Center for Urban Health

Welcome to the IUPUI Center for Urban Health

Urban health, grounded in long-term sustainability, depends on healthy, productive communities that address environmental injustices by:

  1. Identifying pollutants and contaminants in our neighborhoods and around our home environments and learning how to minimize the potential risks they pose,
  2. Promoting safe, equitable, and just access to fresh produce grown in uncontaminated soil,
  3. Ensuring abundant access to naturalized green spaces, and
  4. Expanding urban walkability and energy efficient transportation.
