“…Il est possible aussi de combiner cette approche polycentrique à l'approche locale de Folch et Rey (2016) : l'indice RCE est appliqué aux unités spatiales situées à une distance inférieure à d de leur plus proche nuisance environnementale. Cet indice de centralisation environnementale polycentrique avec contrainte spatiale, noté EC d , a été proposé par Schaeffer et Tivadar (2019) :…”

“…Elles tiennent aussi à la complexité des processus étudiés -en termes d'échelles, de temporalités, d'interactions et de compensations avec d'autres processus (Oakes, 2004, Fischer, 2006 -qui rendent toutes interprétations causales délicates. Malgré l'ancienneté de cette problématique, celle-ci fait toujours l'objet de débats et de propositions méthodologiques (Mitchell et Walker, 2007 ;Boyce et al, 2016 ;Schaeffer et Tivadar, 2019).…”

“…Ainsi, l'objectif du chapitre est double : (i) comparer deux approches originales pour mesurer ces inégalités environnementales d'exposition aux risques, et (ii) fournir des éléments de réponses -à défaut d'une réponse définitive -à la question posée plus haut pour la métropole d'Aix-Marseille-Provence. La première approche empirique considérée est celle suggérée récemment par Schaeffer et Tivadar (2019). Elle s'inspire de la littérature sur la mesure de la ségrégation socio-spatiale et repose sur le calcul d'un indice de centralisation environnementale.…”

“…Beyond diagnosis, few environmental justice studies propose a prioritisation method that incorporates equity criteria in urban greening investments. In a recent exception, Schaeffer and Tivadar (2019) propose two spatial indices to measure environmental inequalities in the French city of Grenoble, considering income and vegetation cover 4 . As a public policy criterion, they propose targeting the areas where increasing vegetation cover would have the largest influence on environmental inequalities.…”

Urban green spaces provide cultural ecosystem services, and urban policies typically aim to enhance these services by targeting new investments in deprived areas. The implementation of urban greening policies is one way to reduce inequalities in well-being, for example by targeting areas where increased access to green spaces will benefit citizens of low socioeconomic status. Most research has addressed the targeting of green infrastructure development by considering income and access to green spaces, while few studies have considered a multidimensional definition of well-being. The aims of this paper are to i) integrate inputs from the economic and political philosophy literature to propose a broader definition of well-being, including health, education, insecurity, and social relations; ii) develop a criterion to prioritise areas where urban greening would have the greatest impact on well-being inequalities; and iii) apply this criterion to the Paris metropolitan area (Ile-de-France region), a spatially heterogeneous region where areas deprived of access to green spaces are not systematically deprived in other dimensions. Our analysis shows that the city of Paris and the inner suburbs would be targeted when considering inequality in access to green spaces only. The results differ when inequalities in income or multidimensional well-being are taken into account, in which case the northern inner suburbs and some outer suburbs become a higher priority.

Poverty is a major determinant for pollution exposure, according to the US location choice literature. In this paper, we assess the impact of socio-economic status on location choices in the European context. Our analysis relies on an original dataset of 1194 households living in polluted and non-polluted areas in three European countries: Spain, Portugal and France. We use instrumental variables strategies to identify the socioeconomic causes of location choices. We show that low education, wealth and income are main reasons for living in polluted areas. We provide several robustness checks testing for the exogeneity of selected instruments. We observe that unobserved heterogeneity tends to understate the impact of socioeconomic status on residence location. Interestingly, we highlight that an important proportion of intermediate social groups (especially young couples) are living in polluted areas, probably because of place attachment and affordable housing facilities. Similarly, we show that middle-income households have lower move-out intentions than other income groups. These latter results contrast the linear vision of environmental inequalities found in the US.
