Impact of urban design choices on health and wellbeing
Understanding the impact of the environment on people's health and wellbeing is crucial, especially with climate change and biodiversity loss. The challenge to ensure healthy and sustainable urban development has become more complex due to population growth, urban expansion and densification. Addressing these challenges involves integrating the three domains of health, climate adaptivity and biodiversity to explore how urban design choices and interventions aimed at creating sustainable living environments can impact people’s health and wellbeing. This Incubator builds on an existing partnership 'Building a healthy neighbourhood' and wants to include additional expertise and extend to also focus on the consequences of urban design choices on climate-adaptivity and biodiversity on residents’ health and wellbeing.
