Abstract

In this short final contribution, we propose a theoretical-conceptual framework useful for understanding how the various contributions of the volume compose an organic vision of the role of multidisciplinarity and integration. They are indispensable levers for promoting health and health equity in cities. Effective concepts and practices are strongly emerging in the international literature to make the experiences and traditions of research and intervention that have been presented even more well-founded and transferable. New leadership and greater participation are required by the complexity of the problems that urban systems will have to face. Similarly, investments should increase in methodologies centred on strengthening capabilities, through the growth of social capital and empowerment. Furthermore, the importance of the cultural and organizational dimension increases, which can make integration processes dynamic and effective. Finally, recommendations are proposed, which, according to our experiences, constitute learning to be valued, to make the participation of professionals, citizens and institutional and social actors in the improvement of urban ecosystems effective and transformative.
