Wildfires, economic slumps, heat waves and food shortages—cities today face a web of interconnected crises that demand a new, systemic approach to urban wellness. With lives and well-being at stake, it’s time to rethink how to tackle these complex challenges.
The Research Institute for Urban Wellness sees urban wellness as more than an abstract idea; it is a practical way to address real challenges in city living. Through partnerships and dialogues with grassroots, non-for-profits, governments and industry stakeholders, we are researching how to revitalize public spaces, improve safety and support vibrant urban life.
Healthy, resilient cities
Our goal is to work with you and our partners to build a foundation for sustainable, resilient cities that support our communities’ well-being. We aim to accomplish this goal in three ways:
- exploring how wellness initiatives are created, sustained and experienced in cities around the globe
- identifying and building practical methods to strengthen the governance of urban wellness
- creating a collaborative community of researchers and practitioners of urban wellness
Urban wellness can be defined in many ways. We’d like to know what you think. Complete this short survey to help us understand your perspective on urban wellness.
