Healthy urban planning can be challenging and complex. With our practical, evidence-based approach, we can help you quickly assess the health impact of your whole plan, and see how small adjustments could make a big difference to the lives of local people. 

Generate health in your city with the most comprehensive urban health tool.

The Healthy Cities Generator is a freely available digital tool that makes it easy for urban planners, health professionals and policy makers to incorporate health factors into urban planning and urban factors into health policy.

Our Team

We understand urban planning and health as two closely related concepts: health as a planning tool, and the city as a tool for health. That’s why we combine theory with practice, placing the health and well-being of individuals at the centre of urban policies and projects.

Over the past few years, we have developed projects that lie at the intersection of urbanism and health, between design and evaluation, between research and practice. 

Discover our approach to urban planning with our 5 determinants of health.
