We are happy to announce again that the Global Urban Health Community has published a new Community Paper!
City Diagnoses: Creating a healthy future for city dwellers
Cities play a vital role in the transition to a sustainable and healthy future. This paper from our Global Urban Health Community provides a comprehensive analysis of local health risks and resources, enabling the development of targeted interventions that pave the way for healthier urban futures.
This community paper is the result of a lecture series conducted in 2024. The series pursued two primary objectives: (i) identifying instruments and initiatives that that capture small-scale, integrative, and participatory health-relevant data in urban contexts, and (ii) synthesizing practical insights regarding the implementation of diverse diagnostic tools and initiatives, including challenges, opportunities, and lessons learned.
Written contributions to the community paper were made by:
Timo Falkenberg and
Dennis Schmiege (Co-Community Managers) and members of the core working group.
