about making things easier for the people who
live in our urban spaces?
ARE WE STRIVING FOR

Local governments
started to control land

People were protected from infectious
diseases such as tuberculosis and cholera
but they now faced new epidemics
such as obesity, asthma, heart disease
and diabetes, all related to the design
of the built environment.

DEFINITION

transportation

That all come

THE LINK
Our built

influences behavior
and choices of people
based on what is
available and
convenient. In turn
this can shape our
lifestyles and health

Applying health trends knowledge helps create new
community policies, building codes, and changes the

CONCLUSION
Participatory and inclusive urban planning approaches
Physical activity/transportation policies/urban design
Establish partnerships with health organisations (e.g WHO)
Communication with key stakeholder groups. (e.g. raising awareness among
builders and financers )
developing regulatory and legislative options and incentives for implementation.
(e.g Compact urban form and mixed use of city areas)

And lastly the social workers wanted to use the city to improve the lives of the people living there. They wanted cleaner tenements, spaces for immigrant children to play, and more light and fresh air for residents.
Overcrowding, air pollution, sewage, and proper sanitation were all issues that plagued cities of this era and demanded action.
Urbanization is a major public health challenge in the 21st century. For the first time in human history, the majority of the world’s population lives in cities. By 2030, it is estimated that about 60% of the world’s population will be urban dwellers, projected to rise to about 70% by 2050. Urbanization represents a great opportunity to improve people’s health, but also a complex challenge, especially in places where urbanization is outpacing the development of infrastructure, services, and other resources required to sufficiently meet the needs of the residents. Urban planning can play a role in making the impact of urbanization on health beneficial for people. Healthy urban planning is about creating healthy, equitable and sustainable citie

Many inner cities actually have higher obesity rates than suburbs. Inner-ring suburbs have some of the best health outcomes

The centerpiece of urban planning activities is a "master plan," which can take many forms, including comprehensive plans, neighborhood plans, community action plans, regulatory and incentive strategies, economic development plans, and disaster preparedness plans (1). Traditionally, these plans include assessing and planning for community needs in some or all of the following areas: transportation, housing, commercial/office buildings, natural resource utilization, environmental protection, and health-care infrastructure.
With so many components to consider, planners must take a comprehensive approach to envision how all these different elements will compliment each other as they shape our cities. Urban planning also factors in time and how current trends and building practices will affect the built environment today and into the future

mportant issues in this theme cover healthy urban planning, housing and regeneration, healthy transport, climate change, exposure to noise and pollution, healthy urban design and creativity and liveability. One major area within healthy urban environment and design ishealth impact assessment. Follow the link for more information on health impact assessment.
Healthy urban planning has a major role to play in creating and managing the built environment we live in. This means it has an influence on our health and the ability to maintain good health. It promotes the idea that a City is much more than buildings, streets and open spaces and is a living community, the health of which is closely linked to that of its citizens.
New York City’s Department of Transportation, led by Janette Sadik-Kahnannounced today that they will be opening nearly three acres of streets to pedestrian traffic. And where might this be you ask? None other than onBroadway, arguably the most famous street in America. The decision, backed by Mayor Bloomberg, comes after Sadik-Kahn’s hugely successfulPublic Plaza Initiative enacted in 2007. The DOT found that the new plazas greatly reduced traffic-related injuries, in some cases up to 56%. Along with saftey, the DOT sited both economic and traffic improvements as reasons for the plan, not too mention a much better streetscape for the nearly 360,000 pedestrians who visit the area every day. The plan is estimated to cost $1.5 million. Check out the full presentation below (you will notice that the four removed vehicle lanes are not being replaced by a $3 billion tunn

Strongly link policies on the design of the built environment with benefits and impacts on public health and wellbeing.
The future of urban planning has great potential as smart growth, new urbanism, and complete street policies gain acceptance and a greater importance is placed on public health.
