Thematik

Today urban health issues have engendered urgent challenges, since the number of the city dwellers is increasing continuously. In the last decade, for the first time in human history, the ratio of the global population living in urban areas has outstripped its rural counterpart. Urbanization as a process is closely connected with several other essential social, economic and environmental changes, which have resulted in both positive and negative impacts on the health status of city dwellers. The aim of the course is to provide students with a general overview of these positive and negative health impacts of a city.
