It describes collaborations between city planning and public health creating a contemporary concept of urban governance—a democratically-informed process that embraces values like equity. Models, critiques, and global examples illustrate institutional change, community input, targeted assessment, and other means of addressing longstanding sources of urban health challenges. In these ambitious pages, healthy cities are rooted firmly in the worldwide movement toward balanced and sustainable urbanization, developed not to disguise or displace entrenched health and social problems, but to encourage and foster solutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded in the coverage: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTowards healthy urban governance in the century of the city\u0026lt;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHealthy cities emerge: Toronto, Ottawa, Copenhagen\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe role of policy coalitions in understanding community participation in healthy cities projects\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHealth impact assessment at the local level\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe logic of method for evaluating healthy cities\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlus: extended reports on healthy cities and communities in North and Latin America, Africa, Europe, Asia, Oceania, and the Middle East                                                                                                                    \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHealthy Cities\u003c\/i\u003e will interest and inspire community leaders, activists, politicians, and entrepreneurs workingto improve health and well-being at the local level, as well as public health and urban development scholars and professionals.                                                                                                                                        \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2017-02-17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781493966929\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4939-6694-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 515.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44807991263372,"sku":"9781493966929","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781493966929_1a333f3d-af9e-463e-8eed-6574de64d8b7.jpg?v=1763613349","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781493966929","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
