PPC 504 - Social - Urban Policy and Development

3
This course examines the areas of policy that together affect the health of communities - healthcare and prevention, education, employment, crime, housing, urban land-use and planning, environmental preservation, sustainable and economic development. Together these areas of policy share a common concern with promoting health in the world and improving living conditions in all societies. With the majority of humans living in or moving to cities there is a focus on the urban area and students learn about both the opportunities and challenges in creating healthy urban communities that are sustainable and socially - economically - and politically inclusive.
