Slum health : from the cell to the street

Corburn, Jason, editor, Riley, Lee W., editor

نظرة عامة

\"Urban slum dwellers--especially in emerging-economy cities--are often poor, live in squalor, and suffer unnecessarily from disease, disability, premature death, and poor life expectancy. Yet living in a city can and should be healthy. Slum Health highlights why and how slums can be unhealthy, reveals that not all slums are equal in terms of the hazards and health issues faced by residents, and suggests how slum dwellers, scientists, and social movements can come together to make slum life safer, more just, and healthier. Editors Jason Corburn and Lee Riley argue that both new biologic and \"street\" science--or valuing professional and lay knowledge--are crucial for improving the well-being of the millions of urban poor living in slums.\"--Provided by publisher.
