For both, worrying trends have lead to increasing concern, and it is imperative that these become core foci for urban policy. This will require concerted action; the journal Cities & Health is dedicated to supporting the flow of knowledge, in all directions, to help make this happen. We wish to foster communication between researchers, practitioners, policy-makers, communities, and decision-makers in cities. This is the purpose of the City Know-how section of the journal. We, and our knowledge partners, the International Society for Urban Health and Salus.Global invite you to join these conversations with the authors and communities directly, and also, we hope, by publishing in Cities & Health.","PeriodicalId":72596,"journal":{"name":"Cities & health","volume":"74 1","pages":"858 - 863"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74310211","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This demarcation would have been useful to continue throughout the chapter to indicate text most pertinent to each discipline, but instead the chapter proceeds to cover the data concepts more broadly (e.g., ‘Where and at What Level to Measure Urban Features’, ‘What to Measure’, ‘Secondary Spatial Data’). Future editions might consider some restructuring and guiding expectations for content depending on discipline. As a public health researcher who works with data on a daily basis, this reviewer enjoyed each of the chapters in Part III and their unique perspectives on major aspects of dealing with urban health data. The chapters cover managing and analyzing data, analytic strategies, and evidence synthesis, presenting key methods and principles useful for individuals conducting quantitative research. Chapter 10 addresses the systems approach, an overlooked method of integrating data and conceptualizing urban health. The one caveat to this section is that the topics covered are more pertinent to individuals who analyze data or regularly deal with data analysts and research findings, and are less suitable for practitioners who do not regularly deal with data. Part IV was this reviewer’s favorite section because it bridges a serious gap in most public health research to date. The chapters convince the reader of the importance and methods of involving community members at every stage of the research process, from idea development, to intervention/implementation, to data analysis, to evidence dissemination. Chapter 14 on Policy in Urban Health is accessible for students and professionals in non-health disciplines. Chapter 15 provides a starting point for effectively sharing findings outside of one’s discipline, in order to break down silos, translate research into practice, and have a positive impact on communities. In sum, Part IV offers new perspectives, motivation, and inspiration on ways to make urban health research count. Overall, the book is novel and covers the subject of urban public health in a way that will be appealing to newcomers to this field. It is particularly successful in describing ‘the problem’, providing key concept overviews with illustrative examples and references to outside resources, and outlining sample methods for making an impact by translating research findings to practice. Although some chapters are not as accessible to individuals outside of the public health discipline, the editors readily acknowledged that only certain chapters might be appealing for some readers, disciplines, or career stages. This reviewer could envision a future edition expanding Parts II and III to provide a more detailed handbook dedicated to data analysis of urban health data. Altogether, it is a solid and insightful first edition book.","PeriodicalId":72596,"journal":{"name":"Cities & health","volume":"106 1","pages":"895 - 897"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87611897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to meet these transactional and multidisciplinary challenges a paradigm shift from operating in silos is needed, to include a more interdisciplinary approach (top down as well as bottom up approaches). This paper reports top down and bottom up approaches that were used to address health and wellbeing in a middle-eastern multi-cultural city. In this retrospective roadmap, we highlight the key pillars that appear to have assisted in progress in achieving SDG3, Good Health and Well-being. The roadmap includes the development of the key pillars: 1) a common agenda, 2) shared measurement system, 3) mutually reinforcing activities, 4) continuous communication and 5) backbone support. Highlighting condition 4, continuous communication, of the model, we discuss the creation, use and importance of a “communication tool” used for Healthy Urban Planning. This tool developed cooperatively with relevant municipality departments, national government, and multidisciplinary community shareholders, led to organizational changes and the creation of the Sustainability Department of the municipality. This retrospective roadmap appears to reflect the collective impact framework appropriate for solving complex challenges such as achieving SDGs.","PeriodicalId":72596,"journal":{"name":"Cities & health","volume":"50 1","pages":"993 - 1003"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85456733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Individuals residing in social housing often face multiple, complex challenges that impact their health and wellbeing. Providing services and supports directly within social housing buildings has been one proposed solution, however our understanding of best practices in this area remains underdeveloped. We aim to address this gap by describing the pilot program and the impact to tenants. Lastly, we share important lessons learned for others aiming to engage in similar programs.","PeriodicalId":72596,"journal":{"name":"Cities & health","volume":"50 1","pages":"1034 - 1038"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88531899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is happening at a critical juncture in time when urban populations are rapidly increasing and might be partly driven by specifics of vulnerability of the urban poor in Low-income countries and High-income countries alike. Poor maternal and perinatal health outcomes are largely preventable but focusing solely on healthcare interventions misses critical opportunities to reduce ill-health. Social and environmental determinants such as poverty and the impact of climate change must be integrated into policy decisions, especially to benefit poor urban dwellers. Integrating data on the social determinants of health into policy decisions can help multisectoral stakeholders embrace a more Health-in-all-policy approach creating opportunities for better outcomes for these urban poor women and their offspring. We provide examples of two cities – Rotterdam and Kampala – to show that successful multi-sectoral approaches that can address urban maternal and perinatal inequalities should focus on interventions in which healthcare and non-healthcare determinants are integrated.","PeriodicalId":72596,"journal":{"name":"Cities & health","volume":"94 1","pages":"940 - 944"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83690353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adding to existing housing problems, long-term demographic changes, and failures in building maintenance as well as safety and housing design standards, the pandemic has exacerbated existing housing inequalities. Through 50 in-depth interviews with London residents conducted in early 2021, the paper studies how experiences of changing home uses and perception of the quality and design of domestic space affected the wellbeing of participants during the pandemic. The paper focuses on design-related housing aspects such as environmental comfort, the agency to make changes to a home, notions of privacy and security, and a lack of space. This reveals how changes in domestic use and future housing preferences might have a long-term impact on dwelling design. The wide-ranging lived experiences and subjective perceptions of the home call for a more inclusive approach to housing and social policies that consider the value of architectural design. Based on the findings and discussion, the paper concludes with housing design policy recommendations that should be taken into account to improve future housing quality and design.","PeriodicalId":72596,"journal":{"name":"Cities & health","volume":"1 1","pages":"615 - 627"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88815633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
