Effective management of health crises requires public health preparedness and response, especially in urban settings where the complexity and scope of catastrophes provide considerable challenges. The integration of project management frameworks with public health policies is highlighted in this review, which investigates the optimization of emergency response systems using a project management methodology. The adoption of cutting-edge technologies that improve real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, and resource allocation such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and the Internet of Things (Io-T) is one of the main topics covered. The assessment also discusses how crucial it is to take ethics into account when making decisions, how to distribute resources fairly, and how to actively engage communities to build resilience. Technological and tool innovations in project management are emphasized as critical to enhancing response times and accommodating changing circumstances. The review also emphasizes the necessity of ongoing learning and development based on prior experiences to improve preparedness tactics and overall efficacy. Public health systems can respond to urban health emergencies in a more coordinated, equitable, and efficient manner by combining these components, which will eventually improve outcomes and resilience in impacted populations.
有效的健康危机管理需要公共卫生防范和应对能力，尤其是在城市环境中，灾难的复杂性和规模带来了巨大挑战。本综述强调了将项目管理框架与公共卫生政策相结合，该综述使用项目管理方法研究应急系统的优化。采用前沿技术改善实时监测、预测分析和资源分配，如人工智能（AI）、大数据和物联网（Io-T）是所涵盖的主要主题之一。评估还讨论了决策时考虑伦理的重要性、如何公平分配资源以及如何积极吸引社区增强恢复力。强调项目管理中的技术和工具创新对于缩短响应时间和适应不断变化的情况至关重要。综述还强调了基于以往经验进行持续学习和发展以改进防范策略和整体效果的必要性。通过整合这些要素，公共卫生系统能够以更协调、公平和高效的方式应对城市卫生紧急情况，最终改善受影响人群的结果和恢复力。
