A healthy social environment plays an important role in the development of society and each individual. By a healthy social environment, one understands a wide range of issues, in particular, possibilities of choice and equality, employment, social security, health, education and housing. These issues extend far beyond the scope of the city's social policy and respective bodies. As far as the development of the city and its environment is concerned in terms of sustainability of cities and their people, of vital importance are issues such as possibilities to choose to live a long and healthy life, obtain good employment and education, health care, possibilities to live in a healthy urban environment and be provided with housing, as well as the ability to choose a decent standard of living. All this determines the well-being of society and its health.
