Abstract
My research examines the relationship between American urbanism in Honolulu, Hawai’i and the disparities in COVID-19 infection rates. This research supports the need for disaggregating city-level data and incorporating local knowledge to address public health inequities. This research utilizes Public Use Microdata Areas (PUMA) to compare health indicators between two distinct neighborhoods in Honolulu, Kalihi and Hawaiʻi Kai. My research aims to center the recovery of ahupuaʻa, or Kanaka ʻŌiwi (Native Hawaiian) land systems.
