Cities can build stronger, healthier, and more resilient communities by tailoring resilience strategies to the unique vulnerabilities and strengths of each neighbourhood. This approach ensures resilience is integrated into both emergency response and the long-term development of urban areas.

As the global urban population grows, food production and housing are currently ‘competing’ with each other for land on the edges of cities. Both essential urban components, this research supports town planning and urban design professionals to explore alternative peri-urban land use typologies, where food production and housing co-exist for greater urban health and resilience.
Our urban environments are getting hotter, yet urban design and planning solutions which can mitigate heat are rarely used. There is a need for further education and strategic planning policy positions to support heat mitigation policy and practice in the built environment.
We highlight the beneficial interactions of “sensescapes”, the combination of soundscapes and natural landscapes, on psycho-physiological health. Our work shows the significance of interdisciplinary urban design and planning in harnessing these benefits – to enhance health and urban sustainability through the integration of nature’s influences on the body and mind.
Urban greenness affects people’s physical and mental health. Residential greenness is associated with reductions in cortisol levels after six months in patients with chronic heart failure undergoing rehabilitation.
We compared cross-city differences in the walking environment in Madrid and Philadelphia as a case study
How do we develop liveable cities? Researchers in St. Louis surveyed multiple disciplines to see what skills we need to make future places healthy, equitable,
