Urban Planning and Health

Urban planning and health refers to the way cities and communities are designed to promote the well-being of their residents. This entails creating environments that encourage physical activity, provide access to green spaces, and ensure that people have access to healthcare services. Effective urban planning considers factors like air quality, transportation, and housing, all of which can impact health outcomes. By combining urban design with public health principles, communities can create safer, healthier living spaces that reduce disease and enhance the quality of life for everyone.
