Zusammenfassung:The obesity crisis has affected many nations. It is also one of the factors listed as a contributing cause to the COVID-19 fatalities. The common tendency is to blame people's dietary choices and sedentary habits. Yet, it can also be argued that social inequity and poor urban planning practices have largely contributed to a lack of active lifestyles. Low-density suburban sprawl, long commutes, food deserts, diminishing green areas are some aspects that have led to reduced physical activity among residents of all ages. The book illustrates the decline of community planning for healthy living and outlines measures that can be reintroduced to foster active lifestyles
