This volume explores the history of epidemiology from the mid-twentieth century to the present. Epidemiology has exerted major influence on the way that both infectious and chronic diseases are conceptualized and controlled, and, more generally, on the way that people in modern societies think about health, behavior, longevity, and risk. This collection consists of a series of in-depth analyses of the roots, development, and impact of epidemiological research, illuminating the complex relationship between medical research and data on the one hand, and social and cultural factors on the other. The thematical and geographical scope of the book ranges from indigenous and participant perspectives to the visualization of pandemics, and from Circumpolar North to East Africa. The book identifies significant historical changes and the driving forces behind them, charting forms of science-society interaction that characterize modern epidemiology.Chapter 1 and chapter 4 are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.

Although the environment has long been recognized as a key factor for human health, the linkages between infectious diseases and urban environments are not well known. Consideration of infectious disease prevention and control in contemporary urban planning has largely been neglected. The proposed book discusses in a multidisciplinary manner the role of urban living environments and prevention of infectious disease epidemic and thus, pandemic outbreaks in history and presently, in the post-Covid era. From historical studies of urban outbreaks to present issues and charting pathways into the future urban planning, the edited book curates a collection of timely research from the fields of environmental research, environmental health, health history, information studies, public health, and urban planning. The book offers research-based insights into the linkages between urban living environments and human health, serving as inspiration for researchers, students and professionals.
