Criza sistemului de sănătate, începută încă din anii '80, sa acutizat în anii '90. În anul 1997 a fost iniţiată reforma asigurărilor de sănătate caracterizată prin descentralizare şi trecere de la ...

What is less well understood, however, is how to deliver the potential health benefits and how to ensure that they reach all citizens in urban areas across the world. This task is becoming increasingly important because most of the world's population already live in cities, and, with high rates of urbanisation, many millions more will soon do so in the coming decades.

higher-income than in lower-income countries,... more Although health outcomes are, on average, better in
higher-income than in lower-income countries, urban
health outcomes in specifi c cities cannot be assumed to
improve with economic growth and demographic
change. The so-called urban advantage—a term that
encapsulates the health benefi ts of living in urban as
opposed to rural areas—has to be actively created and
maintained through policy interventions. Furthermore,
average levels of health hide the eff ect of socioeconomic
inequality within urban areas. Rich and poor people live
in very diff erent epidemiological worlds, even within the
same city. And such disparity occurs in both high-income
and low-income countries.
Through case studies of sanitation and wastewater
management, urban mobility, building standards and
indoor air quality, the urban heat island eff ect (the
diff erence in average temperatures between city
centres and the surrounding countryside), and urban agriculture, we draw attention to the complexities
involved in the achievement of urban health improvement
through urban planning policies. Complexity
thinking stresses that the development of a plan that
anticipates all future change for these issues will not be
possible. Instead, incremental attempts to reach a goal
need to be tried and tested.

This article examines the informal forms of self-organization that arise among the migrants in order to manage the challenges migrants face under a ...
