This paper is about situation of the rising urban population with the death rate brought about by non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in the world population. This paper represents a delineation of factors that correlate the urban population and NCDs and guidelines in order to avoid the explosion of NCDs are indispensable to demonstrate. NCDs are different in different geographic regions. Based on average NCD data, Europe has the highest death rate resulting from NCDs at 90.4%, while that in Asia, North America, South America, and Africa is 73.8, 72.6, 70.1, and 37.7 respectively. Regarding to correlation, it was found that the death ratio of NCDs is related to the urban population with a statistical significance at the 0.01 level. This has been discussed in terms of two main factors First, it is related to people’s behavior, eating unhealthy foods, tobacco smoking, alcohol consumption, and lack of exercise. Secondly, the influence of the physical environment of urban areas on increasing air pollution and changes in the community food system, where the food systems have shifted from self-preparing to more eating out Therefore, guidelines for maintaining good health have focused on changing behavior, including eating more fibrous food and reducing food with high amounts of saturated fat and doing adequate exercise. This requires to be prompted with good environmental spaces which invited people to have appropriate activities.
