“…Previous studies have examined the impacts on health of other types of urban regeneration projects: urban regeneration programs in deprived Dutch districts [31,35] and in Northern Ireland [36]; urban regeneration implying neighborhood demolition and relocation [32]; the regeneration of a port area in a deteriorated region of the Bay of Pasaia—Spain [33]; a vacant lot greening program in Philadelphia U.S. [37]; and the regeneration of a street in the historical centre of Seville—Spain [34]. Results are mixed, with some projects showing positive relationships to health outcomes [31,37]; some reporting little or no benefits [35,36], and others finding inconsistent results [32,33,34]. However, to our knowledge, this is the first study assessing health and health-related economic impacts of an urban riverside park regeneration project.…”

“…Such co-benefits may play an important role in reducing the disease burden associated with aspects of urban living such as air pollution, noise, and lack of natural spaces where people can engage in health-promoting physical activities, sedentary behavior, obesity, poor mental health, and other non-communicable chronic diseases [27,28,29,30]. The regeneration of under-used, inadequately designed, or decayed urban spaces (including natural outdoor environments located in urban areas) is now a relatively common phenomenon globally, but not many studies have estimated the impacts of existing interventions in terms of health and well-being [31,32,33,34,35,36,37].…”

The promotion of physical activity through better urban design is one pathway by which health and well-being improvements can be achieved. This study aimed to quantify health and health-related economic impacts associated with physical activity in an urban riverside park regeneration project in Barcelona, Spain. We used data from Barcelona local authorities and meta-analysis assessing physical activity and health outcomes to develop and apply the “Blue Active Tool”. We estimated park user health impacts in terms of all-cause mortality, morbidity (ischemic heart disease; ischemic stroke; type 2 diabetes; cancers of the colon and breast; and dementia), disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and health-related economic impacts. We estimated that 5753 adult users visited the riverside park daily and performed different types of physical activity (walking for leisure or to/from work, cycling, and running). Related to the physical activity conducted on the riverside park, we estimated an annual reduction of 7.3 deaths (95% CI: 5.4; 10.2), and 6.2 cases of diseases (95% CI: 2.0; 11.6). This corresponds to 11.9 DALYs (95% CI: 3.4; 20.5) and an annual health-economic impact of 23.4 million euros (95% CI: 17.2 million; 32.8 million). The urban regeneration intervention of this riverside park provides health and health-related economic benefits to the population using the infrastructure.

“…The lack of information and transparency in project management was another source of mistrust. These deficiencies are common in young democracies with little experience of public participation in decision-making, as described in other urban regeneration HIAs in Spain [ 22 , 23 ]. In our case, disseminating information relating to the projects during the HIA process contributed to improving the public’s perception of transparency.…”

BackgroundAn important health issue in urban areas is how changes arising from the regeneration of city-areas affect social determinants of health and equity. This paper examines the impacts attributable to a new fish market and to delays in the regeneration of a port area in a deteriorated region of the Bay of Pasaia (Spain). Potential differential impacts on local residents and socially vulnerable groups were evaluated to determine health inequalities.MethodsAn in-depth, prospective and concurrent Health-Impact-Assessment (HIA) focused on equity was conducted by the regional Public Health Department, following the Merseyside guidelines. Data from different sources was triangulated and impacts were identified using qualitative and quantitative methods.ResultsThe intervention area is characterised by poor social, environmental, and health indicators. The distinctness of the two projects generates contrasting health and inequality impacts: generally positive for the new fish market and negative for the port area. The former creates recreational spaces and improves urban quality and social cohesion. By contrast, inaction and stagnation of the project in the port area perpetuates deterioration, a lack of safety, and poor health, as well as increased social frustration.ConclusionsIn addition to assessing the health impacts of both projects this HIA promoted intersectoral partnerships, boosted a holistic and positive view of health and incorporated health and equity into the political discourse. Community-level participatory action enabled public health institutions to respond to new urban planning challenges and responsibilities in a more democratic manner.

“…Para conseguir los retos mencionados se está impulsando en los últimos años la evaluación del impacto sobre la salud, mecanismo para considerar los efectos sobre la salud de la población de las políticas no sanitarias (Vela-Ríos et al, 2016; Moya-Ruano, Candau-Bejarano, Rodríguez-Rasero, Ruiz-Fernández y Vela-Ríos, 2017), de gran interés por su aplicabilidad en la planificación e intervenciones urbanas (Venegas-Sánchez et al, 2013;Serrano et al, 2014).…”

Se realiza un análisis sobre los campos de estudio y las aplicaciones en la planificación territorial y urbana de la Geografía de la Salud, rama de la Geografía que analiza cómo las variables socioeconómicas, ambientales y urbanísticas afectan a la salud de la población a distintas escalas. La Geografía de la Salud puede ayudar a detectar ciertas causas de las desigualdades de salud de la población en el territorio y es útil para planificar entornos saludables y para establecer medidas adecuadas de prevención y atención sanitaria. La relevancia científica global de los estudios de Geografía de la Salud es cada vez mayor y se están dando una serie de condiciones para que destaque como una rama muy relevante de la Geografía aplicada
