“…Capacity strengthening activities included a series of training workshops, knowledge exchange events and a small grants fund, through which SHLC sought to create a strong and durable network of urban researchers specialised in neighbourhood analysis of rapidly urbanising cities. These activities were intended to support and complement the Centre's core research, which involves a comparative study of urbanisation and differentiation of neighbourhoods in 14 different cities in both emerging economies and relatively poor countries in Africa and Asia (Ahmad et al 2021).…”

This book is the result of a collective effort. It is a tribute to the remarkable impact which Lalage Bown had on so many people from different areas of adult education research, policy and practice across the globe that everyone we approached agreed -without hesitation -to contribute. As editors, we sincerely appreciate their hard work, from which we have learnt so much. We know there are many others who would like to have been involved and apologise to them that it is only due to space limitations that we could not include more authors.We are grateful for support provided by the Centre for Research and Development in Adult and Lifelong Learning and the School of Education at the University of Glasgow towards publication of the book; also, the invaluable assistance provided by Dr Lucia Vazquez Mendoza, Post-doctoral Researcher at the Higher Education Research Centre (HERC) Institute of Education, Dublin City University. In addition, we acknowledge the helpful comments and suggestions made by the anonymous reviewers.We are particularly indebted to Professor Paolo Federighi and Professor Vanna Boffo, Florence University, and Florence University Press (FUP) in accepting the book for inclusion in the book series, Studies on Adult Learning and Education.The book involves thirty-seven authors who, at the time of writing, were based in fourteen countries from the global south and north: Africa

“…However, many urban planning and design researchers and practitioners have started assessing the impact of PHD on cities of the Global North (Horney et al, 2020;Vandecasteele and Fasang, 2020) and South (Asaad et al, 2023;Jonah and May 2020;Madhavan et al, 2021). While most studies explore PHD by investigating how cities may address these threats to their well-being by increasing economic output (Ahmad, 2020) and productivity (Monkkonen et al, 2020). Some work has focused on intensifying cultural production in underserved communities and the informal economy that confront Global South challenges (Soliman and Soliman, 2022;Wang, ogilvie and Richardson, 2021).…”

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.

“…There are many studies concerned with combating poverty, which have been conducted by international institutions [7][8][9][10][11] and scientific researchers [12][13][14][15][16]. However, these studies only look at the economic rates and dimensions (shown by numbers and Buildings 2023, 13, 1328 2 of 33 percentages) related to hunger and food insecurity.…”

This study argues that Vision 2030 and social housing should consider the elements of the sociocultural dimension of urban design (SDUD) to alleviate urban poverty-induced feelings. By examining public spaces in the context of Vision 2030 and the implementation of social housing projects, this study aims to provide a theoretical framework that may assist city policymakers in rethinking the role of public spaces in alleviating poverty-related feelings. A review of the relevant literature explores the SDUD elements and builds an index to measure poverty through bibliometric and content analysis. This index was used to analyze the gaps in Vision 2030 in South Africa, Kenya, and Egypt, which we randomly chose. It focused on SDUD elements, social housing, and public spaces. We empirically examined the role of public spaces in alleviating poverty-related feelings using the SDUD index. We applied episodic narrative and interview-based storytelling techniques to a limited group of poor residents in the Al Asmarat Housing Project in Mokattam, Cairo, Egypt. This interview discusses the role of public spaces in reducing poverty-related feelings. The results focus on exploring the four SDUD elements of poverty and examining how public spaces alleviate poverty-induced feelings. Vision 2030 revolves around SDUD elements, social housing, and public spaces. Urban design policies can alleviate poverty in development projects for the poor. Integrating urban design policies into Vision 2030 makes city dwellers in developing countries feel less inferior.
