[Urban renewal--a contribution to healthy living within the city].

The article describes urban renewal and redevelopment as is being attempted in the city of Augsburg, Germany: The old residential areas in the city are preserved and improved: by modernisation of flats; by improving the environmental conditions in residential quarters. Focus is on coming to grips with the problem of vehicular traffic. The article points out possibilities of cooperation between urban redevelopers and Public Health staff.

[Health and urban renewal: experiences with the "Healthy Kreuzgassen Quarter--with reference to Vienna--healthy city].

In the context of the WHO-project "Vienna-Healthy City" problems concerning health promotion in an urban renewal district were examined. On that occasion planners and physicians practised intersectoral collaboration. Some of the results, especially the answers of the occupants of two blocks concerning health, environment and health promotion are presented and discussed.

[Health promotion and prevention by urban renewal?].

This article is based on a study using different approaches to examine the links between urban development on the one hand and health promotion on the other. The background and basic concepts underlying this study are briefly explained. Programmatic papers from both spheres of approach result in the basic thesis that both urban development and health promotion are aiming at improving the quality of life in city districts (objective conditions of living and subjective feeling tone, i.e. subjective well-being) in the overall sense of a health-promoting general policy. Because of these common goals cooperation between both spheres is hypothesised. However, the study as a whole shows (especially an analysis of the documents of the files of the sanitation committee) that this is not so. To understand this finding better the freedom of both parties concerned to act as they should, is analysed, namely, that of the sanitation committee and of the regional health and environmental office. It becomes evident that in both these spheres the requisite monitoring capacities, such as legal support, finances, information service and counselling activities, are fundamentally lacking or indeed limited. Hence, there are limited chances of success in the spheres of health promotion and preventive care by means of sanitation of city districts. Finally, the authors point to long-term trends and developments that would make a future approach between the two spheres mandatory and (at least partially) possible.

[The quality of life in historical urban sections--basic principles for urban renewal planning].

Living in the city is increasingly en vogue. In particular, ancient historical town areas are redeveloped to residential areas with the aim of creating "Isles of the Blest" while engendering a host of new problems; unhealthy additional density by building on originally free inside sites of blocks; new garages for residents right in the middle of redevelopment areas resulting in traffic nuisance due to congestion, noise and exhaust gases in narrow alleys; and hence, unhealthy living. Healthy living demands restoration of the original qualities of the historical town districts as a condition sine qua non for all town planning operations.

Urban renewal. Interview by Rhonda Bergman.

Two physicians and a nurse practitioner set out a decade ago to provide primary care services to families in some of New York City's neediest neighborhoods. In 1984, the group founded the Institute for Urban Family Health, a family practice provider serving patients in the Bronx and Manhattan. Its 12 clinics log 85,000 patient visits annually, supported by a staff that includes 34 full-time physicians and five nurse practitioners. The institute also operates two family practice residency programs in collaboration with two hospitals. Because of these efforts, institute president and co-founder Neil Calman, M.D. (below) last year received a $100,000 Community Health Leadership Award from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The award recognizes individuals who are reshaping the health care system at the community level. Calman, a family physician, spoke recently to staff editor Rhonda Bergman about the institute and its impact on patients.

Urban renewal in the nucleus: is protein turnover by proteasomes absolutely required for nuclear receptor-regulated transcription?

The importance of the ubiquitin proteasome pathway in higher eukaryotes has been well established in cell cycle regulation, signal transduction, and cell differentiation, but has only recently been linked to nuclear hormone receptor-regulated gene transcription. Characterization of a number of ubiquitin proteasome pathway enzymes as coactivators and observations that several nuclear receptors are ubiquitinated and degraded in the course of their nuclear activities provide evidence that ubiquitin proteasome-mediated protein degradation plays an integral role in eukaryotic transcription. In addition to receptors, studies have revealed that coactivators are ubiquitinated and degraded via the proteasome. The notion that the ubiquitin proteasome pathway is involved in gene transcription is further strengthened by the fact that ubiquitin proteasome pathway enzymes are recruited to the promoters of target genes and that proteasome-dependent degradation of nuclear receptors is required for efficient transcriptional activity. These findings suggest that protein degradation is coupled with nuclear receptor coactivation activity. It is possible that the ubiquitin proteasome pathway modulates transcription by promoting remodeling and turnover of the nuclear receptor-transcription complex. In this review, we discus the possible role of the ubiquitin proteasome pathway in nuclear hormone receptor-regulated gene transcription.
