This 2-day event brought together urban health enthusiasts from across the globe to share experiences and insights on creating healthier cities.

The key takeaway? To place life at the heart of urban development, emphasising a “human-centred design” approach 👥

[Marta Rofin-Serrà @MartaRofin]

Aquesta setmana al Congrés Internacional Healthy City Design @HCDCongress hem presentat el Postgrau #UrbanismeiSalut @UPC_School . Un exemple de formació transversal, per incorporar la salut en el planejament urbanístic. #HCD2023 @EJuvilla

Use for @c40cities and their #15MinuteCity work! Also consider our work towards a 15MC module for the Healthy Cities Generator tool. We have scientific evidence, methodology, user interfaces & software and cities. @helenechartier4 C40 pilots? @AmberDeLaHaye on gender & equity?

[Healthy Cities. @healthycitiesAP]

Concepts like the #15minutecity are becoming buzzwords around the 🌍 – but how easy is it really for people new to healthy #urbanplanning to evaluate their own neighbourhoods with these ideas?
