Abstract

Throughout the past 50 years, sustainable urban development models (SUDMs) have been introduced in cities across the world with the intention of limiting environmental air pollution and, more recently, greenhouse gas emissions. However, the health and wellbeing impacts that these interventions have had on different demographic groups are not well understood. Feminist urbanists have often critiqued hierarchical and non-participatory approaches to urban design for the detrimental impact they may have on women and minority groups. With x-minute neighborhood policies gaining popularity in urban planning across the world, gathering evidence on the potential gendered health and wellbeing inequalities impacts of these policies is a salient issue. Our research questions were as follows: (1) In the existing literature, what is known about the health and wellbeing impacts of SUDMs on women? (2) What mechanistic pathways are outlined in existing literature from SUDMs to gendered health outcomes? This review searched Medline, SCOPUS, Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Sciences Citation Index, and ASSIA. A broad range of outcomes was included in the search, from physical and mental health and wellbeing to health behaviors. We searched for empirical papers published in English before January 1st, 2024, without limiting the search by year or country of publication. Screening was performed on Rayyan with 15% of records double-screened. Critical appraisal was conducted using the AXIS tool for cross-sectional studies and CASP cohort checklist for longitudinal studies. Narrative synthesis was used to explore results in depth, with an effect-direction plot used to visually summarize findings. The initial search returned 1263 records. After duplicates were removed, 1194 records remained for screening. Of these, 301 were included for full-text screening, with 25 included for data extraction. Most of the included papers explored associations between SUDMs and women's physical activity. These relationships were typically positive, although some found no significant associations. Papers which explored the gendered mechanisms leading to outcomes tended to posit that having more convenient non-motorized access to a range of destinations on foot helped women to balance their paid and unpaid labor, leading to increased physical activity. Increased safety and reduced social isolation within SUDMs were also hypothesized as key contributing factors to women's increased physical activity. We found that there are research gaps in relation to mental health and long-term physical health outcomes.

从紧凑型城市到x分钟社区:可持续城市发展模式(SUDMs)对女性健康和福祉影响的系统回顾
在过去的50年里,可持续城市发展模式(SUDMs)已被引入世界各地的城市,其目的是限制环境空气污染,以及最近的温室气体排放。然而,这些干预措施对不同人口群体的健康和福祉影响尚不清楚。女权主义城市学家经常批评城市设计的等级和非参与性方法,因为它们可能对妇女和少数群体产生有害影响。随着“x分钟社区政策”在世界各地的城市规划中越来越受欢迎,收集有关这些政策潜在的性别健康和福祉不平等影响的证据是一个突出问题。我们的研究问题如下:(1)在现有的文献中,我们对SUDMs对女性健康和福祉的影响了解多少?(2)现有文献概述了从sudm到性别健康结果的哪些机制途径?本文检索了Medline、SCOPUS、Science Citation Index Expanded、Social Sciences Citation Index和ASSIA。这项研究涵盖了广泛的结果,从身心健康和幸福到健康行为。我们检索了在2024年1月1日之前以英文发表的实证论文,没有按出版年份或国家限制检索。对Rayyan进行筛选,15%的记录进行双重筛选。使用AXIS工具进行横断面研究,使用CASP队列检查表进行纵向研究。叙事综合用于深入探索结果,效果方向情节用于视觉上总结发现。初始搜索返回1263条记录。删除重复记录后,仍有1194条记录用于筛选。其中301篇纳入全文筛选,25篇纳入数据提取。大多数纳入的论文探讨了sudm和女性体育活动之间的联系。这些关系通常是积极的,尽管有些人没有发现显著的联系。探讨导致结果的性别机制的论文倾向于假设,有更方便的非机动交通工具步行到达一系列目的地,有助于女性平衡有偿和无偿劳动,从而增加体力活动。在sudm内增加的安全性和减少的社会隔离也被认为是妇女增加身体活动的关键因素。我们发现,在心理健康和长期身体健康结果方面存在研究空白。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Urban Health is the premier and authoritative source of rigorous analyses to advance the health and well-being of people in cities. The Journal provides a platform for interdisciplinary exploration of the evidence base for the broader determinants of health and health inequities needed to strengthen policies, programs, and governance for urban health. The Journal publishes original data, case studies, commentaries, book reviews, executive summaries of selected reports, and proceedings from important global meetings. It welcomes submissions presenting new analytic methods, including systems science approaches to urban problem solving. Finally, the Journal provides a forum linking scholars, practitioners, civil society, and policy makers from the multiple sectors that can influence the health of urban populations.
