Description
Summary:The year 2022 represents a special moment to discuss the future of human life on planet Earth and to engage in a prevention policy to deal with health risks (related to any form of pandemic) and risks (associated with climate change). In France, cities – responsible for 67% of the production of greenhouse gases – are also identified as the privileged sites of the solution to the problem. Conducting a preventive urban policy in the area of health and opting for sobriety in lifestyles and consumption requires taking into account several parameters, including that of inequalities. It becomes then urgent to document the social and spatial dimensions of environmental inequalities, to rework the question of housing and to invent an urbanism of nature in the city. The dialogue between health geography, social geography, and urban geography aims to underline the relevance of the urban scale to specify the contours of a prevention policy in order to contribute to urban resilience, in parallel with the commitments of the State.
