Urban health
In Paris, we saw how they enabled people across the city to make decisions about how public money is spent to improve urban health.
In Glasgow, we explored the importance of better understanding the social issues affecting health, in order to spot trends and tailor support to key groups.
In Birmingham, we explored hyperlocal interventions to improve the health of neighbourhoods.
In New York, we dove deeper into the role of anchor organisations, with deep roots in local communities, in supporting health.
In Melbourne, we saw how changes in infrastructure can help to embed health outcomes in the development of urban areas and cities.
In Toronto, we learned how data and technology can be used to identify and build an accurate picture of health issues.
In Mexico City, we saw how bringing together experts from different sectors helped them to tackle urban health challenges.
