As global populations rapidly consolidate around urban centers, the scientific understanding of what this means for human health faces a new and greater urgency. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eUrban Health \u003c\/em\u003econnects urban exposures -- the experiences, choices, and behaviors shaped by living in a city -- to their impact on population health. By using the ubiquitous aspects of the urban experience as a lens to study these exposures across borders and demographics, it offers a new, scalable framework for understanding health and disease. Its applications to public health, epidemiology, and social science are virtually unlimited. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEnriched with case studies that consider the state of health in cities all over the world, this book does more than capture the state of a nascent field; it holds a critical mirror to itself, considering the next decade and arming a new generation with the tools for research and practice.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47889359831191,"sku":"9780190915858","price":10491.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780190915858.webp?v=1781176048","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/urban-health-9780190915858","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
