Launched in 2017, the Salud Urbana en América Latina (SALURBAL) or Urban Health in Latin America Project brought together faculty, students, and staff at Drexel University's Dornsife School of Public Health and from partner institutions across the Americas.

SALURBAL team members from multiple disciplines study the ways urban environments and urban policies impact the health of city residents throughout Latin America. Project findings inform policies and interventions to create healthier, more equitable, and more sustainable cities worldwide.

SALURBAL's current project is SALURBAL-Climate, a five-year project that is addressing a critical need for evidence linking climate change to health impacts across Latin America. SALURBAL-Climate is funded by the Wellcome Trust’s Climate Research Partnerships initiative.

To learn more about SALURBAL’s first phase, from 2017-2023, see below. The information below serves as an archive.
