Abstract
This paper analyses how health-sector professionals view the discussion of sustainability, takes these discussions further by applying the concept to urban health, and compares key issues of sustainable urban health with other aspects of sustainable development. The health sector's respective emphasis on health services versus environmental health is discussed and current action within the World Health Organisation's Healthy City projects is considered in the light of sustainable urban health. Finally, a discussion of the concept “think globally, act locally” is considered and the proposal to “think locally, act globally” is presented in relation to the UN Summit on Human Settlements, Habitat II.
