It aims to demonstrate that cities are a complex interplay of these various dimensions that both shape, and are shaped by, existing and emerging city structures, governance, design and planning. Explaining how to consider these interconnecting dimensions in the way in which professionals and citizens think about and design the city for future generations' health and wellbeing, therefore, is key. The chapters draw on UK case and research examples and make comparison to international cities and examples. This book will be of great interest to researchers and students in planning, public policy, public health, and design"-- Provided by publisher.
