As we navigate a world marked by pressing health challenges and environmental crises, we face critical questions about the impact of urban living on individual health. With “urban penalties” affecting diverse populations, it is essential to understand how fragmented urban policies often address health issues in isolation.
So, what does health citizenship mean in today’s urban landscape? How can community-led actions and effective governance reshape our environments to promote holistic well-being?
Join us for The Healthy City, a free co-design event in collaboration with students and tutors from the Bartlett School of Planning at UCL where we will explore these issues through discussion, debate and playful making activities.
This is a free event but places are limited. Booking will open in January.
Refreshments and informal networking from 6:15 for a prompt start at 6.45pm
About the series
WEdesign is The Glass-House’s annual series of free interactive public events, held online and in-person in cities across the UK, where we explore collaborative design in placemaking through discussion, debate and playful co-design activities.
Our online events create provocative spaces for conversation and are open to participants across the UK and further afield. Our Think Pieces bring together a series of blogs from a range of voices to explore the WEdesign series theme.
WEdesign in-person events are safe spaces for diverse audiences to come together to explore challenging issues and to work collaboratively to generate ideas and solutions, co-designing propositions for changes to culture, policy and practice through hands-on making activities, discussion and debate. These events are co-facilitated by students from our WEdesign Student Programme, in collaboration with our partner universities in cities across the UK.
WEdesign is supported by the Ove Arup Foundation.
