Urban planning is deeply implicated in both the planetary crisis of climate change and the personal crises of unhealthy lifestyles. Worldwide health issues such as obesity, mental illness, growing health inequalities and climate vulnerability cannot be solved solely by medicines but also by tackling the social, economic and environmental determinants. In a time when unhealthy and unsustainable conditions are being built into the physical fabric of cities, a new awareness and strategy is urgently needed to putting health and well-being at the heart of planning. The Routledge Handbook of Planning for Health and Well-being authoritatively and comprehensively integrates health into planning, strengthening the hands of those who argue and plan for healthy environments. With contributions from international leaders in the field, the Handbook of Planning for Health and Well-being provides context, philosophy, research, processes, and tools of experienced practitioners through case studies from four continents.

This book focuses ona hitherto neglected area of research within the fields of academic and professinal descourse: teh language of conferencing. The volume represents a reange of perspectives, from the conference as a whole event to the conferenfe as a system of potential genres, within a given discourse community. Somne discourse feataures of conference language are examined in detail, such as stretegies for politeness and other interpersonal management dur9ng presentations and discussions. The pedagogical implications of conference research are also addressed; in indeed there is a growing need for such a focus. Novice conference participants need explicit linguistic description fo the training in, the relevant generes to enable them to become fullyfledged members of their professional discourse communites. Additionally, the work in this volume makes a valuable contribution to the understanding of he intercultura and educational dimensions of the increasing dominance of English as an international lingua franca--in conferences and beyond.
