规划不良的城市化对人口健康有哪些影响？了解城市健康、城市带来的风险、健康影响和城市社会关系有助于城市规划者决定将预防干预措施的目标放在哪里。我们进行了定性描述性分析研究的基础上的文件分析和文献回顾，探讨城市化和城市健康之间的关系，重点是埃及伊蚊传播的疾病。我们的研究结果表明，环境退化和基础设施不足对人类健康构成严重威胁，因为在垃圾场和填埋场处置废物可能导致接触危险化学品。此外，城市基础设施和卫生设施不足，有利于水媒疾病的传播和其他疾病病媒的繁殖，如负责传播虫媒病毒（登革热、基孔肯雅病和寨卡病毒）的埃及伊蚊。因此，对环境和城市健康的研究为改善城市居民的生活质量和制定旨在预防与无计划城市化有关的疾病的措施奠定了重要基础。
What are the repercussions of poorly planned urbanization for population health? Understanding urban health, the risks posed by cities, health repercussions, and urban social relations helps urban planners to decide where to target prevention interventions. We conducted a qualitative descriptive analytical study based on a document analysis and bibliographical review to explore the relationship between urbanization and urban health, focusing on diseases transmitted by the mosquito Aedes aegypti. Our findings show that environmental degradation and inadequate infrastructure pose a serious risk to human health, insofar as the disposal of waste in dumps and landfills can cause exposure to hazardous chemicals. In addition, inadequate urban infrastructure and sanitation is conducive to the transmission of water-borne diseases and the reproduction of vectors of other diseases such as Aedes aegypti, responsible for the transmission of arboviruses (dengue, chikungunya, and Zika). Research on environmental and urban health therefore provides an important foundation for improving the quality of life of people living in cities and developing measures designed to prevent diseases related to unplanned urbanization.
