“…7 Examples of such decisions include: the layout of street networks and cycling infrastructure (e.g., physical activity 1,8 , risk of traffic accidents 17 , pollution exposure 18 , perception of safety and belonging 19,20 ); the spatial distribution of grocery stores (e.g., access to healthy foods 21 ); the choice of construction materials and dwelling design (e.g., energy use, light, fresh air, etc. 19,22 ); and public building distribution (e.g., costs of accessing employment, goods and services, education, etc. 1,19 ).…”

While there is a wealth of literature on the impact of urban design on health, our understanding of the factors that influence integration of health into urban design is limited. With the growing recognition of cities playing a leading role in enhancing health equity and population health outcomes, there is a need to examine the perspectives and experiences of municipal actors around health and equity. To address this gap, we interviewed 30 stakeholders engaged with urban design policy- and decision-making at the City of Regina in Saskatchewan, Canada. We found a lack of shared understanding of health among municipal actors. Our findings identified a number of factors that serve as facilitators and barriers to integrating health and equity in urban design policies. Findings from this case study deepen our understanding of these factors and provide recommendations for developing healthy urban design policies. Our findings underscore the importance of adopting an integrated and holistic approach for healthy and equitable urban design. As urbanisation continues to bring a greater share of the world’s population into urban areas, it is imperative that we deepen our understanding of how municipal governance can be leveraged to create environments that are conducive to the wellbeing of their residents.

“…The emissions of nitrogen containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been observed during protein cooking in oil, 14 during cleaning [21][22][23] and from building materials (carpet and drywall). 24 Cleaning and cooking emissions are perhaps the most variable of direct sources indoors, as they depend on the type of activity and materials used. Emissions from cooking depend in part on the type of food, with meat cooking a known source of NH 3 thought to be derived from the breakdown of amino acids, 19 while sh cooking can emit amines.…”
