Long‐term follow‐up of a randomised controlled trial of a brief home‐based parenting intervention to reduce behavioural problems in young children
BACKGROUND: Behaviour problems are common in childhood and are associated with higher rates of mental health problems, educational and relationship difficulties throughout life. This study assessed whether a Video-feedback Intervention to promote Positive Parenting and Sensitive Discipline (VIPP-SD) has sustained benefit 6 years after delivery. It had previously been shown to reduce behavioural problems in children aged 2 and 4 years old. METHODS…

Planning Urban Manufacturing, Industrial Building Typologies, and Built Environments
Despite concerns about the loss of industry, industrial land, and buildings in high-value post-industrial cities, there is concurrently a renewed enthusiasm around the potential of “new” urban manufacturing and its contribution to the socio-economic diversity of cities. Yet, little is known about how planning policy can best support the retention and growth of urban manufacturing. To advance this agenda, this article proposes that we need a bette…
The Spatial Morphology of Community in Chipping Barnet c.1800–2015
This article presents a case study of the London suburb of Chipping Barnet to show how a spatial-morphological approach to tangible heritage challenges its archetypal image as an affluent commuter suburb by highlighting its resilience as a generative patterning of social space that has weathered successive phases of social change. We argue that the enduring spatial-morphological definition of Barnet as a local centre explains how it has been poss…
Mapping spatial cultures
The theory and methods of space syntax can help to rebalance the prevailing cultural perspective, which views maps as ideological representations, with an analytical approach that emphasizes maps as sources for understanding space and spatial relationships embedded in built forms. The quantitative descriptions of urban street networks produced by space syntax analyses can be used to formulate and test hypotheses about patterns of urban movement, …
Space syntax theory and Durkheim’s social morphology
In outlining their influential architectural theory of space syntax, Hillier and Hanson acknowledge its affinity to Durkheim’s sociological considerations on the spatial-morphological basis of social life. In doing so, space syntax theory promised to address the then woefully under-theorized relationship between society and space, specifically by emphasizing the agency of spatial-morphological arrangements. Given the Durkheimian inspiration, it i…
Urban Landscape and Spatial Heritage
The paper examines theoretical and analytical premises for developing a systematic characterisation of spatial heritage in the urban landscape. Spatial heritage is proposed as alternative and active link between material and immaterial agencies in the formation of the cultural landscape over time. We probe the application of interdisciplinary research at the interface of spatial history, urban heritage, and space syntax studies to expand heritage…
Spatial culture, processional culture and the materialities of social memory in nineteenth-century Sheffield
This article presents research about a wide range of processions and crowd activities in the English industrial city of Sheffield c.1790–1910. It identifies a theoretical weakness in the historical scholarship where an emphasis on the role of procession and protest in symbolically ordering the built environment too often serves to represent it as intrinsically un-ordered and lacking in definition. The effect, it is argued, has been to present sym…
High street changeability
Adaptability and resilience are recognized as essential elements of urban sustainability, yet they remain elusive as propositions supported by empirical research. In the research presented here the affordance of change and continuity – here termed changeability – is investigated through a comparative historical study of two suburban centres in London - Surbiton and South Norwood - which have matured differently, despite many extrinsic similaritie…
HIV-related stigma and universal testing and treatment for HIV prevention and care
Background : Stigma and discrimination related to HIV and key populations at high risk of HIV have the potential to impede the implementation of effective HIV prevention and treatment programmes at scale. Studies measuring the impact of stigma on these programmes are rare. We are conducting an implementation science study of HIV-related stigma in communities and health settings within a large, pragmatic cluster-randomized trial of a universal tes…
Correlates of HIV Acquisition in a Cohort of Black Men Who Have Sex with Men in the United States
BACKGROUND: Black men who have sex with men (MSM) in the United States (US) are affected by HIV at disproportionate rates compared to MSM of other race/ethnicities. Current HIV incidence estimates in this group are needed to appropriately target prevention efforts. METHODS: From July 2009 to October 2010, Black MSM reporting unprotected anal intercourse with a man in the past six months were enrolled and followed for one year in six US cities for…
GIS and Research Into Historical “Spaces of Practice”
A Post-Trial Assessment of Factors Influencing Study Drug Adherence in a Randomized Biomedical HIV-1 Prevention Trial
The persistence of suburban centres in Greater London
The relationship between settlement form and the historical persistence of concentrations of diverse socio-economic activity in Greater London’s suburban centres through successive phases of rapid urban transformation is examined. Particular consideration is given to the development of three suburbs in Greater London: Barnet, South Norwood and Surbiton. Conzenian and space syntax approaches are combined within an integrated GIS environment. Both …
Do the suburbs exist? Discovering complexity and specificity in suburban built form
In human geography cities are routinely acknowledged as complex and dynamic built environments. This description is rarely extended to the suburbs, which are generally regarded as epiphenomena of the urbs and therefore of little intrinsic theoretical interest in themselves. This article presents a detailed critique of this widely held assumption by showing how the idea of ‘the suburban’ as an essentially non‐problematic domain has been perpetuate…
The Sustainable Suburban High Street
Whether suburbs are regarded as a distinctive feature of the contemporary urban landscape or as symptomatic of ‘sprawl’ the recent upsurge of scholarly interest in suburbia has done little to displace the dominant image of the suburb as a primarily residential phenomenon. In a wide ranging survey of the academic literature, taking account of current developments in the policy debate relating to suburban regeneration and also drawing on research c…
