Forming a new Relationship of City-Dwellers to Health
The high level of urbanization of the country, new approaches to the organization of urban space and new risks, the outlined contradiction between the desire for economic growth of cities and the social expectations of city-dwellers identified a socially significant problem — the formation and maintenance of the health of the population, in general, and the individual, in particular. Due to the development of the urban environment, the increase in the quality of life of the population, especially large cities, the emergence of new social practices and leisure activities, the problem of maintaining health undergoes serious changes in all its components — the goals and forms of their achievement, subjects and boundaries. The importance of urban space in the formation of a new attitude to the health of city-dwellers in a sociological interpretation is seen as creating favorable conditions for involving and maintaining the interaction of all entities interested in increasing the physical activity of the population, carrying out targeted actions to jointly achieve a socially significant result by directly or indirectly uniting individuals into groups varying degrees of stability and formalization to maintain their health.
