Urban soil pollution is at the intersection of global health concerns, environmental protection and sustainable use of spaces. While some cities are reinvesting wastelands, advocating a circular waste economy and developing collective gardens or oasis courtyards, this work underlines the importance of working on soil health and its uses. Better soil quality is beneficial to human health, through food, but also because they constitute a reservoir of biological resources. However, soil quality often remains unknown in urban areas.
The impact of soils on air quality, water quality and biodiversity re-examines the question of the risks inherent in the long history of these soils and that of our practices. Therefore, how can we manage old pollution and reduce exposure associated with the territories concerned? How to anticipate future exposures? Promising avenues are proposed to improve the consideration of urban soils, from the perspective of the concept of global health which makes it possible to think about health at the interface with that of humans, animals and their environment, on national and global scales.
Through a multidisciplinary approach, this book provides answers to these societal challenges, to promote cooperation between all stakeholders concerned with city planning, ecotoxicology and human health, as well as citizens, and to put put in place concerted actions to promote information and co-construction with a view to better use of land towards a healthy and sustainable city.
This work is aimed at actors and decision-makers concerned with urban planning: managers, urban planners, architects or communities, researchers in biotechnical sciences and social sciences, as well as users of these urban environments.
