商品描述
This book has a primary focus on inclusions for solutions to problems and not just more on the nature of the current and emerging problems that most other competing titles present. The book is also a true global representation of challenges and opportunities that have been encountered, addressed, and critiqued from a wide variety of contributors rather than academicians per se. In doing so, rather than focusing on techno-centric prowess and associated case studies of the west (as is the case in most competing titles), the book also equally emphasizes upon the vulnerabilities and mitigating solutions being developed and tested in the under-developed and developing nations. Besides this, the book also acquires an 'Equity' oriented focus and hints upon sustainable, inclusive modes of shaping our built environment throughout the contributing chapters. The book is also unique in the way it combines the chosen themes to provide a holistic coverage of the broader determinants of urban health and wellbeing, thus being better positioned to address SDG3 within one compact volume. The book also differs from a typical conference proceeding or a non-peer reviewed book since the book's highly theme specific approach is curated by a scientific peer review committee to carefully maintain diversity of contributions to the book.
Cities have a profound power to support or hinder human health and wellbeing in countless ways. Achieving greater health equity has emerged in recent years as a key priority and consideration when designing cities to promote health and wellbeing, although there is a dearth of evidence and practical examples of research translation to guide cities and communities. The book accordingly exemplifies a pluralistic approach to achieving urban health equity which recognises and addresses critical aspects of geography, age, race, background, socioeconomic status, disability, gender etc. With interdisciplinary science clearly pointing to the role of the neighbourhood environment as one of the most important health determinants, this book will undoubtedly lead the next generation of urban health actors to build contextually responsive, equitable, empathic cities to benefit residents around the world. The book, rather than being focused purely on academic propositions for building equitable cities, offers a unique multi-stakeholder perspective by collaborating with the International Society for Urban Health's 18th International Conference on Urban Health. This unique collaboration allows access to hundreds of scientists, architects, urbanists, multilaterals, policymakers, non-profit leaders, and grassroots organizers. The book captures the voices and concerns of such diverse cross-sectoral professionals and showcases findings that turn evidence into action and impact in communities around the world.

商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書主要聚焦於解決問題的方案，而不僅僅是當前及新興問題的性質，這是大多數其他競爭書籍所呈現的。本書也真實地代表了來自各種貢獻者所遇到、解決及批評的挑戰與機會，而非僅限於學術界。這樣做的同時，本書不僅專注於西方的技術中心能力及相關案例研究（如大多數競爭書籍所做），也同樣強調在發展中及欠發展國家所開發和測試的脆弱性及緩解方案。此外，本書還具有「公平」導向的焦點，並在各章中暗示可持續、包容的方式來塑造我們的建成環境。本書在於將所選主題結合起來，提供對城市健康與福祉更廣泛決定因素的全面覆蓋，因此在一個緊湊的卷冊中更好地定位於應對可持續發展目標3（SDG3）。本書也不同於典型的會議論文集或非同行評審書籍，因為本書的高度主題特定方法是由科學同行評審委員會策劃，以仔細維持對書籍貢獻的多樣性。
城市在無數方面對人類健康與福祉有著深遠的影響力。近年來，實現更大的健康公平已成為設計城市以促進健康與福祉的關鍵優先事項和考量，儘管缺乏證據和實際的研究轉化範例來指導城市和社區。因此，本書示範了一種多元化的方法來實現城市健康公平，認識並解決地理、年齡、種族、背景、社會經濟地位、殘疾、性別等關鍵方面。隨著跨學科科學明確指出鄰里環境作為最重要的健康決定因素之一，本書無疑將引領下一代城市健康行動者建立具有情境響應性、公平和同理心的城市，以惠及全球居民。本書不僅僅專注於建立公平城市的學術命題，而是通過與國際城市健康學會第18屆國際城市健康會議的合作，提供獨特的多方利益相關者視角。這一獨特的合作使得數百位科學家、建築師、城市規劃師、多邊機構、政策制定者、非營利領導者和基層組織者得以參與。本書捕捉了這些多元跨部門專業人士的聲音和關切，並展示了將證據轉化為行動和影響的發現，惠及全球社區。
