European cities are rapidly facing the impacts of climate change, prompting the need for innovative and responsive urban solutions.
This conference brings together architects, public health experts, urban planners, researchers, policymakers, and local authorities to explore the most pressing challenges in urban health, bridge the gap between policy and practice, and strengthen cross-sector collaboration.
Through the exchange of research, experiences, and best practices, participants will contribute to shaping healthier, more inclusive, and climate-resilient cities for all.
