b'Dean Amale Andraos speaks with GSAPP Associate Professor Malo Hutson, who teaches in Urban Planning and directs the school\\u2019s Urban Community and Health Equity Lab. The interdisciplinary research lab operates at the intersection of health inequalities and urban planning, and collaborates with community groups, students, and academic and professional colleagues. \\nIn this podcast, Andraos and Hutson discuss how housing and place affects residents\\u2019 health, day-to-day life, and sense of community \\u2013 particularly for areas going through a neighborhood transformation. They also speak about how the benefits can be shared equitably between diverse communities as cities change, and how to move beyond the \\u201cparalysis of analysis.\\u201d \\n\\u201cSo much of the built environment impacts our everyday lives and shapes the places that we live. The fundamental piece of my work is asking how does place matter: for your health, for economic opportunities, for education, for the environment \\u2013 for all those things\\u201d \\n\\u2014Malo Hutson\\nFor more information see: https://www.arch.columbia.edu/research/labs/14-urban-community-and-health-equity-lab'
