Diversity and intersectionality among environmentally burdened communities in the Philadelphia Metropolitan Area, USA

Auteur :
SICOTTE, D.

Description :
This article examines diversity and intersectionality among environmentally burdened communities in the Philadelphia Metropolitan Area, USA. Location in the city and in industrialised areas near the Delaware River appears to intersect with disadvantage and with racial/ethnic status to boost risk for burdening, while substantially White racial composition, affluence and location near rail lines and in the outer suburbs decrease risk and the number of hazardous facilities. However, more diversity was found among burdened communities than previous research would indicate.
