"Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide, contributing to over 73% of all deaths annually. Each day NCDs cause more than 100,000 deaths, 80% of which occur in low- and middle-income countries. NCDs, however, are largely preventable, and a great deal of technical knowledge exists about how to prevent and manage them. Why, then, have we, as a global community, not been more successful at reducing this NCD burden? Does a universal problem not have a universal solution? Created by an international consortium of experts, this informative and accessible book provides practical guidelines, key learning points, and dynamic, real-world case studies to aid NCD program managers, policy officers and decision-makers in low- and middle-income countries, so that they can assess interventions for the prevention and control of NCDs. The book was commissioned by the Prince Mahidol Award Conference (PMAC), an annual international conference centred on policy of global significance related to public health. Non-Communicable Disease Prevention: Best Buys, Wasted Buys and Contestable Buys emphasises the importance of context in NCD control and prevention, arguing that the success of an intervention lies in an ability to respond to local needs and environments. The book comprises ten chapters, which collectively explore the reasons behind, and strategies for, preventing and managing the NCD burden. It spans key themes such as political economy, the transferability of economic evidence, the role of cross-sectoral policies, the importance of deliberative processes, and health technology assessment. This book is written for the benefit of the global health community, and is primarily targeted at those individuals who are involved in NCD programs. This book will also be of interest to NCD champions, policy advocates, and educators spearheading the movement for increased visiblity of NCDs."--Publisher's website.

Cet ouvrage retrace plus d'un demi-siècle de « batailles » scientifiques et politiques pour améliorer l'environnement urbain. Depuis l'âge de Pasteur et l'identification du danger représenté par les microbes, jusqu'à l'urbanisation galopante des Trente Glorieuses, l'historien a traqué la naissance et la diffusion de dispositifs techniques aujourd'hui indispensables à la sécurité sanitaire et à la propreté de l'espace urbain : usines d'eau potable, stations d'épuration, installations de traitement des déchets. Ces équipements ont engendré des polémiques passionnées qui ne furent pas cantonnées aux spécialistes, mais qui ont au contraire investi l'espace public. À travers plusieurs études de cas se dessine un tableau vivant et complexe. Les villes françaises ont connu très tôt d'intenses débats civiques et de fréquentes batailles politiques liées à l'eau et à l'assainissement urbain. Derrière ces controverses locales, toujours d'actualité, c'est un paysage de villes méconnues qui apparaît et met en lumière des localités qui ont joué un rôle phare dans la diffusion des innovations de l'ingénierie sanitaire.
