Our co-founder, Sebastiaan van Herk, PhD, was recently interviewed by AZERTAC and REAL TV at World Urban Forum 2026 in Baku to share how Healthy Cities can apply its methodology to real-world cases.
As Sebastiaan highlighted during his interviews:
“The current stage of urban development urgently requires bridging the gap between what is already known at the policy and data level and what is actually implemented on the ground.”
“We must move from general concepts of sustainable development to concrete actions that directly impact people’s lives.”
That is exactly why we developed our digital tool, the Healthy Cities Generator, to translate complex urban data into direct health and economic impacts. We can mobilise investment, get political support and engage people.
