Working group: Roberta Cucca

Aim of the project is to analyze some social and institutional mechanisms promoting health inequalities in Lombardy, at urban level. In particular the project focuses on two distinct and integrated dimensions:
1) the position that different social groups hold within the social stratification, which affects their access to resources and services;

2) the geographic concentration of specific determinants, which can disadvantage the social groups more exposed to pathogens and pollutants.

The research is carried out through different research methods: analysis of databases, case studies, policies analysis  and a comparison with some international case studies. The result expected is the identification of some guidelines to promote a better integration of  several policies affecting different dimensions of health  inequality (health policies, social policies, policies for sustainability, urban planning policies)
