Healthy Urban Environments (eBook, ePUB)

More-than-Human Theories

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Set in the human-environment interaction space, this book applies new theoretical insights to health in urban environments. It stems from increasing interest in the creation of healthy settings and liveable cities, which aim to improve equity and sustainability in urban environments, but do so with theoretically simplistic and unimaginative models. Conceptually and practically, the book is situated at the intersection of human geography, health promotion and design of urban environments. In particular the book turns its attention to socio-ecological models of health and expands and reframes these use ideas from more-than-human theory. As a practical contribution, it then directs these ideas towards reinvigorating health promotion and urban design.
