Urban Health and Development Planning Strategies 1 (DEVP0045)

Urban Health and Development Planning Strategies (DEVP0045 PART I)

This module aims to equip students with an in-depth understanding of the key concepts, questions and themes surrounding urban health in a rapidly urbanizing world. In doing so, the module explores the relationship between urban living and health across a number of pressing issues, ranging from urbanization to planning and governance, poverty and inequality, disasters and climate change, transport and globalisation. Gender and sustainability are cross-cutting themes. A comparative perspective is developed through the investigation of city case studies, enabling students to explore the urban dimensions of health within and across different contexts.

On completion of the module, participants will have knowledge of:

The interface between specific urban elements (such as infrastructure and governance) and their effect on the health of individuals and communities in cities, thinking specifically about gender dynamics
	The relationship between urbanization and health, and the centrality of planning and governance in mediating this relationship
	The different conceptual and analytical frameworks for understanding and improving urban health, with a focus on the SDOH approach
