Our Team

We understand urban planning and health as two closely related concepts: health as a planning tool, and the city as a tool for health. That’s why we combine theory with practice, placing the health and well-being of individuals at the centre of urban policies and projects.

Over the past few years, we have developed projects that lie at the intersection of urbanism and health, between design and evaluation, between research and practice.

The Healthy Cities Generator's holistic approach makes it much better than any other tools out there. When applying it to the Seacombe River Corridor masterplan, we found that its real strength is putting health on the design table, along with all the other required rules and regulations. The tool’s visual outputs are really useful for understanding the different impacts we can expect from an urban plan and provided us with valuable insights moving forwards in the planning process.
