About this course
This course analyzes recent changes in major US and global cities that influence population health and health inequities. Using a case study approach, students examine how public health is addressing social and environmental influences on health in cities such as New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, London, Cape Town, Sao Paulo and Shanghai. Students use theories and conceptual frameworks from a variety of public health and social science disciplines to examine the causes and consequences of these changes and their implications for public health practice and social justice.
