Journal Title: Vajira Medical Journal: Journal of Urban Medicine - Year 2024, Vol 68, Issue 4
Abstract
The current situation is of a population shift from rural to urban areas and is the acceleration of urban growth. In this perspective, comprehending how urbanization has affected human health is critical. Hence, the aim of a synthesized review is the current understanding of urban health themes and urban factors associated with health. The most common topics of concern that emerge from the urban health literature can be summarized in three principal themes: social environment, physical environment, and provision of health and social services. Additionally, the results from our review aim to serve as a springboard for a thorough investigation of urban factors associated with health and their causes to improve predictions of the global health burden, influence health system planning and policy, and direct urban design.
