Streets In The Sky
Cambridge Public Heath
4 episodes
4 days ago
We explore the public health implications of modern housing. With global warming creating unsafe living environments across the world, new tower blocks that do not account for local needs are likely to transform into public health crises over the coming years. We speak to academics, architects, public health specialists, and government representatives to determine both the importance of this growing problem and what can be done about it. Homes need to change — but changing them in the wrong way will lead everyone to be worse off.

Mumbai’s Slum Rehabilitation Scheme

In episode two, we switch our focus to Mumbai, in which about six million people live in slums. The Indian government is focused on what it calls slum rehabilitation, but work by researchers at Cambridge suggests that the new tower blocks, which resemble those built in London in the post-war period, lead to as many public health problems as they do solutions.
