本文以1871年成立的英国国家卫生学会(National Health Society)发表的年度报告及其与大都会公共花园和游乐场协会(Metropolitan Public Gardens and Playgrounds Association)的密切关系为基础,探讨以该学会为代表的卫生学家和卫生专业人士在19世纪70年代和80年代伦敦公园运动中所表达的话语。通过分析社会的这一特殊方面,将探讨医疗专业人员,卫生工作者和上层阶级的慈善成员之间的联系,与城市公园运动。健康的概念,作为一个国家实现通过物理环境和个人行为的双重组合也将讨论,最近的评论家,如南希汤姆斯,H. L.的工作的基础上。Malchow,Felix Driver,Martin Gaskell和Peter Thorsheim。最后,我们将讨论禁酒运动、国家健康协会和城市绿色空间作为健康场所的理念之间的相互关系。这种方法将展示命名的医疗从业者的重要影响,以及他们对健康和疾病的方法,对大多数英国人现在居住的城市结构的设计。(C)2012 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
Drawing upon the published annual reports of the National Health Society (established in 1871) and its intimate relationship with the Metropolitan Public Gardens and Playgrounds Association, this paper will explore the discourses expressed by the sanitarians and health professionals represented by the Society in relation to the parks movement in London in the 1870s and 1880s. By analysing this particular aspect of the Society, the connections between medical professionals, sanitarians and philanthropic members of the upper classes in relation to the urban parks movement will be explored. Notions of health as a state achieved through the dual combination of the physical environment and the behaviour of the individual will also be discussed, building on the work of recent commentators such as Nancy Tomes, H.L. Malchow, Felix Driver, Martin Gaskell and Peter Thorsheim. Finally, the inter-relationships between the temperance movement, the National Health Society, and the idea of urban green spaces as places of health will be drawn out. This approach will demonstrate the important influence of named medical practitioners, and their approaches regarding health and disease, on the design of the urban fabric in which the majority of Britons now live.
