PLANNING ENVIRONMENT CITIES HEALTHY URBANISM ...

The globally distributed health impacts of environmental degradation and widening inequalities
require a fundamental shift in understandings of healthy urbanism. This book redefines the
meaning and form of healthy urban environments  urging planners and design professionals to
consider how their work impacts population health and wellbeing at multiple spatial and
temporal scales. The concepts of equity  inclusion and sustainability are central to this
framing  reversing the traditional focus on individuals  their genes and 'lifestyle choices' to
one of structural factors that affect health. Integrating theory and concepts from social
epidemiology  sustainable development and systems thinking with practical case studies  this
book will be of value for students and practitioners.
