   Kommentar:

This course is designed to acquaint students with the key principles of sustainable urban health and to identify the relationships and interfaces between health professionals, urban planners and developers using real-world examples. It is increasingly recognized that the design of urban space and residential environment does not only involve topics of spatial and urban planning but is also strongly connected with environmental, social and health aspects. According to the WHO, health-focused urban design can help to decrease the burden of non-communicable diseases by promoting healthy lifestyles and making cities climate friendly and resilient.

Therefore the aim of this course is to enable students to gain knowledge about the main concepts and instruments in urban health.

Theoretical parts of the seminar will include an introduction to:

  • supportive environments for health according to the Ottawa Charta and Health in All Policy (HiAP)
  • key principles of urban health
  • (health) indicators
  • (small scale) health reporting and mapping

Practical tasks will include:

  • mapping different urban and health indicators in ArcGIS
  • heath reporting and identification of main health problems in different urban areas

Course format

The course will be a combination of classical lectures, invited talks and practical elements.

Prerequisites

Students should be familiar with ArcGIS or similar mapping tools.
