Investigating Relationship Between Built Environment and Health
International Best Practices
Since the beginning of the 21st Century, urban researches are shading light on how urban programs or interventions in urban areas can affect the health and well-being of individuals.
Built environment influences indirectly the physical and mental health through three components: land use, transportation patterns and spatial features of urban settlement. Individuals living in urban areas with mixed land-use, public spaces for recreational activities and efficient public transportation patterns have higher level of health and well-being.
Through a structured literature review, the objective of this study is to identify, describe and analyze urban regeneration best practices focused on the improvement of public health and well-being of individuals. According to the subjects emerged from the relevant literature and from a comparative analysis between different case studies in italian and international context, we could suggest some spatial interventions to mitigate the negative effects of the built environment on health and well-being of individuals, through interventions focused on a mixed land-use, on the improvement of sustainable mobility and cycle-pedestrian paths, on the enhancement of green and socialization spaces, on the sustainable design of housing.
