Resumen
Este artículo discute una dimensión poco problematizada en los estudios urbanos: las desigualdades ambientales. En detrimento de esta categoría se han estudiado otras manifestaciones de las desigualdades, como las urbanas, socioespaciales, residenciales, de acceso a la ciudad, de derechos, etc. Mas allá, de intentar una aproximación teórica a la noción de desigualdades ambientales, se argumenta su importancia crucial en el orden de la calidad de vida y la salud pública, fundamentalmente de los sectores populares. Se sostiene que este tipo de desigualdades refiere a las adversidades del medioambiente contaminado, la exposición a riesgos y distintas vulnerabilidades del entorno urbano ambiental. Las desigualdades ambientales no son simples diferencias, son el resultado de una sinergia con otras formas de desigualdades, cuyos efectos profundizan las desventajas. Finalmente, la discusión pone al descubierto, la desigualdad que generan las políticas urbanas al descompensar la calidad de vida y el hábitat de los sectores populares, donde los costos asociados a la contaminación y sus efectos, no son tenidos en cuenta entre la población más pobre.
This article discusses a dimension that has not been much discussed in urban studies: environmental inequalities. To the detriment of this category, other manifestations of inequality have been studied, such as urban, socio-spatial, housing, access to the city, rights, etc. In addition to attempting a theoretical approach to the notion of environmental inequalities, we argue their crucial importance in terms of quality of life and public health, especially in the popular sectors. It is argued that this type of inequalities refers to the disadvantages of the polluted environment, the exposure to risks and the different vulnerabilities of the urban environment. Environmental inequalities are not simple differences; they are the result of a synergy with other forms of inequality, the effects of which deepen the disadvantages. Finally, the discussion exposes the inequalities generated by urban policies that disproportionately affect the quality of life and habitat of popular sectors, where the costs associated with pollution and its effects on the poorest populations are not taken into account.
