Urban Health Matters
WHY URBAN HEALTH MATTERS
Urbanization and health
• Virtually all population
growth will be in urban
areas over the next 30
years.
• Global poverty is
concentrating in cities.
• Urbanization can have
positive and negative
impacts on health.
• Action is needed now to
ensure cities are safe and
healthy.
This year ...
• 1 billion people will wake up in
an urban slum.
• 60% of UB population live in
periurban slums
• 170 million urban residents will
not have access to a latrine.
• 60% of UB ger population have
unhygienic latrine
• Nearly 1.2 million people will
die from urban air pollution.
Slums are often in regions with fewer
resources
• Urban Slum Incidence, 2001
Urban settings and health
Cities confronted by a triple threat:
• infectious diseases exacerbated by poor
living conditions;
• noncommunicable diseases and
conditions fueled by tobacco use,
• unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, and
harmful use of alcohol; and injuries, road
accidents, violence and crime.
Housing and living conditions
• Inadequate, overcrowded or
deteriorating housing
increases the health risks from
environmental hazards,
violence and crime, and is
associated with
• injuries,
• respiratory problems,
• infectious diseases, and
• mental health problems.
Impacts of access on urban diet
• Insufficient intake of fruits and
vegetables by urban residents
reported by half of the world's
countries (World Health
Survey, 2003).
• Urban poor in the developed
and developing world often
rely on street food, fast food,
processed and cheap food.
• This contributes to
vitamin/mineral deficiencies,
obesity, diabetes,
cardiovascular problems, and
dental problems.
Climate change
• Cities contribute to more
than 60% of greenhouse gas
emissions.
• Cities account for 75% of
energy consumption and
similar portion of all wastes.
• City dwellers are especially
vulnerable to consequences
of climate change – heat
waves, increasing levels of
air pollution, rising sea levels
in coastal areas.
