ABSTRACT
The first sectionof this chapter reviews current ways of thinking about urban health, including the social determinants, health promotion and ecological health perspectives. After highlighting the limitations of these understandings, it makes the case for health to be conceived as more-than-human, drawing on the more-than-human theories of Part I. Familiar activities such as walking and running are used to illustrate how health could be recast as arising from practices dependent on many non-humans comprising everyday life. The chapter argues that reconceptualising health as more-than-human opens ways of thinking, knowing and understanding cities as eco-centric places.
