This MOOC is the second part (out of three parts) of the whole MOOC on Healthy Urban Systems. These PART II is very recommended (but not obliged) to take after the PART I and before the PART III. Once you understood the main concepts and visions of Urban Health, and the best practices of observation in PART I, you are ready to think about theories and to practice models for this PART II.
