Healthy city planning means seeking ways to eliminate the deep and persistent inequities that plague cities. Yet, as Jason Corburn argues in this book, neither city planning nor public health is currently organized to ensure that today’s cities will be equitable and healthy. Having made the case for what he calls ‘adaptive urban health justice’ in the opening chapter, Corburn briefly reviews the key events, actors, ideologies, institutions and policies that shaped and reshaped the urban public health and planning from the nineteenth century to the present day. He uses two frames to organize this historical review: the view of the city as a field site and as a laboratory. In the second part of the book Corburn uses in-depth case studies of health and planning activities in Rio de Janeiro, Nairobi, and Richmond, California to explore the institutions, policies and practices that constitute healthy city planning. These case studies personify some of the characteristics of his ideal of adaptive urban health justice. Each begins with an historical review of the place, its policies and social movements around urban development and public health, and each is an example of the urban poor participating in, shaping, and being impacted by healthy city planning.

Urban slum dwellers - especially in emerging-economy countries - are often poor, live in squalor, and suffer unnecessarily from disease, disability, premature death, and reduced life expectancy. Yet living in a city can and should be healthy. Slum Health exposes how and why slums can be unhealthy; reveals that not all slums are equal in terms of the hazards and health issues faced by residents; and suggests how slum dwellers, scientists, and social movements can come together to make slum life safer, more just, and healthier. Editors Jason Corburn and Lee Riley argue that valuing both new biologic and "street" science-professional and lay knowledge-is crucial for improving the well-being of the millions of urban poor living in slums.

While the fields of modern city planning and public health emerged together in the nineteenth century to address urban inequities and infectious diseases, they were largely disconnected for much of the twentieth century. In the twenty-first century, planning and public health are reconnecting to address the new health challenges of urbanization and globalization: from racial and ethnic disparities to land-use sprawl, to providing basic services to the millions of urban poor around the world living in informal slum settlements.Reconnecting the fields of planning and public health to address these and other twenty-first-century urban health challenges is the focus of this new four-volume collection from Routledge. It brings together the very best foundational and cutting-edge research and scholarship.

What if cities around the world actively worked to promote the health and healing of all of their residents? Citiescontribute to the traumas that cause unhealthy stress, with segregated neighborhoods, insecure housing, fewplaygrounds, environmental pollution, and unsafe streets, particularly for the poor and residents who are Black,Indigenous, and People of Color.Some cities around the world are already helping their communities heal by investing more in peacemaking and parksthan in policing; focusing on community decision-making instead of data surveillance; changing regulations to permitmore libraries than liquor stores; and building more affordable housing than highways. These cities are declaring racism apublic health and climate change crisis, and taking the lead in generating equitable outcomes.In Cities for Life, public health expert Jason Corburn shares lessons from three of these cities: Richmond, California;Medellín, Colombia; and Nairobi, Kenya. Corburn draws from his work with citizens, activists, and decision-makers inthese cities over a ten-year period, as individuals and communities worked to heal from trauma—from gun violence,housing and food insecurity, and poverty. Corburn shows how any community can rebuild their social institutions, practices, and policies to be more focused on healing and health. This means not only centering those most traumatized indecision-making, Corburn explains, but confronting historically discriminatory, exclusionary, and racist urbaninstitutions, and promoting healing-focused practices, place-making, and public policies.Cities for Life is essential reading for urban planning, design, healthcare, and public health professionals as they work toreverse entrenched institutional practices through new policies, rules, norms, and laws that address their damage andpromote health and healing.
