The government ignored neighborhood apart. epidemics of addiction, but started mass incarceration. “Stand by me” “What’s going on?” ”Fuck the police” “For a long time, I have been trying to mobilize our leaders so that the cities, where our money and brainpower are concentrated, innovate for better functioning. What is the problem we must solve? It is the fracture that exists between the wealthy neighborhoods and the others… “But paradoxically, if we want to improve life in those neighborhoods, we can’t just treat the neighborhoods… we must treat the whole city. We must eliminate the fracture.”

Michel Cantal-Dupart

Colloque Triville, 1993 What is a ”magic strategy?”

Human ecologists Rodrick Wallace and Deborah Wallace have argued that “magic strategies” – multi- system, multi-scale health promotions – fit best with the basic biology of people and offer the most hope for the future. These are interventions that address the large-scale social inequalities and injustices, are sensitive to local culture, and include the voices of all the people.
