I don't think the same concerns would exist in Australia.  The Australian Government has 45 "communities for children" many of which are in urban sites - modelled loosely on Sure Start.  State government sponsored community development initiatives in urban and rural settings are also common.  The importance of neighbourhood quality as a crime prevention strategy are well recognised (eg Pathways to Prevention report of 1999).  Not much of this would have appeared in peer-reviewed journals - but there are many policy reports available - you could google these initiatives for further information.

Hi, we are revising a paper on urban health that contains the following
sentence:

"Despite the notable successes of Healthy Cities in Europe, there is reason
to be concerned about the current state of urban health research and
policymaking in Canada and elsewhere."

The reviewer suggested that the situation in Canada seems accurate and
inquired as to whether there is concern in other nations.  Are there any
articles that suggest that the sentence we provided would be applicable to
Australia and/or New Zealand?

Thanks!
