Our researcher Margarita Triguero-Mas has delved into interdisciplinary research aiming to build healthy and equitable cities in 2018. Following her previous work on the EU-funded project PHENOTYPE that explores the mechanisms that explain the association between natural outdoor environments (NOE) and health, she has co-authored several publications this year.
- “Development of the natural environment scoring tool (NEST)” to evaluate natural outdoor environments in different European contexts (article)
- “Active commuting through natural environments is associated with better mental health: Results from the PHENOTYPE project” showing the associations between daily commuting through NOE, active commuting, and better mental health (article)
- “Do green neighbourhoods promote urban health justice?” a reflection on how the research on natural outdoor environments and health should move forward to incorporate environmental justice (article)
- “Effect of public transport strikes on air pollution levels in Barcelona (Spain)” on the associations between public transport strikes and air pollution (article)
Currently, Margarita is immersed in the ERC-funded project GREENLULUS while working on expanding all her work in 2018, which includes 1) environmental exposure assessment, 2) natural outdoor environments and health (partly with her participation in a project funded by the Swedish Research Council for Health Working Life and Welfare, in the Rooftop Gardens project for the Ajuntament de Barcelona and in the BlueHealth project 3) air pollution and health in part thanks to her participation in a RecerCaixa project, 4) climate-related health outcomes, and 5) green gentrification and health. She collaborates closely with all BCNUEJ lab members, particularly with Dr. Helen Cole, while also being associated to ISGlobal research.
