英国和全球北方其他地区的反肥胖政策越来越重视城市建成环境，这是从个人责任模式向关注所谓的“肥胖环境”转变的一部分。尽管最近的政策呼吁城市设计和规划专业人士根除肥胖症，但围绕体型、城市设计和健康之间的关系的科学仍存在重大不确定性，而且几乎没有确切的证据表明什么是有效的。因此，在这篇文章中，我们概述了肥胖的关键地理位置和城市地理位置之间的联系，以质疑肥胖与城市建成环境相关的框架和政治化方式。
There has been increasing emphasis on the built urban environment within anti‐obesity policy in the UK and elsewhere in the global north as part of a shift away from a model of individual responsibility to focus on so‐called ‘obesogenic environments’. While recent policy has called for urban design and planning professionals to eradicate obesity there is, however, significant uncertainty in the science surrounding the relationship between body size, urban design and health and little definitive evidence about what works. In this paper, we therefore outline connections between critical geographies of obesity and urban geographies in order to question the ways in which obesity is framed and politicised in relation to the urban built environment.
