At a moment when the world's population increasingly lives in urban
settings, the public health of cities-or the intersection of stress
and wellness with architecture and urbanism-is a matter of pressing
concern for designers. Questions Concerning Health reports on this
critical terrain, focusing particularly on Johannesburg, South
Africa (a notable test case in which the term "social equivalency,"
used by epidemiologists, also carries considerable historical and
spatial resonance). Among the book's research findings is that
health is an intensively local phenomenon that demands intensively
local responses in the form of more sensitive architectural
typologies as well as urban planning. Questions Concerning Health
presents a number of essays by experts on urban health and
Johannesburg in particular, including the design proposals of eight
students who participated in the research studio.
