Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers municipalities a plan to overhaul building codes and infrastructure to prevent disease and death in cities. The author provides data from exhaustive research, including testimony from experts like sanitation engineers, public health officials, and physicians. The book demonstrates that there is a deeply troubling negative correlation between poor health, environmental factors, and poverty. The author argues that illness is not simply a product of biology and germs, but of one's socioeconomic standing. The book examines in detail the impact of inadequate drainage, sewerage, and water quality on the health of the most vulnerable populations in cities and provides a path forward. The bookâs significance lies in its distillation of a massive government report that will enable local officials to adopt proven methods of integrating urban planning, sanitation, and public health initiatives to create cities that are healthier for all.
