  • Historical redlining, locally unwanted land uses, and neighborhood mental health

    Open AccessLiang Chen, Maria Manta Conroy et al.ARTICLEUrban Studies2026

    Historical redlining in the 1930s is widely used as a benchmark to measure the enduring effects of housing discrimination on today’s patterns of racial segregation and health disparities. Residents of historically redlined neighborhoods are more likely to experience depression, anxiety, and other adverse mental health outcomes. Prior research also shows that historically redlined neighborhoods disproportionately host environmentally burdensome lo…

  • Measuring gentrification

    Bruce C Mitchell, Liang Chen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Urban Affairs2026Referencias: 10

    Gentrification is a central yet contested topic in urban studies, especially in debates concerning displacement and racial equity. Varied definitions and methods have resulted in inconsistent empirical findings. This study evaluates five widely cited quantitative methods for identifying gentrification at the census tract level in Washington, DC. Using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, we assess the construct validity of each…

  • Historical redlining and contemporary home mortgage lending

    Open AccessLiang Chen, Bruce C Mitchell et al.ARTICLECities2025Citada por: 1Referencias: 4

    The persistent homeownership gap between minority and non-Hispanic White households in the United States is driven in part by enduring systemic mortgage lending inequalities. Historical discriminatory policies like redlining perpetuated racial disparities in housing by limiting credit access, fostering neighborhood disinvestment, and diminishing opportunities for wealth accumulation in minority neighborhoods. Despite this, the relationship betwee…

  • The legacy of structural racism

    Open AccessEmily E Lynch, Lorraine Halinka Malcoe et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2021

    Structural racism, which is embedded in past and present operations of the U.S. housing market, is a fundamental cause of racial health inequities. We conducted an ecologic study to 1) examine historic redlining in relation to current neighborhood lending discrimination and three key indicators of societal health (mental health, physical health, and infant mortality rate (IMR)) and 2) investigate sustained lending disinvestment as a determinant o…

  • Social Inequities in Urban Heat and Greenspace

    Open AccessBruce C Mitchell, J Chakraborty et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    Climate change and rapid urbanization currently pose major challenges for equitable development in megacities of the Global South, such as Delhi, India. This study considers how urban social inequities are distributed in terms of burdens and benefits by quantifying exposure through an urban heat risk index (UHRI), and proximity to greenspace through the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), at the ward level in Delhi. Landsat derived rem…

  • Landscapes of thermal inequity

    Open AccessBruce C Mitchell, J ChakrabortyARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2015

    Heat waves are the most significant cause of mortality in the US compared to other natural hazards. Prior studies have found increased heat exposure for individuals of lower socioeconomic status in several US cities, but few comparative analyses of the social distribution of urban heat have been conducted. To address this gap, our paper examines and compares the environmental justice consequences of urban heat risk in the three largest US cities:…

  • Urban Heat and Climate Justice

    Open AccessBruce C Mitchell, J ChakrabortyARTICLEGeographical Review2014Citada por: 11Referencias: 49

    The combined effects of two global trends, urbanization and climate change, have generated considerable concern regarding their adverse and disproportionate impacts on the health of urban populations. This study contributes to climate‐justice research by determining whether elevated levels of urban heat, indicated by land surface temperature (), are distributed inequitably with respect to race/ethnicity, age, and socioeconomic status in Pinellas …
