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? Discover insights from our recent multidisciplinary workshop 👇healthycitiesgenerator.com/2023/02/21/hea…

Practical handles, scientifically grounded. City as a tool for health!

Almost all #UrbanPlanning policies & actions have an impact on health. Get to know our Healthy Cities Generator model by discovering the mental, physical, & environmental #health impact of each determinant in our latest fact series. Learn more 👉 healthycitiesgenerator.com/model/



Sebastiaan van Herk Reposted

Incorporating #health in #urbanplanning is no easy task. Until now, planners had to choose between complex, intensive frameworks, or simple tools for only a single driver of health. To fill this gap, we are delighted to launch the BETA version of the Healthy Cities Generator!

Public health interventions tend to focus on influencing individual behaviours rather than tackling the broader system determinants that drive these behaviours. We need to prioritise urban planning and design to improve health-promoting lifestyles!
