Detecting thresholds in the health impact of the urban built environment
Rationing in healthcare—a scoping review
Healthcare rationing has been the subject of numerous debates and concerns in the field of health economics in recent years. It is a concept which refers to the allocation of scarce healthcare resources and involves the use of different approaches to the delivery of health services and patient care. Regardless of the approach used, healthcare rationing fundamentally involves withholding potentially beneficial programs and/or treatments from certa…
Community Design and Revitalization to Promote Health
This “Community Design and Revitalization to Promote Health: The Track Record After 20 Years” special issue features articles that scrutinize the implementation and results of interventions promoting public health across the built environment fields. Analyzing policies, case studies, pilot programs, and other dimensions of the built environment constructed in communities, cities, and regions in recent years, these special issue articles present t…
Megaregions and Covid-19
In the United States, megaregions, which are networks of urban centres and their hinterlands, have a greater prevalence of COVID-19, but have been overlooked as a geographical unit for multi-jurisdictional governance for pandemic response. Existing multi-metropolitan planning organization (MPO) collaborations and state-level COVID-19 coalitions in the United States demonstrate the utility of the megaregion as an effective framework for regional c…
New potential for multimodal connection
Agglomeration economies’ influence on logistics clusters’ growth and competitiveness
Agglomeration economies’ influence on logistics clusters’ growth and competitiveness. Regional Studies. This study identifies logistics clusters and explores their effect on establishment and employment growth to extrapolate the presence of competitiveness-enhancing agglomeration economies in clusters. The study uses a US ZIP code-level dataset to enhance past research by increasing spatial precision and statistically controlling for related vari…
Health Impact Assessments and Healthy Schools
Defining healthy schools remains largely discipline specific. Design disciplines ground discussions in a “green building” framework. Public health approaches healthy schools through programmatic interventions for physical activity and nutrition. This article presents a more systemic approach to healthy schools via health impact assessment (HIA). It reviews literature on health determinants in school environments, focusing on physical design. Exis…

Growing the Field of Health Impact Assessment in the United States
Health impact assessment (HIA) methods are used to evaluate the impact on health of policies and projects in community design, transportation planning, and other areas outside traditional public health concerns. At an October 2004 workshop, domestic and international experts explored issues associated with advancing the use of HIA methods by local health departments, planning commissions, and other decisionmakers in the United States. Workshop pa…

Responses to Suburban Highway Congestion
The dramatic increase in the growth of suburban-to-suburban travel as a result of the suburbanization of both jobs and people has ushered in another crisis. The congestion level in suburbs of American cities is the foremost topic of discussion and everywhere there is concern that we develop solutions that are both immediate and effective. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, this need arises at a time when local areas are financially stressed a…
Increasing Minority and Female Representation in the Profession
The influence of race and gender on perceptions of community impact
Measuring Transportation System Effectiveness
This paper attempts to develop a strategy for measuring effectiveness in the delivery of transportation services within multimodal systems. It is one example of the kind of technique which utilizes a few reliable measures and is therefore more appropriate for the regular evaluation of system effectiveness. The strategy is applied in an analysis of system performance in Atlanta, Georgia for both existing and proposed modes. A principal concern is …
