More specifically, a Partial Least Square (PLS) regression of 50 indicators, assessing the three pillars of sustainability, was conducted to explore the relationships among socioeconomic functions, urban form, and natural amenities in Athens, Barcelona, and Rome. The results reveal a consistent ‘form-function’ relationship across these Mediterranean cities, which reflects similarities in their landscapes and regional development paths. However, the analysis also highlights significant local variations, particularly in terms of economic polarization and social diversification, with more pronounced disparities observed in Athens, and decreasing in intensity from Rome to Barcelona. The study confirms that municipalities serve as an effective spatial unit for investigating these dynamics, outlining the role of demographic differences, economic specialization, and place-specific (non-economic) factors in shaping both social homogenization and diversification processes. These insights have important implications for spatial planning and policy-making, particularly in developing strategies that address local disparities while promoting balanced metropolitan growth and sustainable cities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48405,"journal":{"name":"Cities","volume":"162 ","pages":"Article 105933"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143739650","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}

Residents of manufactured housing – in both urban and rural settings – are more likely than those in other housing types to need medical attention due to heat exposure at home. This study thus examines the drivers of residential thermal disparities for manufactured housing residents across the US. We use data from the 2020 Residential Energy Consumption Survey and 2021 American Housing Survey to more holistically assess thermal disparities for manufactured housing residents than previous studies. We do this by examining four potential drivers of thermal disparities: air conditioning (AC) access, AC functional use, cooling costs and underlying physical housing deficiencies that hinder cooling. Through a combination of descriptive statistics and multivariate regression modelling, we identify a connected but ranging set of drivers. First, manufactured housing residents have less central AC access and a much higher likelihood of AC equipment breakdowns. Around 10% of manufactured housing AC units break down in a given year, more than twice the frequency in other housing types. Second, while results are mixed regarding differences in cooling costs per square foot, households in manufactured housing experience the highest cooling costs as a share of their annual income of all major housing types. Lastly, manufactured housing has a greater combination of inadequate insulation and other physical deficiencies than other housing types. We discuss the implications of these concerning findings for policy and future research.","PeriodicalId":51350,"journal":{"name":"Urban Studies","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143745155","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 results indicate that the Clean Heating Program had a significant positive impact on the physical and mental health of middle-aged and elderly rural residents. Improvements in environmental quality and reductions in labor intensity were key factors in this process. Further heterogeneity analyses revealed the differential effects of the Clean Heating Program on health improvements across different age groups, gender groups, medical care levels, and terrain conditions. Specifically, the Clean Heating Program positively affected the physical health of elderly rural residents and the mental health of middle-aged rural residents.

Previous research has identified groups of buildings in need of energy efficiency upgrades and areas most suitable for heat networks. However, a deeper understanding of how potential interventions may impact different sociodemographic groups is imperative to ensuring a just energy transition. This paper uses clustering techniques and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to addresses this gap in the literature. The framework proposed can be applied to cities worldwide to analyse the varying relationships between domestic energy consumption, housing, and sociodemographic attributes at sub-city level, visualise how current decarbonization plans cut across different citizen-groups, and identify gaps and opportunities for all stakeholders. Using Glasgow City as a case study, application of the proposed framework reveals that high levels of social deprivation (prevalent in Glasgow) act as a barrier to energy consumption, while poor energy efficiency - common in buildings owned by the city's more affluent residents - is associated with high energy consumption. Spatial comparison to existing decarbonization plans highlights several groups of citizens that may benefit or lose out under existing plans, providing useful insight to policy makers, and validating the benefits of this novel approach. A clear strategy is needed to enable low-income citizens in their transition to net zero and encourage the most affluent citizens to take measures to improve energy efficiency in their homes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48384,"journal":{"name":"Energy Research & Social Science","volume":"123 ","pages":"Article 104042"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143734661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
