To draw attention to health determinants and health inequities among populations that live in urban environments and to explore challenges faced in establishing urban population health, the Forum on Public-Private Partnerships for Global Health and Safety hosted a 1.5-day workshop on the role of health-focused public-private partnerships (PPPs) in the urban context. The workshop, held June 13-14, 2019, in Washington, DC, aimed to illuminate some of the intervention strategies that have been designed to attenuate these urban health issues and highlighted the importance of PPPs and urban-level governance in remediation efforts. By facilitating discussion among participants in both the public and private sectors, as well as among policy makers, the workshop served as a platform to share best practices on how to address health challenges through interventions that target healthier urban populations. This publication highlights the presentations and discussion of the workshop.Table of ContentsFront Matter1 Introduction2 Cities and Planetary Health: Why Urban Issues Matter3 Evidence and Challenges for Urban Health Initiatives in International Development4 Identifying and Addressing Health Inequities in Urban Settings5 Effect of Food, Agriculture, and Transportation Systems on Urban Population Health6 How Digital Technology and Artificial Intelligence Can Help Improve Urban Health7 Political Leadership and Governance of Public–Private Partnerships for Urban HealthReferencesAppendix A: Workshop AgendaAppendix B: Biographical Sketches of Workshop Speakers
