Public health is an important social problem in the process of urbanization, and public health policy is also the most important aspect of public policy. Public health is not only related to the healthy development of the city, but also to the stability and harmony of social order. Since the industrial revolution, the rapid development of social economy has accelerated the process of urbanization, resulting in various social problems, among which public health problems are particularly serious. 19 In the 1930s and 40s, faced with such a severe public health problem, the British Parliament passed the 1848 Public Health Act, which marked that the central government began to abandon the principle of liberalism, break through the tradition of local autonomy and intervene in the field of public health through legislative means. The bill regulates water supply, sewage discharge, garbage disposal, housing and other issues. The Central Health Committee is the first public health institution in British history, aiming at managing and supervising public health at the national level. Therefore, the bill opened the way for the British public health reform movement and established the development direction.
