City Centric

City Centric is a podcast series from the Centric Lab, a neuroscience research lab working at the intersection of health x climate change x cities. We believe that a person can only have agency over their health when they are part of a supportive ecosystem, which includes the places they inhabit. The podcast focuses on conversations around how our understanding of health needs to improve in order to overcome present day health challenges and prepare our urban environments for future changes. Centric is a small team based in London leading a civic movement on health justice. Centric aims to provide the tools and solutions to help policy makers protect our health as urbanisation becomes more complex. For more information please visit www.thecentriclab.com

Welcome to a new episode of Healing Futures, part of the Urban Health Council. This conversation is between neuroscientist and health activist Araceli Camargo, data ethics and facilitator Daniel Akinola-Odusola, and medical student and climate campaigner Amit Singh. It is based on a body of work being produced within the Urban Health Council on what it means for children to grow up in states of crisis. This project is not intended to alarm, but to put the child to old age health trajectory into the context of planetary dysregulation and its secondary effects. Currently, children are experiencing multiple stressors or pathways of poor health; forced displacement, family separation, pollution of water, land, and air, acute weather events, malnutrition, poverty, and a global pandemic that is causing long term effects. In June 2022 the Urban Health Council put out the following work [https://www.urbanhealthcouncil.com/reports-playbooks/growing-up-in-crisis] and through 2023 the Urban Health Council has been convening members of the public and practitioners for open roundtables about the topic. A little bit about Healing Futures: Healing Futures are various futures created by all Peoples in Kinship with Nature for equitable access to various healing practices and knowledges.
