Fehr, R. (2025): Urban Health / StadtGesundheit. In: Bundesinstitut für Öffentliche Gesundheit (BIÖG) (Hrsg.). Leitbegriffe der Gesundheitsförderung und Prävention. Glossar zu Konzepten, Strategien und Methoden. (Letzte Aktualisierung am 17.10.2025).

Zusammenfassung. Basierend auf einer integrativen (human-)ökologischen Perspektive strebt der Ansatz StadtGesundheit danach, Public Health in Theorie und Praxis konkret für die Gesundheit städtischer Bevölkerungen anzuwenden. Hier geht es sowohl um Erkenntnisse unter dem Leitprinzip Blickfelderweiterung als auch um Handlung, insbesondere im Sinne eines Brückenbaus. In Bezug auf Transdisziplinarität lassen sich hier neue zivilgesellschaftliche Arbeitsformen entwickeln. Der Beitrag erläutert die Entstehungszusammenhänge, Anwendungsfelder, Kernaufgaben und Perspektiven / [Based on DeepL:] Summary. Based on an integrative (human) ecological perspective, the Urban Health approach aims to apply public health theory and practice specifically to the health of urban populations. This involves both: (i) insights gained under the guiding principle of broadening perspectives and (ii) action, particularly in the sense of bridge building. In terms of transdisciplinarity, new forms of civil society work can be developed here. The article explains the background to its development, fields of application, core tasks, and perspectives.
