Theoretical and empirical analysis focuses on maximizing the benefits of urban living and minimizing negative outcomes across areas for improvement (health education, maternal and child health) and threats to well-being (noise pollution, drug counterfeiting). For each challenge, contributors discuss implications for health, specific practices that fuel them, and emerging ideas for solving them efficiently and effectively. Not only are these issues of immediate salience, they will become dangerously urgent in years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Included in the coverage: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFood fortification and other innovations to address child malnutrition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnti-trafficking innovations, urbanization, and global health.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInnovations to address global climate change in cities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInnovations in disaster preparedness: implications for urbanization and health.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedical diagnostic innovations in urban developing settings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe case for comprehensive, integrated, and standardized measures of health in cities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e Recent studies suggest that urban areas will be a large majority in both the developing and developed worlds. \u003ci\u003eInnovations to Address Urbanization \u0026amp; Global Health\u003c\/i\u003e is a proactive idea book to be read by undergraduates, graduate students and researchers in public and urban health.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-10-18\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781489978127\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4899-7597-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 333\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47517712220300,"sku":"9781489978127","price":71.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781489978127.jpg?v=1775966412","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781489978127","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
