Abstract
Recent literature dealing with the relationship between being overweight or obese and the urban built environment is presented in this paper. Theories from this literature based mainly on research from the USA have then been compared with evidence from the field, based on a medium-sized town in Germany, a country often described as less suburban. Conclusions reached in North America appeared to be irrelevant to the European case, suggesting that US solutions cannot simply be transferred directly. It is suggested that one has to understand both morphological and human aspects of cities to gain a deeper understanding of overweight or obesity
