Green Renter: Infrastructure and Environmental Health Risks in the South Bronx: A Review of the South Bronx Health and Policy Study With Dr. Carlos Restrepo, New York University

February 18, 2008
7:00 pmto8:30 pm

Drawing on the findings of a collaborative research project completed by New York University and the South Bronx community, this discussion will focus on waste management, traffic hotspots, highways, and zoning in the South Bronx and how the environmental health risks associated with them can impact sensitive populations such as asthmatic children attending schools located in close proximity to major highways. Understanding the spatial relationships between these environmental health risks and land use could be an important input to environmental policy in the South Bronx.
