![]() ![]() While it is encouraged for actors from diverse backgrounds to contribute to a multidisciplinary field of study such as urban health, collaboration efforts sometimes result in tensions, conflicts, and competition. Each discipline, sector or trade has a role in the complex interplay between the urban built environment and its relationship to health and health equity impacts. The research and practice of urban health involves contributions from multiple disciplines, sectors, and trades that represent different aspects of urban health phenomena. ![]() Open Science Framework ( Peer Review reports Through this, urban health researchers and practitioners will be able to seek coherence in understanding, explaining, and exploring the urban health phenomenon. This review will assist researchers and practitioners in understanding and interpreting evidence produced by other traditions that study urban health. ![]() The meta-narrative review will reveal the how the different paradigms conceptualise, frame and prioritise urban health issues, their preferred methodologies to study the phenomenon, and the nature of the solutions to improve human health. The recommendation phase will include dissemination of the findings from the review. The synthesis phase will review the data to compare and contrast and identify the overarching meta-narratives. In the appraisal phase, the literature will be assessed by their respective quality standards, followed by data extraction to identify the individual narratives in the conceptual, theoretical, methodological, and instrumental dimensions of each paradigm. The mapping phase includes identifying the dominant paradigms and landmark publications through agreement with the review team. Bibliometric analyses of this literature will be used to triangulate the mapping of the paradigms. We will search multidisciplinary databases including Web of Science, Scopus and ProQuest, and topic-specific databases including Urban Studies Abstracts (EBSCO), MEDLINE, and EMBASE from their inception onwards. The search phase includes a comprehensive literature search in key databases and a double-sided systematic snowballing method. The planning phase includes the finalisation of the review protocol and assembly of review team. We apply the meta-narrative method to systematic literature review which includes the following six iterative phases. Articulating the paradigms not only contributes to the advancement of research, but also provides a framework for understanding the different policy beliefs and ideas policy actors hold and apply in the policy process. This meta-narrative review aims to identify and describe the multiple paradigms and articulate the underlying epistemological, ontological, methodological, and aetiological differences in their approaches. While it is encouraged for diverse disciplines to contribute to a multidisciplinary field of study such as urban health, this often results in tensions, conflicts or competition between the different traditions that stem from different epistemological backgrounds. Urban health is a field of research and practice that has attracted the interest of various disciplines. ![]()
