Towards Sustainable Urban Spatial Structure: Does Decentralization Reduce Commuting Times?

“…There are three reasons for aggregating the data to the block-group level. First, at the very local level, a common neighborhood geography is thought to be a block group [42]. Second, because the two-mile radius is short relative to the average commute distance, there are a significant amount of locations that have no resident workers at the block level, which makes the calculation of the local access invalid.…”

Brief Report: Characterizing the Burden of Cardiometabolic Disease among Public Housing Residents Served by an Urban Hospital System

“…Public housing (PH) residents are a vulnerable population who often live in high poverty and high crime areas with limited access to health-promoting resources. 1,2 Researchers have documented the higher prevalence of adverse health outcomes and hospitalizations among public housing residents compared with the general population [3][4][5][6] but few have examined risk factors for cardiometabolic (CMD) disease, such as smoking, hypertension, and prediabetes. 7,8 Furthermore, the reports that have examined the risk of CMD among public housing residents have typically relied on selfreported data with small samples and heterogeneous comparison groups.…”
