Healthy and Liveable Cities

What makes a modern city worth living in? What keeps its inhabitants healthy and creates quality of life? What role do design and culture play in the design of these cities? These were some of the questions explored by participants of the workshop "Healthy and Liveable Cities". The book collects selected essays, shows case studies and considers methodological ideas from a wide range of areas such as environmental medicine, urban sociology, community research, design research, landscape planning and literature and cultural studies.
