CERC Une Seule Santé Urbaine - One Urban Health

About

CERC Une Seule Santé Urbaine, based at the École de Santé Publique at the Université de Montréal, is an interdisciplinary research center launched in September 2023. Led by Evelyne de Leeuw, a prominent figure in public health, the center focuses on the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health through the "One Health" framework. This approach aims to create healthier urban environments by addressing the complexities of cities as ecosystems. The center's research encompasses various areas, including public health, community health, social inequalities, and ecosystem governance. CERC collaborates with a diverse network of partners, including local government, health authorities, and community organizations, to develop integrated methods for improving health equity and well-being in urban settings. Its governance structure supports collaboration among researchers and community stakeholders, fostering a space for innovative solutions to urban health challenges.
