Women and men play different roles, frequent different public areas, and face different health risks. Women suffer disproportionately from disease, injury, and violence because their access to resources is often more limited than that of their male counterparts. Yet, when women are healthy and safe, so are their families and communities. Urban policy makers and public health professionals need to understand how conditions in densely populated places can help or harm the well-being of women in order to serve this large segment of humanity. Women's Health and the World's Cities illuminates the intersection of gender, health, and urban environments. This collection of essays examines the impact of urban living on the physical and psychological states of women and girls in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the United States. Urban planners, scholars, medical practitioners, and activists present original research and compelling ideas. They consider the specific needs of subpopulations of urban women and evaluate strategies for designing spaces, services, and infrastructure in ways that promote women's health. Women's Health and the World's Cities provides urban planners and public health care providers with on-the-ground examples of projects and policies that have changed women's lives for the better. 410 0$aCity in the twenty-first century book series. 606 $aUrban women$xHealth and hygiene 606 $aUrban women$xSocial conditions 606 $aUrban health 606 $aWomen's health services 606 $aUrbanization$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aUrbanization$xSocial aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aUrban women$xHealth and hygiene. 615 0$aUrban women$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aUrban health. 615 0$aWomen's health services. 615 0$aUrbanization$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aUrbanization$xSocial aspects. 676 $a362.1082 702 $aBirch$b Eugenie L. 702 $aMeleis$b Afaf Ibrahim 702 $aWachter$b Susan M. 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463863903321 996 $aWomen's Health and the World's Cities$92486507 997 $aUNINA
