✦ Synopsis

The concept of a healthy city or community has grown from a small European project to a worldwide movement in the past ten years, but it did not emerge in a vacuum. There is a long tradition of attempts to improve the health of cities and their citizens, dating back to at least the time of Hippocrates, the Greek "father of medicine." Even boards of health are an older invention than most of us realize. They existed in the city-states of Renaissance Italy in the fourteenth century.' In this article, I review some of the high points of the more recent aspects of that history-going back just over 150 years-and the evolution of the modern healthy cities or communities movement since its inception in 1986. This history provides an important context for understanding the healthy cities approach, its aims, and its methods.
