城市化长期以来一直与人类发展和进步有关，但最近的研究表明，城市环境也可能导致严重的不平等和健康问题。本文件关注城市化对发达国家和发展中国家以及这些国家内的富裕人口和贫困人口的不利影响，解决与城市地区公共卫生问题有关的问题。本文件的讨论将对决策者有意义。该文件倡导改善城市穷人的社会经济条件和促进他们更好的健康的政策。此外，这一讨论还鼓励富裕的人民和国家更好地了解在其区域没有必要的社会支持和基础设施的情况下发生城市化时可能出现的挑战。
Urbanization has long been associated with human development and progress, but recent studies have shown that urban settings can also lead to significant inequalities and health problems. This paper is concerned with the adverse impact of urbanization on both developed and developing nations and both wealthy and poor populations within those nations, addressing issues associated with public health problems in urban areas. The discussion in this paper will be of interest to policy makers. The paper advocates policies that improve the socio-economic conditions of the urban poor and promote their better health. Further, this discussion encourages wealthy people and nations to become better informed about the challenges that may arise when urbanization occurs in their regions without the required social supports and infrastructure.
