The Built Environment and Public Health by Russell P Lopez

This text combines an examination of how the physical environment affects our health with a description of how public health and urban planning can work together to create environments that improve human health and well-being.

“An exceptional book for professionals and students alikePlanning, community health, and design issues are nested in well structured sections. The author does an incredibly good job documenting the sources of both historical and contemporary aspects of such a wide ranging subject matter.” —Robert Voigt, in Civic Blogger

“Written in an easy-to-understand style, The Built Environment and Public Health by Russell P. Lopez contains a wealth of information. The data supplied substantiate the author’s concern that public health is definitely affected by the environment that we have built for ourselves… a must-read for all who work in public health.” —Dorothea M. Volzer, MFA, in Florida Journal of Environmental Health
