| Description: |
The WHO inaugurated 'Healthy Cities' project has had an enormous impact on community development, health education and housing policies in cities all over the world. This book carefully evaluates the successes and failures of the scheme so far. |
| Synopsis: |
The growth of health promotion as a topic for discussion and a principle for practice is widespread, and affects all groups of health professionals. The Healthy Cities project, like Health for All, was inaugurated by the World Health Organization and has informed policy throughout the world. Healthy Cities: Research and Practice examines the application of the project in a number of countries. The contributors explore problems in the relationship between policy makers, communities, and academic researchers, and discuss how the Healthy Cities program affects housing policy, community development, scientific interchange and health education. In addition, the Editors, John Davies and Michael Kelly, provide a context by tracing the history of the WHO projects and discuss them in the broader context of scientific and philosohical debates about modernism and post-modernism. The contributors are drawn from practitioners and scientists with wide experience in the area from the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and the United States.Healthy Cities will be invaluable to all those working at community level and in government with an interest in health, as well as students of health promotion. |
