Today, cities are the dominant human habitat, where a large number of environmental, social, cultural and economic factors have impacts on human health and wellbeing. Cities consist of complex, dynamic, socio-ecological, and technological systems that serve multiple functions in human health and wellbeing. Currently half of Asia’s population is urban, and that figure is expected to rise to 66 percent by 2050. Since urban areas are often most vulnerable to hazards, the people living in them need good health infrastructure facilities and technological support at various scales. As such, the need of the hour is to enhance the adaptive capacity, strengthen resilience, reduce vulnerability, and take risk mitigation measures in urban areas, which requires a systematic approach based on science–policy interface that istransformative, trans-disciplinary and integrative for a sustainable urban future. Global sustainable development goals are closely tied to urban human health and wellbeing: (1) the third of the United N | | 出版日期 | Book 2020 | | 关键词 | Urban health and wellbeing; Urban vulnerability; Risk mitigation; Urban Resilience in Asia; Asian cities | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-15-1205-6 | | isbn_softcover | 978-981-15-1207-0 | | isbn_ebook | 978-981-15-1205-6Series ISSN 2198-3542 Series E-ISSN 2198-3550 | | issn_series | 2198-3542 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapor |
