Research for city practice

SUPPORTING CITY KNOW-HOW

This article comprises ‘City Know-how’ briefings, designed to translate research findings into actionable insights for urban health practitioners. The purpose is to support the flow of knowledge for more effective action in promoting and building health while reducing risks for human and planetary health. We hope these briefings will foster connections and conversations among researchers, practitioners, policy-makers, communities, and decision-makers in cities. Cities & Health, together with our partner Building Health Lab and our two global knowledge partners, the International Society for Urban Health and SALUS.Global, invites all stakeholders to join our networks and contribute to the dialogue. A full repository of all published ‘City Know-how’ briefings can be found on our platform at https://www.cityknow-how.com.
