Healthy Cities and Environmental Justice
Associated group
Group Leader
Isabelle Anguelovski
The group’s research line focuses on the social determinants of healthy and just cities and on the health and social impacts of planning and creating greener, more sustainable, and resilient cities. Many of our studies examine environmental and health inequities resulting from urban planning decisions and interventions, as well as the community actions, policies, and planning decisions able to address such inequities. We also analyze how cities integrate health risks, impacts, and emergencies into urban planning and policy, the constraints they face to bring health, health equity, and health services at the center of policy agenda, planning decisions, and implementation, and the opportunities that exist to bring health at the center of urban planning and development. Last, the group examines the role played by risks or experiences of urban gentrification and displacement on mental and physical health outcomes. Particular attention is paid here to the role played by gentrification as a mediating factor between exposure to new green and sustainable urban environments and health outcomes.
