Abstract

People live in cities because there they can secure what they need and want at less economic cost than they can in towns and villages. Their immediate needs include ready access to water, food, and shelter. These are met in the near term at increasing resource and environmental costs in the surrounding and supporting area. In time, public health becomes an issue because crowding and enhanced disease transmission threaten it. After the basic needs of nutrition and shelter are met, not always easily, the demands for individual and community health can be addressed. It is at this point that DeAnne Julius’ (46) argument that the objective of achieving public health benefits is more important than measuring them becomes paramount.
