RESEARCH

Study group will address links between health and the geographic context of cities

A new study group will analyze the health inequities and their relation to the geographical context of cities. The proposal of its creation was approved by the IEA's Board in a meeting held on August 16. The group Urban Space and Health will be coordinated by geographer Ligia Vizeu Barrozo, a professor at the Department of Geography of USP's Faculty of Philosophy, Languages and Literature, and Human Sciences (FFLCH). According to the research project, the power of maps will be used to identify and highlight health inequities mainly related to socio-economic conditions and urban morphology.
