Unhealthy Places: The Ecology of Risk in the Urban Landscape Summary
| Unhealthy Places focuses on issues of health in today's cities. By arguing that 'place matters' in relation to the population's health, Kevin Fitzpatrick and Mark LaGory make a convincing argument about the general unhealthiness of urban environments and thus, of the urban dweller. The authors offer a place-oriented approach to health and cover such topics as: * the ecology of everyday urban life * the sociology of health * needs and risks of the socially disadvantaged * needs and risks of children and the elderly in cities * strategies for better health services in urban environments. |
