Health is one of the key elements of the quality of life. Over the past hundred years, humanity has achieved significant success in prolonging life expectancy by eliminating many centuries-old health risks. At the same time, the ongoing urbanisation is offering new challenges: how to make sure that the urban environment and lifestyle don't affect the well-being of residents, but on the contrary, promote an active and healthy life. The so-called diseases of affluence which modern residents face require a reaction by professionals not only in the field of health care but all the key areas of urban development — from urban planning to transport. The "health into all policies" principle is becoming more relevant for modern megacities which put the quality of life of residents as their key priority.
