This forward-looking resource recasts the concept of healthy cities
as not only a safe, pleasant, and green built environment, but also
one that creates and sustains health by addressing social,
economic, and political conditions. It describes collaborations
between city planning and public health creating a contemporary
concept of urban governance-a democratically-informed process that
embraces values like equity. Models, critiques, and global examples
illustrate institutional change, community input, targeted
assessment, and other means of addressing longstanding sources of
urban health challenges. In these ambitious pages, healthy cities
are rooted firmly in the worldwide movement toward balanced and
sustainable urbanization, developed not to disguise or displace
entrenched health and social problems, but to encourage and foster
solutions. Included in the coverage: Towards healthy urban
governance in the century of the city<
Healthy cities emerge: Toronto, Ottawa, Copenhagen The role of
policy coalitions in understanding community participation in
healthy cities projects Health impact assessment at the local level
The logic of method for evaluating healthy cities Plus: extended
reports on healthy cities and communities in North and Latin
America, Africa, Europe, Asia, Oceania, and the Middle East Healthy
Cities will interest and inspire community leaders, activists,
politicians, and entrepreneurs working to improve health and
well-being at the local level, as well as public health and urban
development scholars and professionals.
