Through interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary perspectives, and
with an emphasis on exploring patterns as well as distinct and
unique conditions across the globe, this collection examines
advanced and cutting-edge theoretical and methodological approaches
to the study of the health of urban populations. Despite the
growing interest in global urban health, there are limited
resources available that provide an extensive and advanced
exploration into the health of urban populations in a transnational
context. This volume offers a high-quality and comprehensive
examination of global urban health issues by leading urban health
scholars from around the world. The book brings together a
multi-disciplinary perspective on urban health, with chapter
contributions emphasizing disciplines in the social sciences,
construction sciences and medical sciences. The co-editors of the
collection come from a number of different disciplinary backgrounds
that have been at the forefront of urban health research, including
public health, epidemiology, geography, city planning and urban
design. The book is intended to be a reference in global urban
health for research libraries and faculty collections. It will also
be appropriate as a text for university class adoption in
upper-division under-graduate courses and above. The proposed
volume is extensive and offers enough breadth and depth to enable
it to be used for courses emphasizing a U.S., or wider Western
perspective, as well as courses on urban health emphasizing a
global context.
Cities play a major role in tackling the COVID-19 pandemic as many
measures are adopted at the scale of cities and involve adjustments
to the way urban areas operate. Drawing from case studies across
the globe, this book explores how the pandemic and the policies it
has prompted have caused changes in the ways cities function. The
contributors examine the advancing social inequality brought on by
the pandemic and suggest policies intended to contain contagion
whilst managing the economy in these circumstances. Offering
crucial insights for reforming cities to be more resilient to
future crises, this is an invaluable resource for scholars and
policy makers alike.
