Healthy Cities - Research and Practice (Paperback)

The growth of health promotion as a topic for discussion and a principle for practice is widespread, and affects all groups of health professionals. The "Healthy Cities" project, like "Health for All", was inaugurated by the World Health Organization and has informed policy throughout the world. This volume examines the application of the project in a number of countries. The contributors explore problems in the relationship between policy makers, communities and academic researchers, and discuss how the "Healthy Cities" programme affects housing policy, commmunity development, scientific interchange and health education. In addition, John Davies and Michael Kelly provide a context by tracing the history of the WHO projects, and then discuss them in the broader context of scientific and philosophical debates about modernism and post-modernism. The contributors are drawn from practitioners and scientists with wide experience in this area from the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and the United States.
