Building Healthy Communities

Aims and Objectives

Health is important for the wellbeing of individuals and society, but a healthy population is also a prerequisite for economic productivity and prosperity. The Lisbon strategy underlines the importance of health as a key factor for economic growth. However there is a limited awareness of the contributions that a "healthy" urban policy can make to tackle challenges in health. The Building Healthy Communities project proposes to establish a thematic network which aims to capitalise knowledge and practice on urban factors influencing health. It will specifically focus on:

Health impact assessment and Urban Health Indicators
Active Ageing
Use of Structural Funds in developing "health Gains"
Healthy Places, Healthy Environments
