Health Evaluation of the Neighborhoods Law Phase 2 (HENL2)

城市更新（也称为再生或振兴）不仅仅是修复 建筑环境的物理和美学组成部分，也解决了一些 社会问题和改善人类住区，同时促进可持续性。然而，在这方面， 城市更新计划往往不考虑健康因素， 被指控通过促进社会和自然环境恶化， 排斥或中产阶级化，促进对汽车的更大依赖，所有这些都与 健康状况不佳。很少有城市更新计划积极针对健康和 促进健康公平，虽然这一领域的研究正在兴起，但数据方面的障碍 收集和分析使得研究一些长期影响变得困难。 这些关于健康的计划。 社区法第二阶段健康评估的总体目标 （HENL 2）研究的目的是：研究邻里法的长期影响， 在西班牙巴塞罗那，关于居民健康和健康不平等的更新计划; 将这些结果与以前的短期影响进行比较;并将研究结果转化为 干预和政策建议，以减少卫生不平等。的 邻里法（NL）是欧洲最大的城市更新计划之一， 2004年实施。从2004年到2011年，73个社区中有15个参与了这项活动， 受项目影响的160万人口中约有10%。 这项拟议的研究将使用来自巴塞罗那健康中心的重复横断面数据。 调查营养标签对居民健康和健康不平等的影响 生活在干预地区和那些在非干预比较社区。 这些研究的结果将有助于提供关于长期 城市更新计划的影响，这将有助于突出公众的重要性， 在规划、实施和评估这些方案时考虑到健康因素。 此外，像纽约和芝加哥这样的城市对巴塞罗那特别感兴趣， 街道的“变革性改造”，处于城市变革的前沿， 在美国（US）和全球范围内进行建模。因此， 其中一些项目对居民健康和福祉的影响是一个 是美国城市成功实施的重要组成部分。

Urban renewal (also referred to as regeneration or revitalization) go beyond the repair of physical and aesthetic components of the built environment to also address some of the social problems and improve human habitat while promoting sustainability. However, urban renewal programs tend to exclude health considerations and have even been accused of worsening social and physical environments by contributing to social exclusion or gentrification and promoting a greater dependence on cars, all associated with poor health conditions. Few urban renewal programs actively target health and promote health equity and while research in this area is emerging, barriers in data collection and analysis have made it difficult to study some of the long-term effects of these programs on health. The overarching goal of the Health Evaluation of the Neighborhoods Law Phase 2 (HENL2) study is: to examine the long-term effects of the Neighborhoods Law, an urban renewal program in Barcelona, Spain, on the health and health inequities of residents; compare these outcomes to previous short-term effects; and translate research findings into intervention and policy recommendations to reduce health inequities. The Neighborhoods Law (NL), one of the largest urban renewal programs in Europe, was implemented in 2004. From 2004 to 2011, 15 of 73 neighborhoods participated resulting in approximately 10% of the 1.6 million population being affected by the projects. The proposed study will use repeated cross-sectional data from the Barcelona Health Survey to examine the effects of the NL on health and health inequalities of residents living in areas intervened and those in non-intervened comparison neighborhoods. Findings from these studies will contribute to the limited evidence available on long-term effects of urban renewal programs that would help highlight the importance of public health considerations in the planning, implementation and evaluation of such programs. Furthermore, Barcelona is of special interest to cities like New York and Chicago for its `transformative remaking' of streets and is at the forefront of urban changes that are then modeled both in the United States (US) and globally. Therefore, an understanding of the impact of some of these programs on the health and wellbeing of residents is an important component of successful implementation in US cities.
