Healthy urbanism is an approach to design and planning that unites human health and wellbeing with the sustainability of environmental systems.
The way that cities are designed and managed affects peoples’ health and wellbeing in many ways. Today’s biggest challenges such as the climate crisis and widening inequalities require a fundamental shift in understandings of healthy urbanism.
Through case studies and other materials, this website explores what healthy urbanism might look like on the ground.
Healthy Urbanism: Designing and Planning Equitable, Sustainable and Inclusive Places is a companion book to this website. The book delves into the ‘why’ and ‘how to’ of creating healthy places, providing a balance of theory and practice.
