Architectural epidemiology focuses on aligning real estate investment with public health goals through a methodology that applies epidemiological tools to urban planning. The framework involves diagnosing places using health and climate data, addressing issues like asthma and chronic illness by evaluating local factors. This equity-centered approach emphasizes tailored strategies for development. Case studies from the South Bronx and East London illustrate how this innovative method helps mitigate environmental health concerns and fosters healthier communities. Architectural epidemiology aims to create synergy between public health and real estate, ensuring that urban planning contributes positively to community well-being.
Architectural epidemiology uses publicly available health and climate data to inform real estate development, creating a methodology that integrates public health concerns and climate risks.
By diagnosing neighborhoods like patients, the framework allows for customized development strategies that address urgent health and climate issues specific to each location.
