About the Book

This book provides an in-depth examination of how nutritional diagnostics and urban planning methodologies can interact synergistically to foster science-driven decision-making tools that integrate public health perspectives into territorial policy design. It delves into the theoretical underpinnings of spatial epidemiology, unearthing its historical and evolving relationship with urban planning and public health while addressing recent advancements in nutritional health. These theories can be operationalized through an innovative application of spatial epidemiology methods. The book uses Chile as a pivotal case study, thereby offering both local insights and globally replicable possibilities of research. With a multidisciplinary approach, the book explores fundamental areas such as spatial epidemiology, urban sociology, the social determinants of health, and the emerging field of urban nutrition planning. By integrating environmental and socio-spatial elements, it introduces a comprehensive methodological toolkit aimed at enhancing the study of nutrition from a spatial perspective, offering readers practical approaches for analysis, data interpretation, and policy applications. The book serves as an essential reference for public health experts, urban researchers, geographers, and nutritionists. By illustrating the practical implications of these intersections, the book paves the way for transformative policies that respond to contemporary challenges in urban health, positioning itself as a cornerstone for those invested in crafting resilient and health-oriented urban landscapes.
