The document discusses the need for a revised urban health framework to guide local responses to persistent challenges in developing country urban environments, specifically in Johannesburg, South Africa. It notes high rates of migration and informal settlements, and the complexity of issues like HIV in these contexts. The proposed framework would take a multisectoral, developmental approach to address issues like access to services for migrants and those in informal settlements, and facilitate coordinated local responses to migration, housing and HIV as interconnected challenges.
