Abstract

September 2011 will see heads of state and government from around the world gathering at a United Nations high-level meeting to discuss the problem of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) for the first time. The decision to hold such a meeting demonstrates both that NCDs have finally been recognized as a global health threat and that national leaders are willing to take action to prevent, or at least mitigate, the burden of chronic diseases. In light of the upcoming high-level meeting, this paper focuses on the specific and unique, but under-used and under-appreciated, role of spatial planning as a means of tackling NCDs and the need for reconnecting with public health.
