TUESDAY 15 TH JUNE 2021 Theme: Promoting Healthy Urban Environments: New entry points towards healthier urban environments and case studies from the region Description: Planning for healthy cities is the UN-Habitat programme dedicated to Support urban leaders, decision- makers, health and planning professionals on integrated planning and design approaches placing eco- social health and well-being at the centre of development strategies. This involves building the capacity of local authorities and stakeholders to deploy planning principles to meet local needs through feasible and health-centred design. The overall objective of the pre-conference workshop is to have different presentations that can illustrate the various and diverse entry points towards healthier urban environments. To better understand the relationships between the different actors/sectors involved in urbanization and health, learnt from each other, and boost the implementation and localisation of tools and initiatives at the local level. |
