Cities Under Pressure: Addressing Urban Health Threats in the Era of Industrialisation and Sustainable Development Goals
Abstract
Rapid urbanisation, fueled by population growth and industrialisation, poses significant threats to public health, particularly in densely populated areas. This chapter explores the interplay of pollution, overcrowding, and industrial activities in exacerbating health disparities in urban settings. Drawing from evidence-based research and case studies, the chapter highlights innovative approaches to mitigating urban health risks, including green infrastructure, integrative health interventions, and policy reform. The chapter also examines how sustainable urban planning and community-driven initiatives can align with SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), emphasising the need for equitable, resilient urban health systems.
