Urban Health

An essential collection that advances our understanding of how cities influence our health Urban Health connects urban exposures ¿ the experiences, choices, and behaviors shaped by living in a city ¿ to their impact on population health. By using the ubiquitous urban experience as a lens to study these exposures across borders and demographics, this book offers a new, scalable framework for understanding health and disease. Its applications to public health, epidemiology, and social science are virtually unlimited.
