Tool
Explore the healthiest options for your city.
Healthy urban planning can be challenging and complex. With our practical, evidence-based tool, users can quickly assess the health impact of their whole plan, and see how small adjustments could make a big difference to the lives of local people.

What can we do?

Assess a plan or project
We assess the health impact of your plan or project. We identify appropriate health indicators for follow-up and monitoring.

Design urban health strategies
Based on the analysis of physical, mental and environmental health data, we establish urban planning strategies to ensure the development of a healthy and responsive environment.

Training
We design and implement tailor-made training for technicians and specialists interested in incorporating a health perspective in the planning of urban environments. We also organise trainings to dive into the use of the tool to get the most out of it.

City-to-City learning
We support cities in exchange and learning processes, identifying the needs, designing the exchange plan, providing tools to capitalise on knowledge and building capacity.

Tool development and customisation
We adapt the health impact assessment tool to different contexts (language, environment, priorities) to suit every need.

Research
The health impact assessment tool is in the process of constant updating and growth. We do research to incorporate a broad view of health and its determinants.
