Public health and Urban Planning

Urban Planning...is the design and regulation of the uses of space that focus on the physical form, economic functions, and social impacts of the urban environment and on the location of different activities within it.

Public Health...is the art and science of preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting physical and mental health, sanitation, personal hygiene, control of infectious diseases, and organization of health services.

How much do these fields overlap? What is the potential for collaboration between them to help solve modern problems?
