Концепция городского здоровья как основа для социально-экономического развития городов

С. 22–25.

This study proposes to analyze the concept of urban health as a basis for urban development. This topic has become especially relevant since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has had a particularly powerful negative effect on city residents. To be prepared for similar threats in the future, it is necessary to develop cities considering possible risks to the health of citizens. This idea is most fully reflected by the theory of urban health by D. Vlahov, who proposed considering this issue in the logic of the supply generated by urban services. The key factor is the extent to which the urban economy favors a healthy lifestyle or, conversely, provides opportunities for acquiring and maintaining bad habits and a sedentary lifestyle. This approach allows us to go beyond the more usual ideas about urban health as a derivative solely of ecology. To assess urban health, indices based on the UN Sustainable Development Goals can be used.
