“…These four pathways were categorized into two groups. The first comprises physical transformations, which involve housing mobility in poor neighborhoods (Owens and Clampet-Lundquist, 2017) health-related socioeconomic inequalities (Prasad et al ., 2018), social–spatial inequalities and gentrification (Hochstenbach and Musterd, 2018), creation of a built environment free of any natural disparities (Kraff et al ., 2020) and spatial manifestations (Poku-Boansi et al ., 2020); healthy communities, which involve health inequalities (Prasad et al ., 2018), health consciousness (Cysek-Pawlak and Pabich, 2020), healthy living (Horney et al ., 2020), human health (Wang et al ., 2020), public health (Iravani and Rao, 2020), health improvement (Swann et al ., 2021) and health equity (Williams et al ., 2022).…”

“…Moreover, communities can improve public health by facilitating good connectivity, cohesion, mobility and access to services. A shared vision for social and environmental justice and the evaluation of the impact of programs and policies can advance health equity through an intersectional approach and co-designing approaches, according to Williams et al . (2022).…”

PurposeSustainable development (SD) is vital in alleviating poverty, hunger and disease (PHD). The purpose of this study is to present a guiding framework with pathways targeting the sustainability challenges concerning PHD based on urban planning and design literature.Design/methodology/approachA narrative review and content analysis of 27 articles published by 11 journals indexed in Scopus were conducted using bibliometrics analysis.FindingsThe study’s findings discuss contemporary normative planning and design ideas and their ability to alleviate PHD. Considering these findings, the authors recommend that urban planning and design implementation processes carefully pursue the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Vision 2030 by tracking qualitative metrics that consider social, cultural and spiritual well-being.Originality/valueThe contribution is to propose a conceptual framework for alleviating hunger, poverty and disease through Vision 2030. Practitioners and policymakers can use this framework to assess the impact of their actions. Hunger, poverty and disease research could be guided by this framework to identify and prioritize best practices in cities of the Global South.

“…For instance, Williams et al ( 2023) not only argued that an intersectional lens should be applied in urban planning for health equity, but also outlined four strategies for accomplishing this: challenging assumptions, fostering cross-sectoral collaboration, co-designing strategies, and looking to established tools and resources. 62 Also, in a case study of a Norwegian city, Oldeide et al 63 identified siloing as one of the biggest hurdles to successfully managing youth drug prevention. Siloing often created confusion regarding the jurisdictional ownership of drug prevention mandates, resulting in uncertainty over which departments are and are not responsible for addressing youth drug prevention.…”

While there is a wealth of literature on the impact of urban design on health, our understanding of the factors that influence integration of health into urban design is limited. With the growing recognition of cities playing a leading role in enhancing health equity and population health outcomes, there is a need to examine the perspectives and experiences of municipal actors around health and equity. To address this gap, we interviewed 30 stakeholders engaged with urban design policy- and decision-making at the City of Regina in Saskatchewan, Canada. We found a lack of shared understanding of health among municipal actors. Our findings identified a number of factors that serve as facilitators and barriers to integrating health and equity in urban design policies. Findings from this case study deepen our understanding of these factors and provide recommendations for developing healthy urban design policies. Our findings underscore the importance of adopting an integrated and holistic approach for healthy and equitable urban design. As urbanisation continues to bring a greater share of the world’s population into urban areas, it is imperative that we deepen our understanding of how municipal governance can be leveraged to create environments that are conducive to the wellbeing of their residents.

“…In conversations among the Task Force members as well as the workshop and conference focal event, one of the most essential consensus points is the need for transformative pedagogy and practice that centers equity and advocacy (see, for example, Anguelovski et al 2020; Fitzgerald 2022; Goh 2021; Williams et al 2022). Class discussions around environmental justice are a start, but beyond this, teaching also needs to center climate and environmental justice, engage with the affective/emotional dimensions of planning responses, and work with frontline communities and practitioners to help students move from theory to practice.…”

The profession of planning must act now to become an integral player addressing the existential crisis of climate change. This Commentary builds on the findings of the 2020–2021 Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning’s Presidential Climate Action Task Force, which assessed opportunities to enhance the academy’s climate leadership in research, teaching, and operations. We argue that our field must integrate climate research and education into all subfields, refocus on decarbonization, build a pipeline of diverse students involved in climate action, and develop the language and skills to grapple with planning for climate change.
