【 摘 要 】

The Healthy Cities Movement has been involving an increasing number of cities and actors in several countries of the world since the 70's, and has been divulging a practice that represents a new form of thinking and working on health which aims at constructing a social product - quality of life of the population. This new proposal presupposes the existence of people living in a territory with concrete problem. It represents a new form of city administration based on intersectorial action and demands the protagonism of the state, as well as the participation of civil society in the accomplishment of new objectives aiming at changing the city profile. In Brazil there are so far 19 municipal districts involved with Healthy Cities' proposal but only 13 with active projects. The results of the efforts of these municipal districts are beginning to become visible and to bring new perspectives in terms of social and sustained development and the improvement of health conditions and quality of life.
