The WHO "healthy cities" concept is discussed with particular reference to initiatives taken in Rennes, France. An outline is given of the collaboration between cities, both nationally and internationally, in efforts to achieve the health-for-all goals.
In order to clarify the housing and settlements component of the European health-for-all programme and to identify perceived priorities with a view to the preparation of training materials, members of WHO's Rural and Urban Development and Housing Network were invited to complete a questionnaire. The results are reported below. The questionnaire can be used in identifying local development priorities, comparing attitudes, and studying perceived needs. Intended as a tool for policy-makers, course organizers and public health professionals, it is available from the authors of the present article.
In the former GDR, a series of central regulations governed the sanitary and hygienic aspects of town planning and building construction. Special analysis of the hygienic aspects of town planning was of particular importance and was performed by a standardised method by the planning authorities. In such an analysis both the existing hygienic conditions in an area to be built up or reconstructed had be included, as well as the planned hygienic conditions after putting the building measures into practice. The complicated way of planning and the possibility of rejecting hygienic considerations in favour of political decisions proved to be an obstacle to quick and hygienically satisfactory realisation of planned investments.
