This book presents the background and context of an urban health
issue, research findings, and recommendations for
policy/decision-makers and action-takers. This book is a collection
of policy briefs produced from research presented at the 16th
Conference on Urban Health in Xiamen, China, during 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 15th Annual Session of Global Forum on Human Settlements
in Shenzhen, China, during October 15-16, 2020, and the Chinese
Academy of Sciences & Technology (CAST) International
Conference on "Digital economy and green development" held during
November 2020. The UHWB programme takes an interdisciplinary,
cross-sectoral, and systemic view on issues of health and
well-being 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 provide an interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral perspective on
urban health and human well-being issues, primarily food security,
urban infrastructure, public services, traffic and transportation,
smart city building, urban health and safety, social cohesion
sustainable development policies, and urban planning. In some case,
it informs about urban health issues in different regions of the
world, the current status, and key insights into addressing related
issues, with emphasis on factual cases in 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 well-being, 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
well-being.
