Abstract
Cities today face a myriad of issues, including very poor air quality, the need to adapt to climate change, a variety of diet-related health problems, rising obesity, and a lack of physical activity. These are complex and challenging issues. One potential solution is to develop more integrative, holistic models that can tie these problems together and provide integrative, catalytic solutions.
