This book is a collection of policy briefs produced from research
presented at the 16th Conference on Urban Health in Xiamen, China,
November 4-8, 2019, under the theme "People Oriented Urbanisation:
Transforming Cities for Health and Well-Being", co-organized by the
Urban Health and Wellbeing (UHWB) programme of the International
Science Council (ISC). The UHWB programme takes an
interdisciplinary, cross-sectoral and systemic view on issues of
health and wellbeing in cities which include the urban economy and
finance systems, education, employment, mobility and transport,
food, energy and water resources, access to public services, urban
planning, public spaces and urban green, as well as social
inclusion. Contributions to this book have been made by scientists
from multidisciplinary research fields. The policy briefs in this
book present the background and context of an urban health issue,
research findings and recommendations for policy/decision-makers
and action-takers. In some cases, they inform about relevant events
and developments from the science community or important opinion
pieces which address health emergencies, like the current COVID-19
pandemic. The book is intended for citizens and political
decision-makers, who are interested in systems perspectives on
urban health and wellbeing, examples of how to deal with the
increasing complexity of cities and the accompanying environmental
and social impacts of increasing urbanization. Furthermore, it
hopes to inspire decision-makers to facilitate finding solutions,
in order to reach the goal of advancing global urban health and
wellbeing.
