Abstract

The present book discusses three significant challenges of the built environment, namely regional and global climate change, vulnerability, and survivability under the changing climate. Synergies between local climate change, energy consumption of buildings and energy poverty, and health risks highlight the necessity to develop mitigation strategies to counterbalance overheating impacts. The studies presented here assess the underlying issues related to urban overheating. Further, the impacts of temperature extremes on the low-income population and increased morbidity and mortality have been discussed. The increasing intensity, duration, and frequency of heatwaves due to human-caused climate change is shown to affect underserved populations. Thus, housing policies on resident exposure to intra-urban heat have been assessed. Finally, opportunities to mitigate urban overheating have been proposed and discussed.

Abstract

Partout dans le monde, on constate non seulement la persistance, mais bien le creusement des inégalités en matière de santé. Le Québec ne fait pas exception : on a estimé qu'environ cinq ans d'espérance de vie et près de quinze années de vie en bonne santé y séparent les populations les plus défavorisées des groupes les plus avantagés. Cet écart ne s'explique qu'en partie par l'inégale répartition des ressources matérielles. Les causes sont à l'évidence plus complexes, et il convient de les définir avec le plus de rigueur possible. Soutenu par le Réseau de recherche en santé des populations du Québec, cet ouvrage rassemble les contributions d'auteurs aux expertises très diverses. L'épidémiologie sociale et la sociologie, mais aussi la psychologie, la géographie, l'anthropologie, la neurobiologie et l'évaluation de programmes comptent ainsi parmi les voies empruntées pour aborder un objet d'étude en pleine évolution. Les solutions à cet important problème de santé publique et d'équité passeront en effet par le partage des connaissances et la complémentarité des perspectives.
