Urban Environments and Health in the Philippines offers a
retrospective view of women street vendors and their urban
environments in Baguio City, designed by American architect and
planner Daniel Burnham in the early twentieth century, and
established by the American imperial government as a place for
healing and well-being. Based on a transdisciplinary multi-method
study of street vendors, the author offers a unique perspective as
a researcher of the place, to ultimately ask how marginalized women
authenticate and democratize prime urban spaces for their
livelihoods. This book provides a portal to another way of seeing
and understanding streets and people, covering spatial units at
multiple scales, design imperialism and its impact on health, and
resilience strategies for challenging realities. Blending subjects
of architecture, planning, and health, this book is an ideal read
for those interested in fields of urban planning and design, public
health, landscape architecture, geography, and social sciences.

Leading health scholars reveal the impact of globalization on human
health, as it is mediated through environmental change. They
explore the destabilizing impact of globalization on the planet's
ecology, and on the health of the human populations that are
dependent on the delicate global bionetwork. Their timely case
studies describe the cultural adaptations of indigenous populations
to their changing environments, evaluating their technological and
global political-economic processes. The authors analyze local and
global public health strategies, examine the association between
globalization and demographies, and offer creative solutions for
future health policies. This book will be a valuable resource for
professionals in international health, medical anthropology,
sociology and geography, environmental studies, and globalization
studies.
