Descrição

A saúde é um bom indicador de qua­lidade territorial e nos informa sobre a quali­dade do ambiente vivido. A saúde na cidade foi compreendida, por um longo tempo, através das topografias médicas, que puderam eviden­ciar os riscos de saúde ligados à concepção das cidades. Este artigo visa ilustrar as interações antigas entre cidade e saúde. Num primeiro momento, tratar-se-á da apresentação histó­rica de alguns indicadores de morbidade e de mortalidade, além de alguns fatores de risco. Veremos, em seguida, como a conscientização em relação aos desafios sanitários na cidade pôde influenciar o urbanismo e, através da incorporação do higienismo, como se pôde pensar em preservar a saúde das populações, transformando o seu espaço. Este texto eviden­ciará o caso da França e da cidade de Lyon.||Health is a good indicator of territorial quality and provi­des information on the quality of the place of life.
