Increasing urban populations have led to the growth of informal settlements, with contaminated environments linked poor human health through a range interlinked pathways. Here, we describe design and methods for Revitalising Informal Settlements their Environments (RISE) study, transdisciplinary randomised trial evaluating impacts an intervention upgrade settlements in two Asia-Pacific countries.RISE is cluster controlled among 12 Makassar, Indonesia, Suva, Fiji. Six each country been...
The intense interactions between people, animals and environmental systems in urban informal settlements compromise human health. Inadequate water sanitation services, compounded by exposure to flooding climate change risks, expose inhabitants contamination causing poor health wellbeing degrading ecosystems. However, the exact nature full scope of risks pathways environment are uncertain. Existing models limited microbiological linkages related faecal-oral exposures at individual level, do...
Abstract Non-Technical Summary Despite growing recognition of the importance transdisciplinary research in addressing complex sustainability challenges, practice it has been much hampered by persistent inequities, power disparities, and epistemological disconnect. Planetary health as an emerging field offers a unique lens highlighting need for knowledge integration across environment, health, development (EHD) nexus. Drawing upon extensive analyses, including meta-analysis existing...
Urbanisation is a major demographic trend globally. Urban informal settlements account for much urban growth, with nearly 1 billion people currently living in and 2 having inadequate water sanitation services.1UN-HabitatState of the world's cities.

Abstract In recent decades, transdisciplinary research has been increasingly recognised as necessary to produce solutions for sustainable development; however, implementation challenges remain. The emerging field of planetary health offers a unique lens guide new synthesis perspectives, recognising interlinkages between environmental and human health, interdependence across global development contexts, that is, at the environment‐health‐development nexus. This broad, practice‐based...
The COVID-19 pandemic represents a turning point in the way things are done, globally and across sectors. We reflect on approaches to informal settlements argue for turn from 'upgrading' 'revitalisation'. conceptualise revitalisation as encompassing three core tenets: planetary health, transdisciplinarity, people-centred approach. In our vision, would take big-picture view of that recognises inter-connectedness people nature within complex urban systems; integrates perspectives various...
Concerns regarding the impacts of climate change on marginalised communities in Global South have led to calls for affected be more active as agents process planning change. While value involving risk management is increasingly accepted, development appropriate tools support community engagement flood projects remains nascent. Using Revitalising Informal Settlements and their Environments Program a case study, article interrogates potential citizen science include disadvantaged urban...
The number, scale and ambition of transdisciplinary research initiatives between the global north south is increasing, yet there very little theoretical or empirical scholarship on how to lead manage implementation promote responsible practice. Within science, technology innovation (STI) studies decolonising frameworks, utilising collaborative autoethnography, this study codifies experience with implementing 'Revitalising Informal Settlements their Environments' (RISE) program (2017-2020)....
Integrative transdisciplinary approaches to watershed management are critical for addressing intersecting social, economic, and ecological processes that shape planetary health outcomes humans, animals, ecosystems. These challenges acute in watersheds like the Citarum River West Java, Indonesia, which suffers from severe pollution due inadequate waste infrastructure, is worsened by rapid urbanisation a changing climate, further degrades river ecosystem threatens lives livelihoods. Developing...
Deepening global inequalities in the health impacts of climate change highlight need for transformative solutions through international and transdisciplinary collaborations. While emerging field planetary provides a unique lens recognizing interlinkages across broader range knowledge systems, deeper understanding is needed about processes which such systems can be developed integrated. Existing transdisciplinarity scholarship offers useful concepts integration boundaries; however,...
Tension and conflict are endemic to any upgrading initiative (including basic infrastructure provision) requiring private land contributions, whether in the form of voluntary donations or compensated acquisitions. In informal urban contexts, practitioners must first identify well-suited for public infrastructure, both spatially with careful consideration safeguarding claimed rights preventing conflicts. At same time, they need defuse existing tensions over ownership use while negotiating...
