Pushed to the edges? Electivity patterns of urban stream homeless encampments in environmentally burdened areas
Urban stream corridors in the San Francisco Bay Area have increasingly become locations for homeless encampments, yet little is known about the environmental conditions of these spaces. This study uses a geospatial electivity index to examine whether urban stream encampments in Santa Clara and Contra Costa counties are disproportionately located in census tracts with high pollution burdens, as measured by CalEnviroScreen 4.0. Findings show a stat…
Quantifying highway expansion impact on urban heat island effect in San Francisco bay area
The expansion of urban highways fundamentally affects the environment, yet there has been little research on how much highway creation and expansion can impact local climate and Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. This study adopts a novel statistical approach using thermal remote sensing Land Surface Temperature (LST) and metrology data to quantify the environmental impacts of highway expansion on the UHI effect in the San Francisco Bay Area (SFBA),…
Harnessing the opportunities and understanding the limits of state level climate action plans in the United States
Mission, Vision, and Capacity of Place-Based Safety Net Hospitals
This article sheds light on the scope and magnitude of community and economic impacts of urban safety net hospitals. It presents a framework for assessing these contributions, and utilizes the proposed framework to analyze the case of MetroHealth System in Cleveland, Ohio. We found that through its 3-faceted functions of clinical care, academics, and research, the hospital employs a large number of workers, purchases substantial amounts of goods …
