FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

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.

Back Cover

"Through the lenses of equity, inclusion and sustainability, Pineo's 'healthy urbanism,' productively builds on existing theory and practice to consider and describe the processes, principles and goals that can support health through urban planning and development." --Professor Julian Agyeman, Tufts University, USA "This treasure-trove book sightsees health and well-being on a journey. Beyond traditional boundaries of urbanism, it voyages by streets, cities, and planetary ecosystems, enhancing synergies between urban disciplines, evolving new approaches to preserve well-being, amplifying opportunities for a healthy and equitable life on a sustainable planet." --Professor Waleska Teixeira Caiaffa, Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil "Pineo's examination of healthy urbanism offers a deep dive and a systems thinking framework to understanding the social and physical determinants of health. The site-specific examples and case studies bring the research to life and make this text very readable for people in and outside of public health and urban design disciplines." --Sharon Z.
