Abstract

The main research objective is creating the knowledgebase on transport and urban development and their adverse impacts to public health of big cities’ citizen. This research is a flatform from which future studies could be conducted with the purposes to improve urbanization and health-related issues toward healthy cities and sustainable urban development. The literature review research method is applied throughout the study process to review and summarize on: (1) the legal documents on urban planning and development, including transportation, environmental related-aspects; (2) scientific studies on urban planning and development, urban planning - transport - public health relationship, public health contribution to sustainable development, and (3) news and articles from media, newspaper about the current situation of urban planning, traffic, health issues and changes in related policies, etc. Main findings of the study: (1) listing out the major negative health effects related to transport and urban planning, such as: injuries and accidents are main causes leading to urban mortality (especially in Asia) and illness realated to pollutants releasing from traffic activities; and (2) introduction some public health improvement applying planning-related measures: Healthy Cities Program (HCP) and Healthy Urban Planning (HUP) by WHO, KonSULT’s policy measures analysis in term of Health effects.
