The Section of Stress Research, WHO Psyohosocial Centre, Dept. of Clinical Neuroscience, Karolinska Institute, Box 220, S-171 77 Stockholm, Sweden; Fax: (46) 8 344143.

Stressful environments and their effects on quality ot life in Third World cities outlines the linkages between environment related stress and ill-health and the many stressors that cause or contribute to ill-health. The author identifies buffering factors that help people cope with stress and considers how to enhance these buffers and in so-doing integrate a concern for people's quality of life within more conventional goals of city planning, environmental services and health care provision.
