Description:
The overall purpose of this course is to provide a broad understanding of urban health research and practice. The course will integrate conceptual frameworks and approaches used in urban health with practical examples that participants can identify in their everyday practice, through discussion and reflections from a transdisciplinary perspective. Participants in this course can come from a variety of disciplines including public health, health care, urban planning, engineering, sociology, anthropology, as well as community stakeholders interested in understanding the connections between urban environments and population health. Students will receive instruction through lectures, group discussions and group projects. Although not mandatory, attendees are encouraged to bring their own project ideas and develop them throughout the course.
At the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Understand frameworks and evidence for urban environment-health relations and the multiple levels of factors that may influence health.
- Understand, compare, and contrast leading urban health problems in domestic and global settings.
- Evaluate the relationship between health issues and the policies intended to reduce them.
- Develop recommendations for urban setting-based interventions that promote public health.
