We focus on four complex health issues more prevalent in urban areas
With the Social Progress Imperative, we've developed the first neighbourhood level, health-focused social progress index of its kind.
With Wellcome Trust
We want to hear from you.
Where we grow up, live and work hugely influences our health. And in urban areas, we see the best and worst health outcomes, often just roads away from each other. We are Impact on Urban Health. We're focused on improving health in inner-city areas by understanding and changing how inequalities impact our health.
Health effects of air pollution
We’re working with Ricardo, a renowned environmental consultancy that helps businesses measure and mitigate their air pollution emissions.
We joined over 25 innovative food brands, investors and business support providers in calling on the Government to reconsider the U-turn on restrictions of promotions of HFSS products.
Air pollution is an urgent public health crisis and a social justice issue. We must seize this unique opportunity to tell Government to prioritise clean air.
If the Government is serious about addressing health inequality, it must set ambitious targets for clean air.
We work with local, city, national and international organisations to help urban areas become healthier places to live.
