© 2021. Springer Medizin Verlag GmbH, ein Teil von Springer Nature..

BACKGROUND: Germany already has a high degree of urbanisation, and the share of urban population is expected to increase further. Thus, it is important to explore urban primary care from a scientific point of view.

METHOD: In this article, the author suggests a framework for urban primary care.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Three core characteristics of urban areas are a high population density, a high population heterogeneity (including socioeconomic heterogeneity) and a fragmentation of health care and social care. These characteristics influence the health of urban dwelling population. Thus, these characteristics form the future challenges for urban primary care.
