The Milan Charter on Urban Obesity highlights the challenges of urban environments as a battleground for human health, as cities are often organized to subvert public health goals, and promote rather than prevent the development of obesity and consequent non-communicable diseases. The Charter articulates ten principles which detail actions and strategies through which general practitioners, diverse medical specialists, related healthcare professionals, administrators and healthcare practice managers, policy actors – within health systems and at a national level – along with experts across disciplines, and citizens, can work in cooperation to meet this challenge and improve public health. The Charter urges the adoption of decisions that deliver the following: (i) policies which enable our cities to become healthier and less obesogenic, more supportive of well-being and less health-disruptive in general, and (ii) policies that fully support primary prevention strategies, that address social stigma, and that ensure fair access to treatment for people living with obesity. The Milan Charter on Urban Obesity aims to raise awareness of our shared responsibility for the health of all citizens, and focuses on addressing the health of people living with obesity – not only as a challenge in its own right, but a gateway to other major non-communicable diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers.

《米兰城市肥胖宪章》强调了城市环境作为人类健康的战场所面临的挑战，因为城市经常被组织来颠覆公共卫生目标，并促进而不是预防肥胖症和随之而来的非传染性疾病的发展。《宪章》阐明了十项原则，详述了行动和策略，通过这些行动和策略，全科医生，各种医疗专家，相关的医疗保健专业人员，管理人员和医疗保健实践管理者，卫生系统内和国家级的政策参与者以及各学科的专家和公民，可以合作应对这一挑战并改善公共卫生。《宪章》敦促通过做出以下决定的决定：（i）使我们的城市变得更健康，不致肥胖的政策，总体上更有利于福祉，对健康的破坏较少，并且（ii）完全支持初级预防策略，解决社会污名化并确保肥胖症患者获得公平治疗的政策。《米兰城市肥胖症宪章》旨在提高人们对我们全体公民健康共同责任的认识，并着重于解决肥胖症患者的健康问题–不仅是对自身的挑战，而且是通往其他主要非肥胖人群的门户-传染性疾病，包括心血管疾病，2型糖尿病和某些癌症。
