Cities originated in Europe, between the 17th and 18th centuries, with the advent of the Industrial Revolutions. The new configuration of the city resulted in high population densities in the urban area (SPOSITO, 1988). The lack of basic sanitation and good housing conditions facilities the dissemination of diseases, so the access to places with better quality was restricted to the wealthier classes. Researchers in the nineteenth century pointed to higher mortality rates and dissemination of diseases in neighborhoods where residents of lower social classes were located (CORBURN, 2017). Urban interventions were designed to sanitize the cities while favoring productive processes (LEFEBVRE, 2008); avenues were opened, rivers were channeled, peripheral neighborhoods were established, among other actions that transformed the urban space.
In 2020, with the pandemic of COVID-19, the importance of urban dynamics was demonstrated for different sectors of society (UN-HABITAT & WHO, 2020), in search of new strategies that aim to collaborate, articulately, with the present and the future of people, animals, and the environment, reaffirming that health must be at the center of policies for decisions in favor of the development of cities and well-being.
The objective of this research is to propose a "toolbox" for the development of urban planning for healthy cities.
Tools developed and monitored by the Urban Investigations Laboratory of the State University of Campinas together with municipal managers and local social representatives.
Urban planning focused on the healthy city should consider the principles of health promotion through the use of soft technologies that are easy to understand and replicate (SPERANDIO, 2022).
