“…A possible approach to overcome these issues and increase HRQoL of city residents is communal living. This type of living environment is expected to improve the housing crisis and at the same time help people in need, such as disabled older aged persons [ 47 ].…”

Perceived built environment, health-related quality of life and health care utilization

Previous research has shown that the built environment plays a crucial role for health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and health care utilization. But, there is limited evidence on the independence of this association from lifestyle and social environment. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to investigate these associations, independent of the social environment, physical activity and body mass index (BMI). We used data from the third follow-up of the Swiss study on Air Pollution and Lung and Heart diseases In Adults (SAPALDIA), a population based cohort with associated biobank. Covariate adjusted multiple quantile and polytomous logistic regressions were performed to test associations of variables describing the perceived built environment with HRQoL and health care utilization. Higher HRQoL and less health care utilization were associated with less reported transportation noise annoyance. Higher HRQoL was also associated with greater satisfaction with the living environment and more perceived access to greenspaces. These results were independent of the social environment (living alone and social engagement) and lifestyle (physical activity level and BMI). This study provides further evidence that the built environment should be designed to integrate living and green spaces but separate living and traffic spaces in order to improve health and wellbeing and potentially save health care costs.

“…Our proposal is an answer to the needs to include care work, highlight intersectional social inequities, and environmental injustices in the healthy cities’ movement that the direct and indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have illustrated. The scientific evidence that results from the inclusion of this new approach into urban public health research, together with political will, organising efforts, and economic investment could change city and public space imaginaries and agendas 47 towards cities that are healthy, equitable, caring, just, ecofeminist and sustainable for current and future generations of humans, animals and the ecosystem.…”

Healthy cities after COVID-19 pandemic: the just ecofeminist healthy cities approach

The COVID-19 pandemic crisis has compromised the ‘healthy cities’ vision, as it has unveiled the need to give more prominence to caring tasks while addressing intersectional social inequities and environmental injustices. However, much-needed transdisciplinary approaches to study and address post-COVID-19 healthy cities challenges and agendas have been scarce so far. To address this gap, we propose a ‘just ecofeminist healthy cities’ research approach, which would be informed by the caring city, environmental justice, just ecofeminist sustainability and the healthy cities paradigms and research fields. Our proposed approach aims to achieve the highest standards of human health possible for the whole population—yet putting the health of socially underprivileged residents in the centre—through preserving and/or improving the existing physical, social and political environment. Importantly, the proposed approach recognises all spheres of daily life (productive, reproductive, personal and political) and their connections with inequities, justice and power dynamics. Last, the just ecofeminist healthy cities approach understands human health as interconnected with the health of non-human animals and the ecosystem. We illustrate the proposed new approach focusing on the implications for women’s health and public green spaces research and propose principles and practices for its operationalisation.

“…In human geography, commoning is most often used in urban studies and political ecology, to describe the creation of postcapitalist commons, diverse initiatives that involve community-owned and -managed goods and services that 'rebuild the fabric of communities destroyed by years of neoliberal assault on the most basic means of our reproduction' (Federici 2019, 1). Black and feminist approaches to the commons tend to focus on disrupted forms of social reproduction (Morrow and Parker 2020), paying 'particular attention to the everyday practices, social relations and spaces of creativity and social reproduction where people come, share and act together' (Clement et al 2019, 1). Federici's work on commoning provides a global analysis of the isolating of women and minority groups from political power as a central strategy in dispossession from other resources.…”

“…Federici (2019) also charts counter-struggles around the world that create new forms of social organisation, often where women challenge state and intimate violence alongside collectivisation. For example, in a recent paper, Morrow and Parker (2020) highlight safe spaces from sexual and racist violence created by Black, queer and immigrant women's commoning.…”

Collective trauma? Isolating and commoning gender-based violence

This paper considers the tensions between individual and collective experiences, responses and framings in gender-based violence (GBV). I explore three concepts that aid understanding of GBV -isolating, collective trauma and commoning -and question their utility in understanding trauma and the process of survival. The arguments are evidenced with survivors' testimony from a participatory action research project on experiences of trauma from GBV. First, the isolating of survivors, taking multiple forms, is not just 'how it is' , but a condition created and exploited by perpetrators and buttressed by social perceptions and practices to reduce access to sources of support. Second, I consider whether GBV might be thought of as collective trauma, a concept from Black and postcolonial literatures to describe structural traumas that are communal in nature. I explore the collective aspects of experiencing, surviving and rebuilding from GBV, and resonances and discontinuities with this notion of collective trauma. Third, commoning emphasises mutual aid in resistance to violence, and better reflects diverse experiences of GBV. It offers an alternative promise of collective care in an era of shrinking and neoliberalising service provision, illuminating existing practices by which GBV survivors and feminist organisations work to make and remake survival.
