Abstract：

Under the background of serious social problem caused by chronic diseases, the construction of healthy city provides an opportunity for re-cooperation between urban planning and public health, while clarifying the impact of urban built environment on chronic diseases is the basis of effective planning. According to western literature, urban planning is fully capable of increasing physical activity, promoting reasonable diets and diminishing chronic diseases via improving physical environment. This paper focuses on quantifying urban built environment, constructing analytical framework, and overcoming problems of self-selection, so as to provide reference for Chinese empirical research in this field.
