Today is #WorldCitiesDay.

WHO's new Guide for Decision Makers helps leaders transform cities into engines of:
✅ Health
✅ Equity
✅ Sustainability

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

It is #WorldCitiesDay.

Your health should not depend on where you live in a city.

Yet stark inequities in
✅ food security
✅ housing
✅ sanitation
✅ climate risk
cut across our cities, affecting our health.

WHO’s new urban health guide shows how cities can close that gap and promote people, planet & prosperity. Learn more: https://t.co/rSKETUVDCY

As 58% of the 🌍 population lives in cities, these locations need special attention to protect the health of their citizens

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

More than half of humanity lives in urban areas.

On #WorldCitiesDay, @WHO launches a new guide for decision-makers to meet the growing demand for integrated urban health solutions.

I call on municipal and national leaders to adopt a more strategic approach to improve the health of billions of city-dwellers, and to make urban areas more livable, more just and more sustainable.
