Explored how to ensure that government infrastructure investments improve health equity

How can government investments in stormwater infrastructure, transportation, and parks be structured to improve health equity? Through a Stanton Fellowship, Prevention Institute’s Deputy Executive Director Manal J. Aboelata researched past and present public health victories to learn about practices that can produce fair, just, and inclusive infrastructure investments. She traveled to Medellín, Colombia, to learn how that city has transformed itself through public health investments, and what we in the United States can learn from its example. * This work was supported by the Durfee Foundation.
