SALURBAL-C Young Researchers Map
Embark on this tour of eight Latin American countries and learn more about this project through the experiences of its young researchers, who, with a multidisciplinary approach, analyze the connection between urban public health and climate change to promote community policies and actions. These are the stories that make SALURBAL-Climate possible.

What is a SALURBAL City?
The Drexel Urban Health Collaborative's interactive scrolly visually explains the SALURBAL project's rigorous protocol for defining cities, sub-cities, and neighborhoods. This scrolly guides users through the process of identifying urban agglomerations with 100,000+ residents, combining neighboring cities, and establishing geographic boundaries. The hierarchical structure includes levels for cities (L1), sub-cities (L2), and neighborhoods (L3), allowing for detailed health and wellbeing comparisons within and between 371 cities in 11 countries.

Building a Data Platform for Cross-Country Urban Health Studies: the SALURBAL Study.
A data platform integrates health outcomes with physical and social environment data in 11 Latin American countries. 371 cities and 1436 sub-city units were identified for multilevel health research. The platform allows for varied research questions and can support policies to improve urban health and sustainability in Latin America.

Social disparities in neighborhood flood exposure in 44,698 urban neighborhoods in Latin America
Climate change will increase flooding exposure for urban populations, particularly in low-income countries. Socioeconomic disparities in flooding were found based on neighborhood education levels, with those in lower educational attainment neighborhoods more at risk. Policies must focus on adapting and recovering from floods in disadvantaged areas.
