Abstract:
Amid the swell of the tide of globarization and decentralization, the building of healthy cities and communities has become an increasingly important task of Japan’s health and welfare policy makers. In this article the international trends, results and problems of the healthy cities projects were reviewed with attention focused on the 3rd period (1998-2002) of the WHO healthy cities programs. The strategy and methodology, and the theory and practice of the development of healthy cities and communities were also proposed with stress placed on the need of the symbiotic collaboration between rural communities and urban communities from the viewpoint of policy science.
