Effective strategies to build a national approach to the integration of health and urban planning at all levels of government is essential if the health problems of urban Australians, such as obesity and respiratory illnesses, are to improve. This paper examines some policies and initiatives that could facilitate intergovernment cooperation on health and sustainability within the constraints of Australia's federal government system. These include recommendations for an Australian Sustainability Commission and Charter of Sustainability, evaluations of the Better Cities Program of the 1990s, and current proposals for improving urban governance to enable the implementation of a healthy and sustainable cities agenda.
如果要改善澳大利亚城市居民的健康问题，如肥胖和呼吸系统疾病，制定在各级政府层面将健康与城市规划相结合的全国性有效策略至关重要。本文探讨了一些政策和举措，这些政策和举措能够在澳大利亚联邦政府体系的框架内推动政府间在健康与可持续发展方面的合作。其中包括关于设立澳大利亚可持续发展委员会和可持续发展宪章的建议、对20世纪90年代“更美好城市”计划的评估，以及当前为改善城市治理以推动实施健康与可持续城市议程而提出的建议。
