Videos are extremely powerful tools to present research results. Five minutes says it all (almost).

Urban renewal and health is a video produced by the SOPHIE team to disseminate the results of the evaluation of the Neighbourhoods Law, implemented by the Government of Catalonia between 2004 and 2011. This evaluation led to large-scale urban renewal interventions across Catalonia. The government and municipalities supported interventions in underprivileged neighbourhoods that focused on improving living conditions of residents.

Researchers have concluded that projects with interventions that include improved accessibility, walkability, equipment, social integration programs and perception of security, are effective to improve the health of their residents.

SOPHIE (Evaluating the Impact of Structural Policies on Health Inequalities and their Social Determinants, and Fostering Change – www.sophie-project.eu) is a research project funded from the European Community’s Seventh Framework Programme that aims to generate new evidence on the impact of structural policies on health inequalities, and to develop innovative methodologies for the evaluation of these policies in Europe.
