About the book

Healthy city policies can help to reduce health disparities between people. But what exactly is a healthy environment, how does knowledge about the healthy city come about and what knowledge counts? In “Gezonde Stad” Horstman and Knibbe write about health as a public issue. Central are the experiences of people whose voices are rearly heard in urban policy: they form the basis for a perspective on public space.
