From the start of the 19th century and through to the middle of the 20th century, the increase in cases of tuberculosis, together with the development of different experimental therapies applied to cure this disease, gave rise to the appearance of very different types of sanatoria and tertiary complexes for health, called “cities of health”. The “sanatoria cities” German-Swiss, around of therapies based on climate, rest and pure air; the “rehabilitation colonies” for tuberculosis sufferers, employing work-based therapies; or the immense sanatoria of the middle of the 20th century, similar to the new constructions of the “modern cities”, are three examples of them.The sanatorium and the “cities of the health” are still valid referents to combat the problems of physical and psychological health that actually exist in the city. ; El crecimiento masivo de los casos de tuberculosis, junto al desarrollo de diversas terapias experimentales aplicadas para la cura de esta enfermedad originaron, desde principios del siglo XIX y hasta mediados del siglo XX, la aparición de muy diferentes tipos de sanatorios y de complejos terciarios destinados a la salud, llamados “ciudades de la salud”. Las conocidas como “ciudades sanatoriales” germano-suizas, afines a las terapias climáticas, de reposo y aire puro para la cura de la tuberculosis; las “colonias de reinserción laboral” para enfermos de tuberculosis, fundamentadas en las terapias de cura basadas en el trabajo; o los inmensos sanatorios de mediados del siglo XX identificables con las nuevas construcciones de las “ciudades modernas”, son tres ejemplos de ellos.Los sanatorios y las “ciudades de la salud” son aún referentes válidos para combatir los problemas de salud física y psicológica que existen en la ciudad actual.
