Abstract | 'Healthy City, Healthy Landscape' concerns how the built environment and urban landscapes can influence the psychological, physiological, and social health of individuals and lead to more sustainable cities. Through planning and designing physical spaces and landscapes, we can promote healthy and sustainable lifestyles and create clean, safe, pleasant, and equitable environments for people. Two important statements serve as the foundation for 'Healthy City, Healthy Landscape.' First, in 1948, the World Health Center defined health as 'a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.' Second, in 1992, the United Nations published the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development and claimed 'Human beings are at the centre of concerns for sustainable development. They are entitled to a healthy and productive life in harmony with nature.' These statements provide justification for our work. |
