Understanding the complex relationships between the physical and social environment and health in urban areas is essential for the development of appropriate measures of health promotion, disease prevention, and health protection. This article aims to characterize the comparatively new approach of urban epidemiology with its relevance for research and practice of urban health. Research in urban epidemiology provides important data and methodological foundations for integrated reporting, health impact assessments, and evaluation of interventions. Current challenges and solutions are outlined and initial recommendations for research, practice, and education and training are presented for discussion. Methods and findings of urban epidemiology can contribute in many ways to health-promoting, sustainable urban development.
