Transforming cities and health: policy, innovation and practice

CITY KNOW-HOW

Human health and planetary health are influenced by city lifestyles, city leadership, and city development. For both, worrying trends are leading to increasing concern and it is imperative that human health, health equity and environmental impacts all become core foci in urban policy.

This will require a transformation in cities and health policy, in innovation and in practice. Changing the ways we do things requires concerted action, the journal Cities & Health is dedicated to supporting the flow of knowledge, in all directions, to help make this happen. The journals mission is to foster communication between researchers, practitioners, policy-makers, communities, and decision-makers in cities.

In order to strengthen this community of interest, we want to include many and varied voices, including those from practitioners and researchers at all stages of their careers who are trying to support health and health equity in everyday urban lives. Please join in these conversations.
