All over the world, tuberculosis (TB) control in large cities is problematic, because the known risk factors for this disease are amplified in the urban context. In large western European cities, the incidence of TB in 2005 ranged from 20–25 per 100 000 population (Barcelona, Milan) to 35–45 per 100 000 (Paris, London), compared with countrywide rates of 8–15 per 100 000.
