Résumé :
|
The authors debates abound over just how prepared healthcare systems worldwide are to deal with the fallout from infectious diseases. Yet the urban aspects of such diseases – particularly within the context of globalizing cities and the global cities network- have been virtually ignored. The book examines the impact of globalization on the transmission of and response to SARS in Toronto, Hong Kong, and Singapore. The book uses the SARS outbreak as a springboard for further discussion about infectious disease management in progressively globalizing and urbanizing societies
