Cities and Health

Cities and health are interconnected aspects of urban living. The design and infrastructure of a city can significantly influence the well-being of its residents. Factors such as air quality, access to green spaces, public transportation, and healthcare services affect physical and mental health. Urban planning can promote healthier lifestyles by encouraging walking, reducing pollution, and ensuring that healthy food options are available. Additionally, cities face challenges like overcrowding and inequality, which can lead to health disparities among different communities. Addressing these issues is vital for creating healthier urban environments and improving population health overall.
