| Abstract | Starting from a previous experience carried out by the working group “Building and Environmental Hygiene” of the Italian Society of Hygiene and Preventive Medicine (SItI), the aim of the present work is to define new strategic goals for achieving a “Healthy and Salutogenic City”, which will be useful to designers, local governments and public bodies, policy makers, and all professionals working at local health agencies. Ten key points have been formulated: 1. climate change and management of adverse weather events; 2. land consumption, sprawl, and shrinking cities; 3. tactical urbanism and urban resilience; 4. urban comfort, safety, and security perception; 5. strengths and weaknesses of urban green areas and infrastructures; 6. urban solid waste management; 7. housing emergencies in relation to socio-economic and environmental changes; 8. energy aspects and environmental planning at an urban scale; 9. socio-assistance and welfare network at an urban scale: importance of a rational and widespread system; and 10. new forms of living, conscious of coparticipation models and aware of sharing quality objectives. Design strategies, actions, and policies, identified to improve public health and wellbeing, underline that the connection between morphological and functional features of urban context and public health is crucial for contemporary cities and modern societies. © 2018 by the authors.

| Design strategies, actions, and policies, identified to improve public health and wellbeing, underline that the connection between morphological and functional features of urban context and public health is crucial for contemporary cities and modern societies. . | This is crucial to the understanding of how to allow the city to improve its development and protect the well-being of its citizens. . | Indeed, it is an approach of actions and policies aimed at improving local neighborhoods and city gathering places. . | Their use limits the demand for energy and, consequently, the impacts of its production, thus protecting health and the environment. . | It is necessary that such policies guarantee citizens not only an access to decorous housing, but also the right to live in a context that is environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable and that meets the specific needs of users. . | ^ to validate a tailored sprawl index that has to be coupled with emission reduction strategies including promotion of active transportation (i.e., vehicles, fuels, vehicle miles traveled) to realize exposure reductions across the entire population; ^ to implement a scheduled monitoring of urban sprawl in European environmental legislation, which will be useful to design health-promoting public green spaces in the urban environment that have the potential to be health-promoting in multiple dimensions (e.g., increasing physical activity, decreasing exposure to air pollution, and improving mental health). . | Adequate living conditions thus necessitate healthy environments and promoters of active lifestyles; individual and collective health is strongly influenced by the environmental context 3 . . |
