Please join the Urban Health Collaborative for a talk on Greening, Equity and Health presented by Isabelle Anguelovski, PhD. Dr. Anguelovski's talk "Are green cities healthy and equitable? The challenges and trade-offs of greening cities for all," will examine the social and racial impact of building greener and healthier cities and discuss the extent to which the benefits of green interventions can be universal without reproducing or exacerbating existing socio-spatial and health inequities.
