Abstract Urban wellness draws attention to the relationship between holistic wellness and urban life. This chapter sheds light on the levels and dynamics of wellness in the city. It conceptualizes the city as a “dissipative structure” that integrates wellness resources and flows. Another topic discussed is an institutional view of wellness, with a focus on the governance field of local wellness economy. In the last two sections of the chapter, the concept of a wellness city is defined—first, as a generic urban phenomenon, and second, as a concept applied to the promotion of urban economic development.
