What is unique about urban health, is the broad understanding of the root causes of health and disease, as described by planetary boundaries and social determinants of health; how they affect health of citizens and of the city itself, and how urban responses can build synergies and contribute to health, wellbeing and equity as well as ensure that the planet carrying capacity is preserved. Urban health responds both to the ecological boundaries and to the social foundations as illustrated in the Doughnut Economics image by Kate Raworth.
