Abstrakt: The interactions between health and the environment are at the heart of the concerns of the political actors in Villeurbanne. Their participation in the network "Villes-Santé" and the adoption of the Municipal Plan for the Environment, has incited them to promote a local approach based on the identification of the health problems linked to the environment that are expressed and felt by the inhabitants. The study, carried out among 567 individuals (1/150 of the inhabitants of Villeurbanne), showed that overall, 73% complain of two important environmental problems linked to their state of health: air pollution (48% of inhabitants), and noise (district noise 37%, and noise from the neighbours 24%). Traffic is the main source of these urban nuisances. Despite this, the environment is not very important in the minds of many people (36.5%) when compared to unemployment (68.1%), drugs (48.5%), and violence (58%).
