520 |a The World Bank is currently assessing the relative health impacts of physical environment problems in urban areas of developing countries in order to better guide its urban policy and investment decisions. As a contribution, this report reviews and summarizes available literature on health in the urban areas of developing countries. It discusses associations between health and problems of the material environment. The objectives of the report are: (1) to produce a classification of environmental variables relevant to urban health in developing countries; (2) to propose an analytical framework for relating environmental variables to health; (3) to review intra-urban differentials in mortality, morbidity and causes of death in developing countries, with particular reference to vulnerable groups; (4) to review literature that attempts to link casually urban environmental conditions to health in developing countries; and (5) to propose future related research.
