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.

城市的现在和未来
世界上大多数人生活在城市里,未来几十年城市生活的趋势只会加速。城市的特征在很多方面代表了唯一真正普遍存在的人口暴露,这是世界上大多数人都有的一系列“原因”。与此同时,城市经常被误解,人们对世界范围内的“城市”究竟是什么感到困惑。城市既包括城市核心区,也包括大多数人居住的郊区。本章向读者介绍了什么是城市,提供了人口统计数据,这些数据可以为随后讨论城市特征如何影响健康奠定基础。
