| 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.

Healthy design and urban planning strategies, actions, and policy to achieve salutogenic cities. At present the urban environment and modern cities are pivotal for the public health paradox: on the one hand they should respond to urbanization by offering shelter and protection to the population promoting and protecting collective health; on the other hand urban areas require high energy consumption contextually representing a source of multiple risk factors for health issues. Although the global surface occupied by urban areas is only % cities produce the largest share of greenhouse gasses and deplete natural resources to meet the growing demand for goods by individuals . Indeed it is an approach of actions and policies aimed at improving local neighborhoods and city gathering places. These problems and issues are more relevant in the metropolis of developing countries where the urbanization phenomenon could become an uncontrolled source of risks for public health the reason why much scientific research has been conducted .
