Community nurse and urban health issues

The cities are development so fast more than the natural resourses can recover their regular properties and some design projects do not satisfy the basic needs of inhabitants. In general urban planners, engineers and architects involved in the city transformation must collaborate with the health sector and especially with professional in the nursing community field. It would be a big mistake for the health sector not to participate in the development of urban health for they are the ones who really know both, the built spaces and the real population needs. A healthy city can develop a sustainable and responsible economy by creating just cities, and thus avoiding the immigration process that seeks to improve a quality of life that is not found in the local community. There is a solution to the problem of identity and the impact of globalization for the evolution of new built environments or the revitalization of the city, and for all diseases in the world.
