Examining 'the body' from a socio-cultural perspective, this book shows how our conceptions of the body are affected by processes of individualisation, medicalization, and commodification.

Continuing and developing the argument of Deborah Lupton's "The Imperative of Health", the authors use contemporary socio-cultural and political theory to examine: the notion of citizenship; the concept of the "healthy citizen"; the healthy cities project; and community participation.
