Inequitable urban development: a global health issue
The first discussion of the series aims to situate urban planning in the global health agenda, by addressing public health challenges originating from an increasingly urban, human habitat. Starting from the axiom that urbanisation processes are ubiquitous, and that disparate spatial development leads to disparate health outcomes, urban planning plays an important role in global health. In this regard, recent experiences in different parts of the African continent suggest innovative ways to address urban and public health challenges from both curative and preventive perspectives. To present and discuss these challenges and potential solutions, Global Health Africa invites Dr. Djesika Amendah and Dr. Thiago Hérick de Sá. Dr. Amendah will present her research on accessibility to modern health care in sub-Saharan cities, while Dr. Hérick de Sá will present a decision-making framework aimed at local governments that combine public health with urban design, based on the example of Accra (Ghana).
Convenors: Akuto Akpedze Konou EPEL, Vitor Pessoa Colombo, EPFL.
