In Detroit, Michigan, initiatives such as Opportunity Detroit and the West Vernor Corridor Neighborhood Framework are encouraging investment in deprived neighborhoods and show promise at reversing segregation in those areas .

ImportanceKnown social risk factors associated with poor visual and systemic health in the US include segregation, income inequality, and persistent poverty.ObjectiveTo investigate the association of vision difficulty, including blindness, in neighborhoods with measures of inequity (Theil H index, Gini index, and persistent poverty).Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cross-sectional study used data from the 2012-2016 American Community Survey and 2010 US census tracts as well as Theil H index, Gini index, and persistent poverty measures from PolicyMap. Data analysis was completed in July 2023.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe main outcome was the number of census tract residents reporting vision difficulty and blindness (VDB) and the association with the Theil H index, Gini index, or persistent poverty, assessed using logistic regression.ResultsIn total, 73 198 census tracts were analyzed. For every 0.1-unit increase in Theil H index and Gini index, there was an increased odds of VDB after controlling for census tract–level median age, the percentage of the population that identified as female sex, the percentage of the population that identified as a member of a racial or ethnic minority group, state, and population size (Theil H index: odds ratio [OR], 1.14 [95% CI, 1.14-1.14; P &lt; .001]; Gini index: OR, 1.15 [95% CI, 1.15-1.15; P &lt; .001]). Persistent poverty was associated with an increased odds of VDB after controlling for census tract–level median age, the percentage of the population that identified as female sex, the percentage of the population that identified as a member of a racial or ethnic minority group, state, and population size compared with nonpersistent poverty (OR, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.35-1.36; P &lt; .001).Conclusions and RelevanceIn this cross-sectional study, residential measures of inequity through segregation, income inequality, or persistent poverty were associated with a greater number of residents living with VDB. It is essential to understand and address how neighborhood characteristics can impact rates of VDB.

The ingredients of successful urbanism have been proposed by various scholars. However, their deployment has not always led to successful cities. Utopian visions are intended to help fill this gap. This article analyses Paolo Soleri's main US arcology-based vision: Arcosanti. To what extent does Arcosanti constitute a realizable utopia, when it is only partially built and its chief architect is no longer able to shape the vision's future implementation? It is argued that visionary urbanistic ideas put forward by intellectuals have influenced standard professional practice, pedagogy, and design and planning scholarship on the relationships between natural and built environments and more desirable human behaviours.

Towards Neighbourhoods as Minimum Units of Resilience?

COVID-19 restrictions have changed the perception of space: travel limitations and diffusion of remote activities have narrowed the spaces of everyday life, leading to a rediscovery of proximity. We are both witnessing a re-appropriation of the domestic environment and re-discovering the neighbourhood and those small portions of the city often neglected. This rediscovery is evident in the use of nearby public spaces and in transport, with the decongestion of many urban areas following the reduction of commuting. Even if this is a contingent situation, it is reasonable to think that part of these changes will persist at the end of the emergency. For these reasons, there is a need to focus on neighbourhoods’ quality, spatial organization and adaptive capacity towards both emergencies such as the pandemic and the great urban challenges towards resilience and sustainability. Essentially, sub-local scale must be rethought to meet not only the ordinary needs of its inhabitants but also health or other issues. In this sense, the potential of spatial units based in the concepts of proximity and walkability is explored, giving an interpretation that starting from the 15-min city and the superilla models explore the perspective of “minimum units of resilience” for facing pandemics.
