Year: 2024
Type: conference-abstract
Abstract: Urban planning plays a critical role in shaping health outcomes. Recognising the interconnectedness of urban health determinants and leveraging frameworks like Health in All Policies, cities can be transformed into health-promoting environments. Despite the challenges, evidence indicates that interventions targeting urban determinants can markedly improve health outcomes. The poster presentation advocates for a comprehensive health-centric urban planning approach that aligns with the planetary health paradigm, which acknowledges the interdependence of human, animal, and environmental health to promote sustainable and equitable urban development.
