Abstract

Background: Over the past decade, various studies have shown that the disease burden and health inequalities in urban areas are strongly influenced by structural factors such as poverty, housing quality, and the built environment, rather than individual behaviour alone. The integration of public health, community development, housing policy, and urban planning has become increasingly important to address neighbourhood distress and promote healthier and more equitable cities. Aims: This study aims to systematically analyse international literature that examines the relationships between community development, housing environments, and health-oriented urban planning, and to map their contributions to the five levels of prevention in public health (primordial, primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary). Methods: This study employs a systematic literature review approach of articles discussing the integration of public health, community development, housing, and urban policy in urban contexts, namely Morello-Frosch (2014), Gómez (2018), Thorpe (2018), and Santamouris (2025). Results: The findings show that interventions in housing environments and community development play a major role in primordial and primary prevention by improving basic environmental conditions, reducing risk factors, and supporting healthy behaviours. Interventions in public housing and community programmes also contribute to secondary and tertiary prevention by facilitating early detection, improving chronic disease management, and enhancing residents’ quality of life. Conclusion: The integration of community development, housing policy, and health-sensitive urban planning represents an effective multilevel prevention strategy to improve urban public health. The findings emphasise that housing and spatial planning policies should be positioned as core instruments, rather than complementary elements, in healthy city strategies, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia.

Abstract

This study presents a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) investigating the lived experiences of women from vulnerable groups in securing access to housing within the ideological contours of neoliberal capitalism. The inquiry delves into the layers of exclusion, precarity, and structural silencing that frame their trajectories. The study identifies five intersecting identities among vulnerable women: (1) single women; (2) single mothers; (3) survivors of gender-based violence; (4) elderly women; and (5) migrant women laborers. Through a rigorous database search guided by predetermined selection criteria, fifteen scholarly articles were selected for review. These were organized into the five categories, each containing two to four studies. The analysis focused on thematic resonance and dissonance across the studies within each group, culminating in a synthesis that foregrounds recurring mechanisms of injustice. Discrimination, economic constraint, legal uncertainty, insufficient policy response, and the inertia of patriarchal cultural norms constitute the recurring barriers. Yet, these are not isolated misfortunes; they are symptomatic of a housing system engineered to serve capital rather than care. The review argues that redressing gendered inequity in housing demands more than reform; it requires a structural rupture (Berry, 2018). Berry’s metaphor challenges us to move beyond the docility of the “automated bee,” urging a moral and imaginative leap toward becoming “architects” of a just society. In this vision, housing is not merely shelter, but a terrain of political struggle, a space where feminist futures must be built not as inevitabilities, but as acts of design and defiance.
