This article focuses too much on specific examples. (May 2016) |
In social science, a built environment is “the humanitarian-made space in which people live, work, and recreate on a day-to-day basis.”[1] It “encompasses places and spaces created or modified by people including buildings, parks, and transportation systems,”[2] as well as supporting infrastructure such as waste disposal systems and overhead power lines.[3] In recent years, public health research has explored the relationship to physical and mental health of neighborhood features such as “walkability”, “bikeability”, healthy food access, and community gardens.[2] The association with depression of these and other environmental exposures such as housing conditions and noise level has also been assessed.[4][5][6] Notably, exposure to adverse environmental conditions such as poorly maintained housing and high levels of ambient noise are not randomly distributed and tend to concentrate among the poor and ethnic minorities, resulting in health disparities.[7]
