City health

Just back from a neat conference on URBAN HEALTH. Didn't realize, but for the first time in history ( they tell me) more people live in cities than any other area ie: suburbs/rural.
This poses interesting health challenges.
How do you care for people in the event of pandemic flu when they're living so near each other ..
what about the aging population - how to keep communities safe and appearing safe as perception plays as big a role, the researchers find, as reality.

I'll be sharing stories on this in the coming weeks.
