Resumo: Abstract The Belo Horizonte Observatory for Urban Health (OSUBH), housed in an academic setting, was founded in 2002 as part of a broader agenda to strengthen local and national health systems. Its mission is to build the capacity of the workforce in research on population health and to conduct studies on urban issues that can guide the planning of activities aimed at improving the health of populations, especially in heavily urbanized areas, associated with intra-urban inequalities. It focuses on the acquisition of advanced knowledge on urban health (metric) through scientific research, to contribute to public policies that may interfere with health, both at individual and community levels. During its lifetime, many partnerships and studies have been developed, but many challenges still exist in order for it to consolidate its position as a legitimate space and as a tool to generate systematic information for governments and populations.

Su misión es fomentar y fortalecer la capacidad de trabajo en investigación en el área de la salud, con la realización de estudios centrados en las poblaciones urbanas, procurando impulsar la planificación para mejorar la salud urbana, especialmente, en las áreas de intensa urbanización asociadas a desigualdades intra-urbanas. La actividad se centra en la adquisición de un conocimiento profundo (métricas) sobre la salud urbana, a través de la investigación científica, con el fin de contribuir a las políticas públicas que pueden interferir en la salud, tanto a nivel individual, como comunitario. En su trayectoria, se han realizado asociaciones y estudios, pero, además, existen muchos desafíos para su legitimación, con el fin de consolidarse como una herramienta para generar información sistemática para gobiernos y poblaciones.Resumo O Observatório de Saúde Urbana de Belo Horizonte (OSUBH), aninhado em um ambiente acadêmico, foi fundado em 2002, em uma intensa agenda de saúde local e nacional. Sua missão é construir a capacidade da força de trabalho em pesquisa em saúde da população e realizar estudos urbanos com temas que podem orientar o planejamento de ações para melhorar a saúde das populações, especialmente em áreas intensamente urbanizadas, associadas com desigualdades intraurbanas. Centra-se na aquisição de conhecimentos aprofundados sobre a saúde urbana (métricas) por meio de pesquisa científica, visando a contribuir com políticas públicas que possam interferir na saúde, tanto no nível individual como no comunitário. Em sua trajetória, parcerias e estudos têm sido implementados, mas muitos desafios se colocam para a sua legitimação no sentido de consolidar-se como ferramenta na geração de informações sistemáticas para governos e população.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2015-11-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/5818Reports in Public Health; Vol. 31 No. 13 (2015): Supplement 1Cadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 31 n. 13 (2015): Suplemento 11678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/5818/12149https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/5818/12150Maria Angelica de Salles DiasAmélia Augusta de Lima FricheVeneza Berenice de OliveiraWaleska Teixeira Caiaffainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:28:57Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/5818Revistahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csphttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/oaicadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br||cadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br1678-44640102-311Xopendoar:2024-03-06T13:06:39.258009Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true
