Travel and the travelogue as innovative research methodology: knowledge creation for advancing urban health and health equity in the 21st century

This editorial introduces the idea of travelogues as a new research methodology. The author begins by outlining the key features of a travelogue and how they can be put together as a research methodology, by drawing upon a rich history of documented travel dating back to antiquity, and upon the empirical nature of health and social science research. Next, the author guides readers through the steps involved in conducting a travelogue study from start to finish, illustrated with an example about cities and health to exemplify what it looks like in practice and what can be achieved. Since travel, travel writing, and ‘travel research methods’ are neglected and under-theorized in the literature, this editorial has important theoretical and practical implications.
