This book addresses up-to-date urban health issues from a systems
perspective and provides an appealing integrated urban development
strategy based on a 10-year global interdisciplinary research
programme created by the International Council for Science (ICSU),
and sponsored by the InterAcademy Partnership (IAP) and the United
Nations University (UNU). The unique feature of this book is its
"systems approach" to urban health and wellbeing: solution-oriented
for science and society and not purely theoretical, it can be
applied in the context of decision-making, and has the potential to
unlock cities' unused potential by promoting health and wellbeing.
Furthermore, the inter- and transdisciplinary urban issues
addressed in this book are examined from a cross-sectoral
perspective - e.g. the transport sector is addressed in connection
with air pollution, respiratory and cardiovascular diseases and the
loss of productivity. The interconnected thinking to urban health
and wellbeing makes the book a particularly valuable resource.
Decision makers in city administrations and civil society
organizations from different geographical regions will find the
book an informative and inspiring guide for delivering towards the
goals of the New Urban Agenda, for which health can be the vital
indicator of progress. Graduate students and researchers will be
attracted by the case studies, systems methods and models provided
in the book.
