The current model of development is economically globalist and territorially separated, according to a center-periphery pattern which accumulates activities and population in some areas while degrades others.This model is economic, social and environmentally unsustainable and energy inefficient, because it requires concentrated energy production, because it requires the movement of huge amounts of goods and it hinders the use of renewable energies that are usually located diffusely in the territory.
The article raises the implications of this model for the health and the benefits of the proposed alternative model would produce.
Against the previous one, the article proposes a polynuclear and networked model, with compact settlements of different level and size, multifunctional, covering all the space, connected by channels of relationship that provide them similar opportunities of access to centers, science, culture, leisure, etc.
Keywords: Health, territorial organization, sustainability.
