Cities and Sickness: Health Care in Urban America

For too long, urban studies and health studies have taken different paths in their development, each area of research bypassing the other. This volume argues that in a society where the metropolis dominates it is clearly a sterile view only to see health, illness, prevention and care outside of the urban context. The Greers have encouraged contributors from a variety of academic and professional disciplines to focus on the effect of cities on health, and the effect of health on city policy: opinions are drawn from economics, sociology, political science and health care planning.Greer, Ann L. is the author of 'Cities and Sickness: Health Care in Urban America' with ISBN 9780803921283 and ISBN 0803921284.
