U.S. brain drain as local distributive justice
Persistent Poverty and Natural Hazards in the U.S. South
Solving the U.S. Social Association Geographical Puzzle
Social associations are important forms of engagement to support community health and democratic governance. The geography of social associations in the United States presents a puzzling cluster of high-rate counties in the upper Midwest and counties with low rates in the Southwest. We reviewed various definitions of social associations and analyzed the statistical correlations between them and 11 health and behavioral outcome measures they might…
Evaluating Environmental Justice and Public Housing in a Data-Rich Era
We examined the spatial concentration of public housing, demographic indicators of low socioeconomic status, and environmental locally unwanted land uses (LULUs) in eight populous U.S. cities. Using the updated EJScreen database and its geographic information systems capabilities, we, as expected, found subsidized housing to be disproportionately colocated in areas with poor and underserved residents. Underground storage tanks and high traffic de…
Environmental and Social Justice Outcomes in U.S. Cities Hosting International Expositions
A World’s Fair or International Exhibition (Expo) is designed to offer the best face of its host city, with the effort expected to bring in millions of visitors to generate a local economic boom and international prestige. Given the effort and expense required to host an Expo, we should expect the near and long-term outcomes, at least for the neighborhoods where they occur, to be positive. But are they? This paper analyses demographic, environmen…
Is Opera Part of Leisure-Oriented Redevelopment in the Largest U.S. Cities? An Empirical Assessment of a Historical Cultural Innovation
Analysis of the 25 most populated cities in the United States shows that all have at least one opera house. Most are located in the city’s downtown, near City Hall, a convention center, high-end hotels, museums, and upscale dining and shopping opportunities. Most are surrounded by high-traffic-volume roads, providing easy access for visitors. Finding a massive opera house in an older city such as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles is unsurprising.…
Method
This article sets forth and illustrates a method to separate temporal changes in environmental and social justice indicators in local areas from influences at larger scales. It identifies differences that are not obvious without apportioning the results by layers. Rural Allendale County, South Carolina and the densely populated Bronx, New York are used as illustrations of temporal changes in five metrics: high school graduation rates, childhood p…
U.S. state capitol cities
This study compared public health and environmental justice indicators between the 50 U.S. state capitol cities and their host states, to similarly-sized cities in the same state, and 1-mile circular zones around the capitol complexes. Overall, capitol cities mirrored other cities of similar population sizes but were marked by more public health and environmental justice challenges, especially in the areas close to capitol domes where access to s…

Environmental and Social Justice on the Border of Five Major U.S. Cities
This study examines environmental and social justice metrics on the city and suburban borders of five major U.S. cities: Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and New York. The author expected a marked increase in measures of social injustice at the border but not for every environmental indicator. Using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)s EJSCREEN tool, 18 variables were extracted for 276 circular zones with a 1-mile radius (3…

Environmental Health and the U.S. Federal System
This book explains how the U.S. federal system manages environmental health issues, with a unique focus on risk management and human health outcomes. Building on a generic approach for understanding human health risk, this book shows how federalism has evolved in response to environmental health problems, political and ideological variations in Washington D.C, as well as in-state and local governments. It examines laws, rules and regulations, sho…

Brownfields Redevelopment, Preferences and Public Involvement
A survey was conducted with over 200 residents of a largely Hispanic census tract in the City of Perth Amboy, NJ, in order to identify their preferences for brownfield redevelopment and the extent to which residents want to participate in the redevelopment process. We found that residents preferred recreation, cultural and other community facilities, followed by new housing. They were less interested in industry and business. Three-quarters of re…
Hazardous Waste Sites
Mutual distrust defines the relationship between those who are the sources of hazardous wastes and those who oversee their activities. A lack of credibility, argue the authors, is a formidable, if not the biggest, obstacle to properly managing hazardous waste in the United States. Nowhere is the credibility gap wider than where there are hazardous waste management facilities or where sites have been proposed. The purpose of this book is to provid…
Where Does Walkability Matter the Most? An Environmental Justice Interpretation of New Jersey Data
Region of birth and mortality from circulatory diseases among black Americans
OBJECTIVES: This study examines the relationship between birth-place and mortality from circulatory diseases among American Blacks. METHODS: All Black deaths from circulatory diseases (International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision. codes 390 through 459) were extracted from the National Center for Health Statistics mortality detail files for 1979 through 1991. Age-specific and age-adjusted mortality rates with 95% confidence intervals we…

The Environmental Protection Agency’s Brownfields Pilot Program
Objective. We studied the diffusion of the US Environmental Protection Agency’s national brownfields pilot innovation to more than 300 local governments between 1993 through 2002 to determine why some local governments received grants very early in the process while other awardees received funding later. Methods. We did an ordinal regression analysis of the characteristics of all local government award recipients, and we conducted interviews with…
Toads go to New Jersey
Temporarily obsolete abandoned derelict sites (TOADS) are deserted commercial, industrial and housing properties and unbuilt sites that become toxic waste dumps, makeshift housing for the homeless and crack houses for drugs. TOADS and their associated problems often spread to adjacent neighbourhoods. Using a sample of 21 mid-sized cities in New Jersey, we show that communities with a poor real estate market, many poor, minority residents and a we…

Reestablishing Public Health and Land Use Planning to Protect Public Water Supplies
Objectives. This study measured the extent to which land use, design, and engineering practices could reduce contamination of major public water supplies. Methods. Key parcels of land were identified in New Jersey, and the potential uncontrolled loading of contaminants was estimated with the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Long-Term Hydrologic Impact Assessment model for a variety of land use, design, and engineering scenarios. Results. High…
Brownfields, Toads, and the Struggle for Neighborhood Redevelopment
A survey was made of all municipalities in the state of New Jersey ( N = 566) to determine how many had brownfields sites that caused property devaluation and land-use changes beyond the site boundaries. Most municipalities (80%, n = 450) replied; 10% indicated that brownfields sites caused neighborhood impacts, and 3% reported land-use and neighborhood impacts more than one-quarter mile from the site and multiple land-use changes as a result of …

The author discusses the shock that resulted from the Bronfman lecture given by Russell E. Train in 1970 in which Train discussed the Earth as a living organism and mentioned the dangers of fossil fuels. Train was the first chairman of the U.S. Council of Environmental Quality and the second administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The National Environmental Policy Act was passed several months after Train's speech
Understanding the Civic Activities of the Residents of Inner-City Neighborhoods
A survey of 102 residents of two inner-city areas in New Jersey that are stressed by crime, blight, and other serious problems measured residents' values and activities in support of their neighborhoods. Strong values were associated with older female respondents who had strong religious convictions and who did not trust science and experts. Multiple neighborhood actions were prevalent among older respondents who did not trust science and experts…
Region of birth and black diets
OBJECTIVES: This study compared dietary risk factors among Southern-born and other Blacks in Central Harlem. METHODS: A survey of residents of Central Harlem was used to compute a "healthy diet" score for 621 subjects. RESULTS: Southern-born respondents had the highest-risk diets. Although their numbers were small, Caribbean-born respondents, particularly those younger than 45 years, had the lowest-risk diets. CONCLUSIONS: The variation in diets …

Hazardous Waste Site Cleanup and Neighborhood Redevelopment
The United States' hazardous waste site remediation programs are being challenged for lacking cost‐effectiveness. We argue that these expensive programs will be more cost‐effective and viable politically if economic and social analyses are included explicitly in risk analyses. Using data from surveys of people living within one‐half‐mile of seven hazardous waste sites, we show that some neighborhoods offer the opportunity for joint site remediati…

Educational and Demographic Factors in the Urban Geography of Washington, D.C
Social patterns in the nations capital are explored through the factor analysis of a set of demographic data and a set of educational data for elementary schools. The demographic factors highlight racial division and ghetto expansion along the fringe of Rock Creek Park and indicate additional class polarization within the Negro population. These broad trends are counterpointed by the presence of blight of centers of higher education and of areas …
British Trade and the Opening of China 1800–42
An account of the activities of British merchants in China in the crucial years before the Treaty of Nanking (1842), which transformed the relations between the Celestial Empire and the Western 'barbarians' and placed them upon a footing that was to last for 100 years. Mr Greenberg shows how this change was brought about by the pressures of the expanding British economy of the early nineteenth century. Much of the material is based on the papers …

A Note on the Changing Geography of Cancer Mortality within Metropolitan Regions of the United States
An investigation made of the geography of cancer mortality rates within the most populous metropolitan regions of the United States and the New Jersey-New York-Philadelphia metropolitan corridor shows that during the early 1950s, as expected, central city counties had substantially higher cancer mortality rates, especially respiratory and digestive, than did suburbs. Two decades later, differences between the central cities and the suburbs had na…

Black Male Cancer and American Urban Health Policy
Black American males already have higher rates of cancer than other American populations, and these rates are steadily increasing. This article shows that the longstanding black male cancer problem is most meaningfully explained by a combination of factors that include racial discrimination, economic class, and culture —not by any one of the three. The author argues that an overwhelming majority of the limited resources for prevention of cancer a…
