“…8 However, the economic, social, and health gains arising from the processes of globalization and urbanization have been unevenly spread between and within countries. [31][32][33] This is underpinned by the unequal distribution within and across national borders of gains, losses, and ability to influence outcomes. Increasingly, local decisions on issues such as economics, employment, health care, and food supply have been influenced by global conditions and factors.…”

Urban living is the new reality for the majority of the world's population. Urban change is taking place in a context of other global challenges--economic globalization, climate change, financial crises, energy and food insecurity, old and emerging armed conflicts, as well as the changing patterns of communicable and noncommunicable diseases. These health and social problems, in countries with different levels of infrastructure and health system preparedness, pose significant development challenges in the 21st century. In all countries, rich and poor, the move to urban living has been both good and bad for population health, and has contributed to the unequal distribution of health both within countries (the urban-rural divide) and within cities (the rich-poor divide). In this series of papers, we demonstrate that urban planning and design and urban social conditions can be good or bad for human health and health equity depending on how they are set up. We argue that climate change mitigation and adaptation need to go hand-in-hand with efforts to achieve health equity through action in the social determinants. And we highlight how different forms of governance can shape agendas, policies, and programs in ways that are inclusive and health-promoting or perpetuate social exclusion, inequitable distribution of resources, and the inequities in health associated with that. While today we can describe many of the features of a healthy and sustainable city, and the governance and planning processes needed to achieve these ends, there is still much to learn, especially with respect to tailoring these concepts and applying them in the cities of lower- and middle-income countries. By outlining an integrated research agenda, we aim to assist researchers, policy makers, service providers, and funding bodies/donors to better support, coordinate, and undertake research that is organized around a conceptual framework that positions health, equity, and sustainability as central policy goals for urban management.

“…However, the ways in which these influences are played out in particular places and circumstances is intricate and complex. Theoretical and empirical evidence on the linkages between globalisation and health is limited but accumulating (Lee 2001, Labonte and Torgerson 2005, Labonte and Schrecker 2006, and does emphasise a number of impacts on children's health and in some cases, exposure to injury (McMichael 2000, Baum 2001, Lee 2001, Roberts 2004.…”

The importance of child injuries has now been recognised as a significant public health problem internationally. The World Health Organisation (WHO) and United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) have recently published the first world report on child injury prevention. As infectious diseases decline, the relative importance of injury has increased, but the pace of change of global processes means that absolute increases in injury may occur over the next 20-30 years. This paper examines child injury in a changing world by outlining the ways in which the forces of globalisation, urbanisation, motorisation and environmental change could have an impact on injury epidemiology and policy. We consider how those in public health and those in the injury field should respond to the changing world of injury. Child injury prevention needs to be incorporated into planning for the rapidly changing urban environments of low-income countries and strategies devised for the large numbers of people displaced by environmental change.

“…In tal senso, svariate raccomandazioni vengono formulate perché da un lato l'architettura accademica si faccia più 'accogliente' per forme non tradizionali, ma socialmente valide, di ricerca, scrittura e divulgazione; dall'altro perché gli accademici inclini all'attivismo trovino stili e modalità di condivisione adatte alla fruizione sociale delle loro ricerche. (YOUNG;BATTAGLIA;CLOUD, 2010;WOODHOUSE et al, 2002;BAUM;MACDOUGALL;SMITH, 2006) 155 154…”

“…La capacità di un ricercatore di impegnarsi realmente con le comunità per generare un cambiamento nella loro situazione o nel loro stato di salute non è affatto presa in considerazione in questa valutazione basata esclusivamente su indici bibliometrici. (BAUM;MACDOUGALL;SMITH 2006) Con questo discorso non si vuole affatto sminuire il ruolo o l'importanza delle metodologie tradizionali di ricerca, ma sottolineare la necessità di affiancare ad esse anche un altro tipo di ricerca che coniughi la generazione di conoscenza con l'azione e il cambiamento e che, parafrasando Maccacaro, possa cominciare "dalla realtà e non dalla teoria, dalla società viva e non dallo studio di un cadavere." (MACCACARO, 1979, p.377) Ringraziamenti: Grazie a tutti gli studenti del SISM e ad Angelo Lorusso con cui ho avuto l'opportunita' di lavorare in questi anni sul tema del conflitto d' interessi e grazie soprattutto ad Ardigo' Martino per avermi ispirata a iniziare questo percorso.…”

“…(BAUM, 2001) Il programma della Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità -OMS "Salute per tutti entro l'anno 2000" ne è un esempio pratico. Lanciato nel 1976, esso poneva forte enfasi sullo sviluppo sociale, politico ed economico dei paesi con indici di sviluppo umano più bassi ed indicatori di salute peggiori, proprio nella prospettiva di affermare la salute come diritto umano fondamentale intimamente connesso agli altri diritti, così come dichiarato nell'articolo 25 della Dichiarazione Universale dei Diritti Umani.…”
