结构性种族主义、COVID-19、气候变化和慢性病的交叉负面影响不成比例地影响了美国和世界各地的种族和少数民族。有色人种的城市人口集中在历史上划定红线，隔离，投资减少和边缘化的社区，住房质量不足，获得资源的机会有限，包括旨在支持自然生态系统和健康户外活动的优质绿地，同时减轻城市环境挑战，如空气污染，热岛效应，混合下水道溢流和水质差。因此，投资减少的城市环境通过物理和社会环境暴露加剧了健康不平等，导致许多健康结果的差异，包括COVID-19和癌症和心血管疾病等慢性疾病。在本文中，我们建立了一个现有的概念框架，并提出了另一个概念框架的作用，绿色空间在促进弹性和健康公平在美国和超越。我们认为，对受长期经济撤资影响的城市社区公共绿地进行战略投资，是适应和建立有色人种社区弹性的关键，由于气候变化、COVID-19和慢性病的地方性差异等直接健康威胁，这一点非常紧迫。我们认为，需要对公共城市绿地进行以公平为重点的投资，以减少社会不平等，通过劳动力计划的多样性扩大经济机会，建立有弹性的城市生态系统，并改善健康公平。我们建议的关键战略和考虑因素，以指导这项投资，利用强大的汇编科学文献沿着几十年的社区工作，使用战略伙伴关系，从多个努力在密尔沃基威斯康星州的成功例子。
The intersecting negative effects of structural racism, COVID-19, climate change, and chronic diseases disproportionately affect racial and ethnic minorities in the US and around the world. Urban populations of color are concentrated in historically redlined, segregated, disinvested, and marginalized neighborhoods with inadequate quality housing and limited access to resources, including quality greenspaces designed to support natural ecosystems and healthy outdoor activities while mitigating urban environmental challenges such as air pollution, heat island effects, combined sewer overflows and poor water quality. Disinvested urban environments thus contribute to health inequity via physical and social environmental exposures, resulting in disparities across numerous health outcomes, including COVID-19 and chronic diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). In this paper, we build off an existing conceptual framework and propose another conceptual framework for the role of greenspace in contributing to resilience and health equity in the US and beyond. We argue that strategic investments in public greenspaces in urban neighborhoods impacted by long term economic disinvestment are critically needed to adapt and build resilience in communities of color, with urgency due to immediate health threats of climate change, COVID-19, and endemic disparities in chronic diseases. We suggest that equity-focused investments in public urban greenspaces are needed to reduce social inequalities, expand economic opportunities with diversity in workforce initiatives, build resilient urban ecosystems, and improve health equity. We recommend key strategies and considerations to guide this investment, drawing upon a robust compilation of scientific literature along with decades of community-based work, using strategic partnerships from multiple efforts in Milwaukee Wisconsin as examples of success.
