520 |a "Any discussion about urban health will begin with the fact that most of humanity now lives in urban areas. About a decade into the 21st century, the urban portion of the global population surpassed 50 percent. This shift to majority urban will come last to Africa, where the rate of urban growth is the highest in the world. How has this centuries-long transformation in human settlement affected how we think about public health research and practice? The answer: not enough. Urban health has been a niche area, much as the climate crisis has been a niche area in environmental science. It is clear that this must change because urban is how people now live. URBAN PUBLIC HEALTH: A Research Toolkit for Practice and Impact is a valuable addition to the surprisingly slim number of books that investigate what urban health means and why its study is both distinct and important. Carefully crafted and thoughtful chapters grapple with the complexity of the urban setting as a physical and social space. The volume will appeal to a varied audience, including researchers, students and practitioners alike"--  |c Provided by publisher
