Anna Oudin

Anna is an associate professor in the Planetary Health research group, which integrates epidemiology with actionable health impact assessments to inform urban planning. We explore how environmental factors like traffic noise or air pollution affect health and translate these findings into concrete outcomes. For example, we estimate the health benefits of nature-based solutions, such as increasing greenery or reducing vehicle emissions, in terms of lives saved and diseases prevented. This approach provides policymakers with clear data, including economic costs, to prioritize sustainable, health-focused urban development.
