Leiden European City of Science 2022, in collaboration with the New European Bauhaus initiative of the European Commission and the Urban Health Campus Almere Leiden, present a programme entitled ‘Urban Health’ on Thursday, the 13th of October 2022.
The multidimensionality of health in an urban environment serves as lead of the day. Urban health will, therefore, be presented in a context of environment, inclusiveness and business. The dimensions of urban health will be explored by way of 1) academic brainstorming; 2) turning academic ideas in applied research; and 3) implementation of scientific knowledge in daily practice. We will invite participants to share their own views on urban health. All together, we will arrive at a multi-faceted view on health in an urban environment.
