The City Clean Air Hub is a resource developed as part of the Community Data Health Initiative (CDHI).
About CDHI
CDHI serves to expand cities’ capacity to take on environmental challenges that directly affect people’s health—starting with air pollution and extreme heat. The initiative partners with mayors and city staff to turn local data, community insights and cross-sector partnerships into targeted solutions in neighborhoods facing the greatest environmental health risks.
CDHI launched in 2022 and is generously supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and The Kresge Foundation. It functions as a collaboration between the Data-Smart City Solutions program at the Bloomberg Center for Cities at Harvard, the Environmental Defense Fund and the African American Mayors Association and Meharry Medical College.
