Abstract

Urban planning and public health are main fields of action when looking at urban development from a health perspective. In both fields of action, politics and administration as well as urban initiatives play a formative role. Action is oriented towards common overarching themes of sustainability, social justice and environmental justice. These commonalities are reflected in different memoranda. Despite the common basis of urban planning and health, there are areas of tension that are rooted, among other things, in different legal frameworks and logic of action. Against this complex background, recommendations are formulated for science, the funding landscape, practice as well as education and training in these areas.
