The Global Urban Health Community is organizing a lecture series on "City Diagnoses" to operationalize the previously published policy brief of urban health. Each week an expert from academia or practice is presenting their work on integrated assessments of urban health, as well as the challenges and opportunities arising.    

Global urbanization is an ongoing megatrend. Cities are places that offer both opportunities and challenges for human health, and their dynamic development makes them “spaces of opportunity” for different futures. “City diagnoses” are intended as a tool to help identity a city’s health opportunities and challenges, develop a shared vision of the future for the local context, and create the basis for health-promoting action for a healthy future of cities. Together with interested parties and invited practitioners, the Global Urban Health Community Lecture Series will explore the concept of “city diagnoses” from different perspectives.

In today's lecture Jeffrey Butler of the TU Dresden and Co-Speaker of the DGSMP "Gesundheitsberichtserstattung" will give insights into the fine scale health reporting at the community level. The lecture will be in German.
