| With the surging interest in environmental
issues, municipalities worldwide are placing greater emphasis on public health in their comprehensive community planning. Unfortunately, most are still addressing health in a fragmented manner. Designing Healthy Cities will serve as an invaluable aid in the decision-making process by ensuring that all aspects of public health are considered. Combining a clear presentation of the state of the science with prescriptions for healthy community design, this manual provides a concise but complete
framework that can be used by planning and design professionals to promote human health and to reduce the burden of disease and disability. |
