'Urban Design: Health and the Therapeutic Environment' demonstrates how urban design and planning impact on public health and sustainable development. Moughtin et al. explore the concept of what makes a physically and psychologically 'healthy' environment in the context of the paramount need for new homes where living standards are not compromised, in increasingly crowded cities. . Sets out the history and development of the healthy city, from the English spa town to standards of care in Cuba to provide a context for modern urban health development. . Covers a wide range of environmental, ecological, health and epidemiological issues. . Case studies and examples show how health policy and procedure is practically applied to sustainable urban development.
