Abstract
Most people in the world live in cities and the trend toward urban living is only going to accelerate in coming decades. Features of cities represent in many ways the only truly ubiquitous population exposure, a set of “causes of causes” that are shared by most people in the world. At the same time, cities are often misunderstood, and there is confusion about what exactly is a “city” worldwide. Cities include both the urban core and the suburban areas where most people live. This chapter introduces the reader to what cities are, presenting the demographic data that can ground the subsequent discussion of how features of cities affect health.
