Abstract

This article focuses on how short-termism impacts on the quality of urban development and, in turn, both population and planetary health. The first section of the paper clarifies key terms - short-termism, health, urban development and upstream - then summarises the context of urban development in the United Kingdom, and the evidence linking urban environments to population and planetary health. The main analysis section draws on data from interviews with 132 participants carried out between May and September 2021. Using the Commercial Determinants of Health framework, six thematic areas are identified: Policy & Political Economy; Legislation and Regulation; Commercial Actors; Underlying Drivers (Power); Externalities; and Partnership. Analysis suggests 17 key messages, the majority of which point to the need for stronger government intervention, a position supported by private sector, if fairly enacted.

城市发展中的短期行为：地球健康的商业决定因素

本文重点探讨短期行为如何影响城市发展质量，进而影响人口和地球健康。文章的第一部分阐明了关键术语--短期主义、健康、城市发展和上游--然后概述了英国城市发展的背景，以及将城市环境与人口和地球健康联系起来的证据。主要分析部分采用了 2021 年 5 月至 9 月期间对 132 名参与者进行的访谈数据。利用健康的商业决定因素框架，确定了六个主题领域：政策与市场；政治经济；立法与监管；商业行为者；基本驱动因素（权力）；外部性；以及合作伙伴关系。分析提出了 17 条关键信息，其中大部分信息表明，政府需要加强干预，私营部门也支持这一立场，但前提是政府必须公平地颁布干预措施。
