Urbanization is having an impact on antimicrobial resistance (AMR). According to the World Bank Group, more than half of the global population now lives in cities, and by 2050, nearly 70% of people worldwide will call urban areas home. But as our cities grow, so do the complex global health challenges they face.
In the second episode of the “New Conceptions to Manage AMR” series, we take a fresh look at this issue through the lens of urban political ecology (UPE). This perspective helps us understand how urbanization, social inequities, infrastructure, and global systems intersect and contribute to the rise of AMR.
How do urban planning and bustling metropolitan infrastructures impact the rise of AMR? And how can recognizing these connections help us find more effective approaches to address AMR? Join our host, Daniela Corno, and guests Dr. Raphael Aguiar and Dr. Kayla Strong as they discuss how a UPE perspective can offer new insights into tackling antimicrobial resistance.
