce Joint Health and Wellbeing (JH&W) Strategies, outlining local strategies for health improvement. These strategies have been produced concurrently with budget cuts to local governments that are associated with adverse health and …
Spreading the gains from geographical indications
Defined as signs denoting products linked to discrete characteristics of an area, geographical indications (GIs) acquired prominence in the economic development agenda. Gains from GIs triggered processes of redefinition and extension of the underlying territorial boundaries. Extensions increased the number of beneficiaries of the returns from GIs but also ignited tensions that deserve to be observed to distil theoretical insights on the evolution…
Natural experiments for the evaluation of place-based public health interventions
Introduction Place-based public health evaluations are increasingly making use of natural experiments. This scoping review aimed to provide an overview of the design and use of natural experiment evaluations (NEEs), and an assessment of the plausibility of the as-if randomization assumption. Methods A systematic search of three bibliographic databases (Pubmed, Web of Science and Ovid-Medline) was conducted in January 2020 to capture publications …
Can White allyship contribute to tackling ethnic inequalities in health? Reflections on the experiences of diverse young adults in England
Ethnic diversity and racism have not featured strongly in English research, policy or practice centred on understanding and addressing health inequalities. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement have shone fresh light on deep-rooted ethnic inequalities and mobilised large segments of the population into anti-racist demonstration. These recent developments suggest that, despite strong counterforces within national gover…
University contributions to co-creating sustainable tourism destinations
A debate is emerging about the evolving functions and roles of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). New functions pivot on value-adding to the social, environmental and economic sustainability of communities – or in tourism parlance – destinations. This paper extends knowledge with a case study of an Italian-based EU project, in which a local university took a prominent role in developing a city and its countryside into a sustainable gastronomy …
Understanding the Online Environment for the Delivery of Food, Alcohol and Tobacco
Online spaces are increasingly important in the sale of food, alcohol and tobacco. This analysis focuses on two developments in online food delivery: delivery-only 'dark kitchens' and rapid grocery delivery services (RGDS), with the aim to understand and assess the availability of health harming and health promoting products through these services. Data was collected for one metropolitan local authority in London, UK, using publicly available onl…
Keeping a foot in both camps
This study critically examines sustainable development (SD) within the contemporary practices of city branding, a prominent business philosophy that underpins market-led development strategies of urban areas. In pursuing uniqueness, different cities often seem to hint at the very same themes of differentiation, and this reflects the tendency to embrace pre-given sets of place-development discourses. This work casts a critical perspective on SD as…
