Urban Health is a public health field that focuses on the health challenges and opportunities associated with urban living. Rapid urbanization influences population health through factors such as housing quality, air pollution, transportation systems, access to healthcare, employment, and social inequality. Urban populations may face higher risks of non-communicable diseases, injuries, mental health conditions, and environmental health hazards, alongside benefits such as better access to services. Urban health emphasizes addressing social determinants of health, reducing health inequities, and improving living conditions in cities. Public health strategies include urban planning for healthy environments, improved sanitation, active transport, and community-based interventions. By promoting inclusive policies and sustainable urban development, urban health initiatives support healthier cities, improved quality of life, and resilient urban communities.
