The "real" health promotion literature can be summarized briefly and concisely
as follows:
1. the information and approach found at: http://www.who.dk/healthy-cities
2. the information that is available from a number of books on health promotion
found at the Open University in the UK.
http://www3.open.ac.uk/courses/bin/p12.dll?C01K301
3. and some of the following titles... all of them are about listening to
communities; having communbities identify their issues, and empowering people
rather than blaming them!
