Healthy Cities
Public Health through Urban Planning
Chinmoy Sarkar, Chris Webster and John Gallacher
Mounting scientific evidence generated over the past decade highlights the significant role of our cities’ built environments in shaping our health and well-being. In this book, the authors conceptualize the ‘urban health niche’ as a novel approach to public health and healthy-city planning that integrates the diverse and multi-level health determinants present in a city system.
