Healthy Cities

Healthy Cities refers to an urban development approach that prioritizes the health and well-being of residents through the design and management of urban environments. This concept emphasizes the integration of public health principles into city planning and policies, aiming to create supportive environments that promote physical, mental, and social health. Healthy Cities initiatives often focus on improving access to healthcare services, promoting active transportation (like walking and cycling), enhancing green spaces, ensuring clean air and water, and fostering community engagement. The goal is to create vibrant, sustainable urban areas that provide a high quality of life and contribute to the overall health of the population.
