“Urbanization, Poverty and Health in Developing Countries”, May 17-18, 2007
As part of its continuous multidisciplinary efforts and activities related to urban health research, the CRPH held its first annual workshop on “Urbanization, Poverty and Health in Developing Countries”. The purpose of the workshop, held with support from the Wellcome Trust, was to advance the regional knowledge base and to offer an “academic” space for sharing experiences between the region’s researchers working in the field of urban health and urban poverty.
Participants were researchers from Lebanon, Egypt, Iran, the Sudan, Syria, Turkey, Yemen, and the US and focused on questions such as: how the process of urbanization has affected the health of populations living in urban areas; how urban living and poverty affects the health of individuals and communities; whether the regional trend is pointing to an urban penalty or more to an urban advantage, and what the health conditions of the urban poor are in this region of the world?
The workshop was divided into six sessions: Urban Health – an Overview, Urban Poverty and Health Inequities, Social Capital and Urban Health, Environmental Challenges in Urban Settings, Mental Health in Urban Areas: Research and Intervention, Wrap up and Future Steps.
