Rethinking urban utopianism: The fallacy of social mix in the 15-minute city

Casarin, Giada (author), MacLeavy, Julie (author), Manley, D.J. (author)

The concept of urban living is evolving, and there is a growing interest in creating smaller, more connected, and hyperlocal neighbourhoods, where everything people need is within a 15-minute walk or bike ride. This paper challenges the concept of the ‘15-minute city’ as a panacea for urban ills, by exploring the history of utopian urban...

Neighbourhood effects on educational attainment. What matters more: Exposure to poverty or exposure to affluence?

Troost, A.A. (author), van Ham, M. (author), Manley, D.J. (author)

Neighbourhood effects studies typically investigate the negative effects on individual outcomes of living in areas with concentrated poverty. The literature rarely pays attention to the potential beneficial effects of living in areas with concentrated affluence. This poverty paradigm might hinder our understanding of spatial context effects....

Where Do Neighborhood Effects End? Moving to Multiscale Spatial Contextual Effects

Petrović, A. (author), van Ham, M. (author), Manley, D.J. (author)

There is no theoretical reason to assume that neighborhood effects operate at a constant single spatial scale across multiple urban settings or over different periods of time. Despite this, many studies use large, single-scale, predefined spatial units as proxies for neighborhoods. Recently, the use of bespoke neighborhoods has challenged the...

Analysing the socio-economic impacts of COVID-19: a new regional geography or pandemic enhanced inequalities?

Cross, Katie (author), Evans, Jamie (author), MacLeavy, Julie (author), Manley, D.J. (author)

In the UK the socio-economic impacts of the COVID-19 mitigations over the course of the pandemic (March 2020 to the time of writing in January 2022) have been experienced unevenly and with differential intensities at both the regional and local scales. Using individual-level geocoded data (from the Understanding Society: UK Household...

Multiscale Contextual Poverty in the Netherlands: Within and Between‑Municipality Inequality

Petrović, A. (author), Manley, D.J. (author), van Ham, M. (author)

Contextual poverty refers to high proportions of people with a low income in a certain (residential) space, and it can affect individual socioeconomic outcomes as well as decisions to move into or out of the neighbourhood. Contextual poverty is a multiscale phenomenon: Poverty levels at the regional scale reflect regional economic development,...

Ageing and cohort trajectories in mental ill-health: An exploration using multilevel models

Prior, Lucy (author), Jones, Kelvyn (author), Manley, D.J. (author)

Analyses of health over time must consider the potential impacts of ageing as well as any effects relating to cohort differences. The British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) and Understanding Society longitudinal studies are employed to assess trends in mental ill-health over a 26-year period. This analysis uses cross-classified multilevel...

Inherited and Spatial Disadvantages: A Longitudinal Study of Early Adult Neighborhood Careers of Siblings

Manley, D.J. (author), van Ham, M. (author), Hedman, L.K. (author)

Understanding how inequalities are transmitted through generations and restrict upward spatial mobility has long been a concern of geographic research. Previous research has identified that the neighborhood in which someone grows up is highly predictive of the type of neighborhood he or she will live in as an independent adult. What remains...

Changing occupational structures and residential segregation in New York, London and Tokyo

van Ham, M. (author), Uesugi, M. (author), Tammaru, T. (author), Manley, D.J. (author), Janssen, H.J. (author)

Based on data from the 1980s, Sassen’s influential book ‘The Global City’ interrogated how changes in the occupational structure affect socio-economic residential segregation in global cities. Here, using data for New York City, London and Tokyo, we reframe and answer this question for recent decades. Our analysis shows an increase in the share...

Does segregation reduce socio-spatial mobility?: Evidence from four European countries with different inequality and segregation contexts

Nieuwenhuis, J.G. (author), Tammaru, T. (author), van Ham, M. (author), Hedman, L.K. (author), Manley, D.J. (author)

The neighbourhood in which people live reflects their social class and preferences, so studying socio-spatial mobility between neighbourhood types gives insight into the openness of spatial class structures of societies and into the ability of people to leave disadvantaged neighbourhoods. In this paper we study the extent to which people move...

Biosocial health geography: New ‘exposomic’ geographies of health and place

Prior, Lucy (author), Manley, D.J. (author), Sabel, Clive E. (author)

Investigating biologically plausible mechanisms for the embodiment of context is a key thoroughfare for progressing health geographies of place. Expanding knowledge of bio-processes such as epigenetics is providing a platform for appreciating the dynamic embedding of social relations in bodies over the lifecourse, and so to tracing the...

Using sibling data to explore the impact of neighbourhood histories and childhood family context on income from work

Hedman, L.K. (author), Manley, D.J. (author), van Ham, M. (author)

Previous research has reported evidence of intergenerational transmissions of neighbourhood status and social and economic outcomes later in life. Research also shows neighbourhood effects on adult incomes of both childhood and adult neighbourhood experiences. However, these estimates of neighbourhood effects may be biased because confounding...

Freedom from the tyranny of neighbourhood: Rethinking sociospatial context effects

Petrović, A. (author), Manley, D.J. (author), van Ham, M. (author)

Theory behind neighbourhood effects suggests that people’s spatial context potentially affects individual outcomes across multiple scales and geographies. We argue that neighbourhood effects research needs to break away from the ‘tyranny’ of neighbourhood and consider alternative ways to measure the wider sociospatial context of people, placing...

Stressed out? An investigation of whether allostatic load mediates associations between neighbourhood deprivation and health

Prior, Lucy (author), Manley, D.J. (author), Jones, Kelvyn (author)

Deprived neighbourhoods have long been associated with poorer health outcomes. However, many quantitative studies have not evidenced the mechanisms through which place ‘gets under the skin’ to influence health. The increasing prevalence of biosocial data provides new opportunities to explore these mechanisms and incorporate them into models...

Trajectories of ethnic neighbourhood change:: Spatial patterns of increasing ethnic diversity

Zwiers, M.D. (author), van Ham, M. (author), Manley, D.J. (author)

Western cities are increasingly ethnically diverse, and in most cities, the share of the population belonging to an ethnic minority is growing. Studies analysing changing ethnic geographies often limit their analysis to changes in ethnic concentrations in neighbourhoods between 2 points in time. Such a temporally limited approach limits our...

Context or composition: How does neighbourhood deprivation impact upon adolescent smoking behaviour?

Morris, T. (author), Manley, D.J. (author), van Ham, M. (author)

Neighbourhood effects studies have demonstrated an association between area deprivation and smoking behaviour whereby people living in deprived neighbourhoods are more likely to smoke than those in non-deprived neighbourhoods. This evidence though is based largely upon data that ignores long term exposures to neighbourhood contexts and is...

Modelling residential segregation as unevenness and clustering: A multilevel modelling approach incorporating spatial dependence and tackling the MAUP

Jones, Kelvyn (author), Manley, D.J. (author), Johnston, Ron (author), Owen, D. (author)

Traditional studies of residential segregation use a descriptive index approach with predefined spatial units to report the degree of neighbourhood differentiation. We develop a model-based approach which explicitly includes spatial effects at multiple scales, recognising the complexity of the urban environment while simultaneously...

Multiscale Measures of Population: Within- and between-City Variation in Exposure to the Sociospatial Context

Petrović, A. (author), van Ham, M. (author), Manley, D.J. (author)

Appreciating spatial scale is crucial for our understanding of the sociospatial context. Multiscale measures of population have been developed in the segregation and neighborhood effects literatures, which have acknowledged the role of a variety of spatial contexts for individual outcomes and intergroup contacts. Although existing studies...

Brexit in Sunderland: The production of difference and division in the UK referendum on European Union membership

Bromley-Davenport, Harry (author), MacLeavy, Julie (author), Manley, D.J. (author)

There is a growing narrative that the outcome of the UK referendum on European Union membership was the product of disenfranchisement and disillusionment wrought by the uneven consequences of economic restructuring in different UK regions, cities and communities. Those most likely to vote ‘leave’ were concentrated among those ‘left behind’ by...

Decomposing Multi‐Level Ethnic Segregation in Auckland, New Zealand, 2001–2013: Segregation Intensity for Multiple Groups at Multiple Scales

Manley, D.J. (author), Johnston, Ron (author), Jones, Kelvyn (author)

There has been a growing appreciation that the processes generating urban residential segregation operate at multiple scales, stimulating innovations into the measurement of their outcomes. This paper applies a multi‐level modelling approach to that issue to the situation in Auckland, where multiple migration streams from both Pacific Island and...
