The concept of "healthy community" was formally put forward by the US Department of Health in 1989, but the actual launch time of the healthy community movement was earlier. 1985, Canada began to carry out the healthy community movement, and then countries in western Europe, the western Pacific and America successively carried out the construction of healthy communities and healthy cities. Since then, the healthy community movement has gradually spread internationally.
In the first batch of healthy city construction in Shanghai and Suzhou, the construction of healthy community is listed as one of the main tasks. Today, the construction of healthy communities is still the focus of the construction of healthy cities in China, mostly in the form of "cell engineering" of healthy cities.
The birth of modern urban planning is closely related to solving the urban public health crisis.
/kloc-the development of the industrial revolution in the 0/9th century led to the explosion of urban population. Poor crowded living environment and poor sanitary conditions have contributed to the prevalence of acute infectious diseases such as cholera and tuberculosis, and viruses are spread through air, dirty water and other media. Urban planning gradually establishes standards and norms by standardizing sewers, adjusting sunshine and ventilation conditions of buildings, improving urban public health, and curbing the spread of diseases.
In 1980s, the growth of non-communicable diseases such as obesity, chronic respiratory diseases, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and depression made people pay more attention to the relationship between public health problems and built environment, and the "Healthy City" campaign initiated by the World Health Organization (WHO) was rapidly launched internationally.
China launched the Healthy City Campaign in the 1990s, and in 20 17, it promoted "Healthy China" to the national strategic level. In 20 19, the State Council established the Healthy China Action Promotion Committee and promulgated the Healthy China Action (20 19-2030). Subsequently, Shanghai, Guangdong and other provinces and cities responded positively, which means that the healthy China strategy has developed to a deepening and accelerating stage.
