This study examines the impact of air pollution measured by PM₂.₅ exposure on medical expenditures for individuals aged 65 and above. By analyzing five waves of micro-level panel data from 2005 to 2018 using econometric methods including two-way fixed effects, Honoré's estimator, and the Heckman two-stage model, we find that higher PM₂.₅ exposure is significantly associated with increased medical expenditures among the elderly. Mechanism analysis using survival models shows that long-term pollution exposure reduces life expectancy, accelerating health capital depreciation in later life. Additionally, elevated PM₂.₅ concentrations increase the risk of respiratory and other diseases, further raising medical expenditures. The effects are particularly pronounced for women, high-income individuals, residents of developed regions, and those paying out-of-pocket, highlighting how environmental hazards exacerbate health inequalities. Overall, these findings provide compelling evidence that air pollution imposes a persistent, unequal, and age-sensitive health burden in China, underscoring the urgent need for coordinated policies that address both environmental protection and public health concerns.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48405,"journal":{"name":"Cities","volume":"169 ","pages":"Article 106543"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2025-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145269833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A core challenge, however, is the profound overlap between human actions and natural systems, which dissolves the conventional boundaries between natural and urban systems. We synthesize research on classic ecotones and propose a novel coupling index of social–ecological systems as a unified metric for identifying multiple transition types. Applied to a Chinese mountainous urban agglomeration, our framework successfully delineates urban-rural, agropastoral, and terrain transition zones. This study identifies a complex coupling ecosystem (CCE) at the grid scale, a critical transition area where socio-economic and natural systems intensely interact, covering 17.28 % of the study area. It is the transition zone from the basin-periphery mountainous area (The average elevation of the western mountainous region exceeds 3000 m, with the highest peak reaching 7500 m) to the plain area. It concentrates the drastic transitions of multiple elements, including topography, climate, economy, and land use. The CCE-type areas exhibit a profound spatial conjunction between ecological sensitivity and socio-economic vulnerability, evidenced by nine out of the 10 counties/districts with the most CCE-type areas in Sichuan Basin being previously considered poverty-stricken counties in China at the national level. With a relatively large population and scarce high-quality land resources, this area is the core region facing the trade-off dilemma between economic development and ecological conservation. These findings contribute to our understanding of the mutual feedback within mountainous urban agglomeration systems, thus supporting sustainable land management and government policies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48405,"journal":{"name":"Cities","volume":"169 ","pages":"Article 106560"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2025-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145270223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aerial cable cars (ACC) have emerged as an innovative transit solution to address these disparities. This study measures the effects of an ACC system on activity participation in a disadvantaged community in the Global South. Using cross-sectional data before and after, we compare the impact of TransMiCable ACC in Ciudad Bolívar with that in San Cristóbal, two neighbourhoods with similar sociodemographic and travel behaviour characteristics in Bogotá, Colombia. Activity participation levels of total, mandatory, flexible, and care activities were measured using an ordered logit model controlled by temporal, neighbourhood, individual, and household characteristics. The results indicate that ACC increased activity participation, which was influenced by the rise in flexible and care activities. Interestingly, females are less likely to participate in care activities in 2019, a trend found to be independent of the ACC's influence. Additionally, the built environment exhibited different scale effects considering the type of activity. For instance, mandatory activities, typically conducted outside the neighbourhood, are more influenced by destination accessibility, whereas flexible and care activities, mainly conducted inside, are more influenced by distance to bus stops, population density, and land use mix. These findings suggest that decision-makers should consider the differential effects of sociodemographic and built environment variables on activity participation to maximise the social benefits of new transit infrastructures.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48405,"journal":{"name":"Cities","volume":"169 ","pages":"Article 106568"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2025-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145269822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effect of climatic conditions, including mean temperature of the warmest quarter (°C; Tmean), and aridity on urban tree distributions was also evaluated. Our results revealed that tree abundance was positively correlated with population density and negatively correlated with the proportion of residents born overseas; tree species richness was also negatively related with Aridity. Tree abundance varied across climatic gradients, with lower abundance observed in areas with high Tmean. Species composition was strongly related to both socio-economic and climatic variables. Our findings highlight important relationships between the abundance, richness and species composition of urban trees and socio-economic and climatic characteristics of urban areas across Australia.

We test the validity of this assumption by examining the role of men’s and women’s social networks in the adoption of a novel water-saving technology, laser land leveling (LLL), in India. Using network data from men and women in the same household, we test the influence of being connected to an adopter on demand for LLL. We identify the causal gender-specific network effects using a field experiment that combines an auction with a lottery for the technology, making the presence of adopters in networks exogenous. The data reveal that men’s and women’s networks vary in size and show little overlap. We find that whereas household demand for LLL increases when men are linked to an LLL-adopting household, it decreases when the network linkages run through women. These gender-differentiated effects are concentrated in households where the woman’s opinion about the technology is valued by the man and in non-poor households. The results highlight that social learning may interact with the socio-demographic characteristics of households in myriad ways to influence household technology adoption decisions, and that agricultural-based information interventions ought to also consider how information gets used in the household.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48463,"journal":{"name":"World Development","volume":"197 ","pages":"Article 107182"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145270772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
