“…Residents also perceive this. A study of lay perceptions of health-impairing factors in poor neighbourhoods in Melbourne, Australia, showed that those living on high-rise estates were more likely than those living in low-rise areas to identify place-based factors as damaging their health and well-being, mostly concerning being unable to avoid the habits and incivilities of others in close, proximal, shared spaces and feeling unsafe (Warr et al, 2007).…”

‘Living the High Life’? Residential, Social and Psychosocial Outcomes for High-Rise Occupants in a Deprived Context

The current period is one of ambiguity and contestation over the future of high-rise. A range of analyses is performed on survey data from deprived areas in Glasgow to examine the impacts of living in high-rise in comparison to other dwelling types. The findings show that many residential outcomes are worse for people in high-rise, especially related to noise and security issues in dwellings and buildings. Social and psychosocial outcomes are often worse in high-rise, particularly frequency of contact with neighbours and a number of aspects of control and recuperation at home. Further analysis shows that neighbourhood satisfaction and some social outcomes are better (or ameliorated) for people living higher up in tall buildings. There were different patterns of impacts for different household types. Contrary to much of the literature, the study found that negative impacts of high-rise were most wide ranging among adult-only households rather than families, with older persons least affected by negative social outcomes in high-rise.

“…In Day's (2008) qualitative study of older Scottish people, respondents reported that large blocks of flats discouraged social interaction, linking this to poorer mental and physical health. Other qualitative studies have found that aspects of the built environment such as high-rise dwellings, visual amenity, access to green space and spaces which permit social interaction are identified by respondents as impacting on well-being, quality of life, and in some cases by extension, mental health (Cattell et al, 2008;Day, 2008;O'Campo et al, 2008;Thomson et al, 2003;Warr et al, 2007).…”

Understanding the Psychosocial Impacts of Housing Type: Qualitative Evidence from a Housing and Regeneration Intervention

The association between poor housing and poor health is widely accepted, but there is a lack of evidence on the health impact of housing interventions. In particular, evidence on mechanisms linking housing interventions to health is lacking. Scotland's Housing and Regeneration Project (SHARP) evaluated the health impacts of new-build social housing using a quasiexperimental survey design. Qualitative interviews were also conducted with a sub-sample of survey respondents. The qualitative data indicated that changes in dwelling type influenced key psychosocial processes such as control, with consequent impacts on well-being. This study provided insights into the psychosocial impacts of housing design, whilst also demonstrating the utility of qualitative methods for enhancing understanding of the mechanisms linking housing change with improved well-being.

“…More than half (18) of these mixed-methods studies were primarily epidemiologic studies that included a qualitative component. In four studies the only source of qualitative data came from openended (qualitative) questions on primarily closed-ended (quantitative) questionnaires (Doria et al 2006;Elliott et al 1999;Moffatt et al 1995;Warr et al 2007). More often, qualitative data from questionnaires was supplemented with data from observations and in-depth interviews.…”

“…Although not referred to as an analytic framework per se, the theory of neighborhoods affecting health was explored in seven articles (Bowie et al 2005;Israel et al 2006;Michael et al 2006;Schaefer-McDaniel 2007;Songsore and McGranahan 1998;Timmermans 2007;Warr et al 2007). Other theoretical perspectives referred to in the analyses include ecological theory (Salazar et al 2004;Schaefer-McDaniel 2007) and social constructionism (Moffatt and PlessMulloli 2003;Shriver 2001;Shriver et al 1998).…”

Most of these articles, and nine addi-tional articles with a focus on neighborhood effects on health generally, were published since 2000 (Bolam et al 2006;Bowie et al 2005;Butchart et al 2000;Day 2008;Israel et al 2006;Popay et al 2003;Schaefer-McDaniel 2007;Timmermans 2007;Warr et al 2007).…”
