“…The result found attests to the absence of the link between mortality connected to neurological pathologies and the presence of the SIN: the possibility of contracting diseases of the nervous system is not, therefore, associated with the proximity of the home to the SIN. The increase in real estate values in the micro-zone to which the SIN belongs is possibly correlated to other specific factors that make the urban area more attractive from a real estate point of view (Gunn et al, 2022).…”

IntroductionThe industrial activity constitutes one of the most driving sectors of a nation, as it is often considered at the center of public debate as the fulcrum of development policies. However, considering the climate impacts generated, many industries have necessarily changed, relocated, and/or interrupted their production. Due to the connection of industrial sites with the socio-economic, environmental, and health systems of cities, the real estate market dynamics can be differently affected by the presence of polluting industrial sites. With reference to the Italian context, the goal of the research is to, firstly, verify whether there is a functional relationship between the presence of polluting industrial sites and the residential real estate market dynamics, for then determining its type and the extent of purchase price affection.MethodThe proposed logical-evaluative model is based on the application of an econometric technique for investigating the significance of the industrial sites on the residential real estate dynamics through a set of technological, locational, and health variables.ResultsThe obtained results show that the total surface area of the polluting sites, the activity level and the industrial plant opening date are among the most relevant variables, instead the accessibility to the industrial site does not influence the real estate market dynamics.Discussion and practical implicationsThe main practical implication of the present research consists of the possibility to provide a support for the activation of strategies aimed at adopting sustainable development models in the industrial sector.

“…Meanwhile, due to inner city gentrification, public housing locations and affordable housing options in middle and outer areas, and the changing economic structure in Sydney where manufacturing jobs have moved to outer areas, low income and other socio-economically disadvantaged residents are moving to the same western areas. One would expect housing to be affordable in these locations due to high temperatures (Galinato and Tantihkarnchana, 2018) and neighborhood effects (Gunn et al, 2022). However, housing is increasingly unaffordable relative to income in these areas, particularly in those SA2s located toward the Sydney CBD due to scarcity of land, better access to employment, high-quality amenities, and services.…”

Climate change generates multiple negative impacts for cities, such as the urban heat island effect. Social stresses, including social disadvantage and housing unaffordability, compound the poor living conditions of urban residents and make our cities less resilient. This paper considers a climate event (urban heat) and social stresses (housing affordability and urban disadvantage) to explore urban resilience in Sydney. We draw on a framework for building urban climate resilience, incorporating facets of urban resilience, social stresses that amplify crises, and solutions that strengthen individuals and communities with coping abilities to withstand climate events. The study diverges from aggregate city-level analyses that hide small-area differences in climate impacts and vulnerability. The findings reveal the spatiality of these natural and social impacts, identifying 11 critical areas in Sydney impacted by the highest levels of urban heat and urban disadvantage, and two critical areas impacted by the highest levels of urban heat and housing unaffordability. We highlight the importance of context-based approaches and place-based policies to address climate risks and social vulnerabilities on the path toward creating more resilient cities.

“…If the purpose of the research is to investigate the prevalence or distribution of laws that may reduce inequity in PA outcomes or benefit priority populations, it may be useful to focus the mapping on characteristics of the built environment that are connected with these outcomes or compare the characteristics addressed in laws that apply to planning and development in selected zones (eg, inclusionary zoning that ensures the provision of social and affordable housing in high-amenity areas that are well served by public transport). 21,22…”

Background: The development of policies that promote and enable physical activity (PA) is a global health priority. Laws are an important policy instrument that can enable enduring beneficial outcomes for individuals, organizations, and environments through multiple mechanisms. This article presents a systematic process for mapping laws relevant to PA, which can be used to understand the role of laws as a powerful PA policy lever. Methods: Building on methods used in public health law research, we developed a protocol for scientific mapping of laws influencing the built environment for PA in Australia. The MonQcle online legal research platform was used for data coding, analysis, and presentation. Results: We describe the 10 key stages of legal mapping that we applied to examine state and territory laws that influence walking and cycling in Australia. Conclusions: Law is a neglected element of policy research for PA. There is a need for accessible legal data to drive the design, investment, and implementation of legal interventions to improve population PA. Legal mapping is a first step toward evaluation of such laws for PA. This paper provides a practical case study and guidance for the 10 stages in legal mapping of laws that influence the built environment for PA.
