Abstract:

What are the repercussions of poorly planned urbanization on population health? Understanding urban health, the risks posed by cities, the repercussions on health and social relations help in planning prevention should be invested. Thus, in order to verify the relationship between urbanization and urban health, especially the infections caused by the vector Aedes aegypti, a qualitative study and a descriptive and analytical investigation were carried out through documentary and bibliographic search. The results indicate that the environmental impacts resultingthe lack of infrastructure resultingurbanization can pose risks to human health, since the disposal of waste in dumps and landfills can lead to exposure to hazardous chemicals. In addition, ineffective sanitation can lead to water-borne diseases and reproduce vectors of other diseases, such as Aedes aegypti, responsible for the transmission of arboviruses (dengue, chikungunya and Zika). Thus, studying environmental and urban health provides a basis for promoting the quality of life of people living in these areas and allows proposing measures to avoid diseases related to urbanization.
