Hygeia: A City Of Health

Hygeia provides a fascinating insight into the science and practice of public health in the late 19th century. The author, Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson, a prominent physician of his time, sets out his vision of a 'city of health' where the principles of sanitation, hygiene, and preventive medicine are paramount. Richardson's vision is illustrated through a series of case studies and examples from cities around the world, making this book a valuable resource for scholars and researchers of public health and urban planning.
