Planetary Health and Health Promotion
A healthy city is not a new term.
1.1 Urban settlement can be viewed as a human ecosystem, where both the human-modified physical environment and the social, economic, cultural, and political environment are important components.
1.2 Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson and Ebenezer Howard contributed on creating the concept of Garden Cities and how to improve the health of urban residents.
1.3 WHO/Europe Healthy Cities Project and Ottawa Charter are remarkable milestones of the idea of healthy cities.
The concept of Healthy Cities is developing over time and new requirements are added.
2.1 Cities are managed under municipal governments.
2.2 The importance of the power of shared vision is from the fact that municipal department and each sector in the community has its own agenda and priorities.
2.3 Intersectoral collaboration requires the engagement from stakeholders at the leadership level and at the community level.
In an urban world, the Healthy Cities and Communities should be a major strategy for health promotion.
3.1 The relationship between "healthy" and "sustainable" cities has been a buzz word for a long time, but it needs more attention and guidance for action.
3.2 The ecological footprint (ET) measures the amount of bio-productive land and sea needed to maintain our current life style.
3.2.1 ET is an important factor of how our behaviours affect the earth.
The physical and built environment impacts human health.
4.1 Epidemics have transformed our built environment because of the fear of infection (e.g. Covid-19).
4.2 Although the current global epidemic poses a challenge at all levels in the built environment, it will take time to develop an antivirus-enabled paradigm to reduce the potential risks or stop the virus from spreading.
Sustainable development goals are essential for health promotion.
5.1 The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) lay the foundations for supporting global health and international development work
5.2 The Ottawa Charter defined health promotion and outlined key principles for global action on health, including the importance of advocating, enabling and mediating for health equity.
5.2 Empowering people and communities to take control of their own health is a key component of health promotion.
