Health research and practice in the construction of healthy urban futures

The Habitat Research Center is launching its activities on the theme of Health by bringing together researchers in Switzerland working on various aspects of health in urban contexts with the ambition of fostering collaboration, exploring future perspectives, and creating new research synergies.

Following the presentations in the first part, a panel discussion in the second part of the afternoon will invite the researchers to exchange their views about the validity and potential of an ambitious interdisciplinary research on the theme of urban walking, as a fundamental component of a healthy city.
