Este artículo analiza la relación entre la obesidad infantil y los entornos urbanos, considerando la interacción entre factores conductuales, estructurales y políticas públicas. Desde un enfoque interdisciplinario, se examina cómo el diseño urbano, el acceso a espacios recreativos, la disponibilidad de alimentos y las condiciones socioeconómicas influyen en los hábitos alimenticios y la actividad física de los niños. El estudio se basa en una revisión bibliográfica reciente (2020–2025) y destaca la necesidad de acciones integradas entre salud, urbanismo y educación para enfrentar este desafío de salud pública.
