This event, in partnership with Centre for Cities, will look at some of the latest research in Policy@Manchester’s publication On Air Quality and the economic effects of air pollution. Exposure to air pollution has acute impacts on human health, productivity and widening societal inequalities. It is a national problem with profound local implications.
This panel will discuss how a place-based approach can be effective for building solutions to the air pollution problem that are effective, enduring, and equitable.
