Environmental Health Impact Assessment and Urban Planning

Urban planning is a multifacet and dynamic decision making process while environmental health is affected to a great measure by environmental condition. Therefore, this review aims to bring about the existing urban planning and environmental health impact system particularly in Malaysia. The stake to consider environmental health in urban development planning has never been higher and it is timely for the decision makers in urban planning and environmental health authority to see if the current practice of placing health impact assessment under the purview of Environmental Impact Assessment is still applicable.
