Project Description
Our natural and built environment and social fabric are critical determinants of health and well-being. Three quarters of the European population now live in cities and urbanisation continues at high speed, driven by economic growth and employment opportunities. Related environmental changes e.g. air and water pollution, transportation problems, reduced social cohesion and stress affect physical as well as mental health.
European cities are increasingly taking action and introducing policies to become more sustainable and liveable, adapting to climate change, investing in a range of smart and innovative solutions such as clean and sustainable transport, higher energy efficiency and stronger social cohesion.
