“…To avoid calculation errors caused by using a single threshold, this study sets three time thresholds, 5 min, 10 min, and 15 min. Referring to the survey results regarding the walking speed of the elderly [56][57][58][59], the walking distance thresholds are set at 300 m, 600 m, and 900 m for the elderly population, while for the general population, they are set at 500 m, 1000 m, and 1500 m.…”

“…According to statistical data from Nanjing, the approximate walking speed of elderly individuals was 3.5 km per hour [58]. Willberg found the walking speed of elderly individuals was 4.26 km/h through on-site measurements and data statistics [59]. These studies provide more accurate accessibility thresholds to better describe the limited mobility of the elderly.…”

Ensuring the spatial equity of health service facilities (HSFs) is crucial for the well-being of residents. However, previous research has predominantly focused on the accessibility and equity of single-type facilities, neglecting the residents’ demand for diversified types of health services. This study proposes a multi-type, Gaussian-based, two-step floating catchment area method (MT-G2SFCA) to assess the comprehensive accessibility and equity of multi-type HSFs in different age groups in the Hedong District of Tianjin, with the Gini coefficient and the bivariate local Moran’s I. Furthermore, the key factors affecting the accessibility were explored through a geo-detector. The results indicate the following: (1) Neglecting the health benefits of facility type diversity can result in an underestimation of the accessibility and equity; (2) neglecting the differences in walking ability of the elderly can result in an overestimation of the accessibility and equity; and (3) the Pedestrian Route Directness is the key factor affecting the accessibility and equity in high-density urban areas, and especially that the facility density is the key factor for the elderly. This research emphasizes the impact of facility type diversity on the accessibility and equity of HSFs, which can offer more precise and holistic technical assistance and policy recommendations for optimizing the allocation of HSFs.

“…The guiding focus within the first group has boiled down to the question for whom short travel distances are available. Perspectives to this question have included explorations of socio-economic and spatial disparities in walking and cycling access (Calafiore et al, 2022;Elldér et al, 2018;Rosas-Satizábal et al, 2020;Smith et al, 2020;Willberg et al, 2023) and their effects on gentrification and housing prices (Yang et al, 2018), and travel frequencies (Lucas et al, 2018). From another angle, accessibility studies have examined patterns of car dependency by identifying areas in which car is the only viable transport option (Carroll et al, 2021;J.…”

Our societies are wrestling with the problem of how to provide a good life for all without overconsuming environmental resources. Consequently, the search for approaches that simultaneously inspect the environmental and social goals of sustainability have become increasingly popular in many disciplines. In transport research, accessibility is a key tool to characterize linkages between people, transport, and land use. In the current paper, we propose a conceptual framework for measuring just accessibility within planetary boundaries. We first carry out a review of transport studies and discover a substantial body of literature on accessibility and social disadvantage, much vaster compared to the body of literature around environmental and ecological impacts of accessibility. We also show a gap in approaches that have integrated these two perspectives. Building on the review, we move forward by suggesting a conceptual framework for incorporating environmental and social sustainability goals in accessibility research. We conclude the paper by pointing to some key challenges and research avenues related to the framework, including (i) dealing with uncertainty and complexity in socio-ecological thresholds, (ii) developing ways to measure accessibility through other metrics than travel time, and (iii) integrating both quantitative and qualitative data.

“…There is something of a consensus in these debates – and this is where the question of value is most visible – around the potential of ‘compact cities’ to enable environmentally, socially, and economically ‘sustainable’ and ‘innovative’ cities (Kjærås, 2021). These accounts are often accompanied by an ‘anti-sprawl’ position, more recently focussing on the ‘15-minute city’ or the ‘walkable city’, which has become more prominent following the COVID-19 pandemic (Calafiore et al, 2022; Pozoukidou and Chatziyiannaki, 2021; Wainwright, 2023; Willberg et al, 2023).…”

Density as a politics of value: Regulation, speculation, and popular urbanism

Density is at the centre of urban change, and is often politicised. Building on Geographical and Urban scholarship, we set out a critical approach to understanding density through a focus on value. Following a review of key approaches to density, we show that while value is often at stake in efforts to manage, change, defend, or promote densities of different kinds, it has rarely been the explicit focus of critical research on density. We address this by outlining how density propositions entail a politics of value through three inter-related urban domains: speculation, regulation, and the popular, followed by consequences for future research.
