This book covers the nexus between urban health, sustainability, and
peace. 'Urban Health, Sustainability, and Peace' is the first book
that attempts to put these three critical areas together. This novelty
approaches the subject matter by delving into evaluating what works,
what does not work, and what should be done to achieve healthy cities.
We believe this book will be beneficial to a wide range of
stakeholders, particularly policymakers, planners, and developers, who
continuously shape and reshape the structure and environments of our
cities and communities. Unfortunately, in most cases, the healthiness
of the cities may not be of their immediate concern. Nevertheless, it
is the concern of the end-users, citizens, or simply those who live
and work in cities and communities worldwide. To safeguard peace in
cities, one has to consider sustaining urban health; and that is the
main aim of this book. The ongoing pandemic gives us an excellent
reason to study cities' health. During such a disruptive time, we
detect many flaws in cities and communities around the world. We
primarily identify the negative impacts on sustainability and peace in
cities. In order to sustain a healthy city, this book evaluates six
sustainability dimensions of physical, environmental, economic,
social, institutional, and technical. It then utilizes eight primary
dimensions of positive peace, evaluating critical areas for future
considerations in urbanism. These considerations include making cities
smarter, more resilient, and more sustainable. The book's ultimate
goal is to highlight how we should progress to maintain and sustain
urban health. As a continuation to 'The City in Need,', this book
covers the nexus between urban health, sustainability, and peace.
Furthermore, by reflecting on the ongoing pandemic crisis,
metaphorically labelled as 'The Day the World Stopped,', we delve into
some key areas beyond the usual planning and policy guidelines.
Lastly, thebook intends to highlight what has not been studied before,
i.e., the relationship between urban health, sustainability, and
peace.
