Description
'Urban Design: Health and the Therapeutic Environment' demonstrates how urban design and planning impact on public health and sustainable
development. Moughtin et al. explore the concept of what makes a physically and psychologically ?healthy? environment in the context
of the paramount need for new homes where living standards are not compromised, in increasingly crowded cities.
– Sets out the
history and development of the healthy city, from the English spa town to standards of care in Cuba to provide a context for modern urban
health development.
– Covers a wide range of environmental, ecological, health and epidemiological issues.
– Case studies
and examples show how health policy and procedure is practically applied to sustainable urban development.
'Urban Design: Health
and the Therapeutic Environment' outlines best practice for healthy, sustainable urban design and provides a reference tool for architects,
urban designers, landscape architects, health professionals and planners.
