What Does HIA Bring To Urban Policies?
Health impact assessment (HIA) is a growing practice in France, driven by the shared desire of cities and regional health institutions to work together for a better health and reduction in social health inequities. HIA aims to identify the potential health impacts of policies and projects before they are implemented and suggest proposals that can mitigate negative impacts and enhance positive impacts. The objective of this article is to understand and estimate how HIA can incorporate health in urban policies.
