What is a healthy place? Models for cities and neighbourhoods

Abstract

What is a healthy place? Focusing on the scale of the neighbourhood and city, this paper outlines six overlapping types of environments that chart the range of current thinking: healthy built environments, collaborative healthy cities, age-friendly/all-age communities, child-friendly communities, healthcare industrial cities, and smart health environments. The first three are based on a public health perspective and the fourth on child development concepts, with a comprehensive view. The last two deal mainly with the economy, personal information, and behaviour. If combined with the others, however, they might increase public interest and aid health monitoring and evaluation.
