Planning Australia's Healthy Built Environments shines a
quintessentially Australian light on the links between land use
planning and human health. A burgeoning body of empirical research
demonstrates the ways urban structure and governance influences
human health-and Australia is playing a pivotal role in developing
understandings of the relationships between health and the built
environment. This book takes a retrospective look at many of the
challenges faced in pushing the healthy built environment agenda
forward. It provides a clear and theoretically sound framework to
inform this work into the future. With an emphasis on context and
the pursuit of equity, Jennifer L. Kent and Susan Thompson supply
specific ways to better incorporate idiosyncrasies of place and
culture into urban planning interventions for health promotion. By
chronicling the ways health and the built environment scholarship
and practice can work together, Planning Australia's Healthy Built
Environments enters into new theoretical and practical debates in
this critically important area of research. This book will resonate
with both health and built environment scholars and practitioners
working to create sustainable and health-supportive urban
environments.
