Urban transformations and public health in the emergent city examines how urban health and wellbeing are shaped by migration, mobility, racism, sanitation and gender. Adopting a global focus that spans Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America, the essays in this volume bring together a wide selection of voices that explore the interface between social, medical and natural sciences. Moving beyond traditional approaches to urban research, this interdisciplinary approach offers a unique perspective on today's cities and the challenges they face. Edited by Michael Keith and Andreza Aruska de Souza Santos, this volume also features contributions from leading thinkers on cities in Brazil, China, South Africa and the United Kingdom. This geographic diversity is matched by the breadth of their different fields, from mental health and gendered violence to sanitation and food systems. Together, they present a complex yet connected vision of a 'new biopolitics' in today's metropolis, one that requires an innovative approach to urban scholarship regardless of geography or discipline. With chapters from a number of renowned authors including former Deputy Mayor of Rio de Janeiro Luiz Eduardo Soares, this volume is an important resource for anyone seeking to better understand the dynamics of urban change. Through a focus on the everyday realities of urban living, from health services to public transportation, the contributors offer valuable lessons for academics, policy makers and practitioners alike.Human geographybicsscPersonal & public healthbicsscUrban & municipal planningbicsscBrazilbicsscurban transformationmental healthviolence against women and girls (VAWG)mobilitysanitationfoodracismHuman geographyPersonal & public healthUrban & municipal planningBrazil362.1042Keith Michael, edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtSantos Andreza Aruska de Souza, edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996552359403316Urban transformations and public health in the emergent city3601913UNISA
