Joining the dots for healthy communities: practical approaches to wellbeing and urban renewal

Cities have always been seen as a source of social and economic opportunity – the challenge now is to achieve these aspirations while protecting our global home. We need ‘climate positive’ thinking – shifting from crisis mode to taking deliberate and proactive steps toward betterment of places and practices to ensure health and wellbeing for both humans and the natural world. 

In this thought-provoking discussion, a panel of experts bring together perspectives around public health, social value, community wellbeing, regenerative place-making, neighbourhood renewal, climate adaptation and urban resilience to uncover holistic solutions and strategies for making the transition to a safe, inclusive, and prosperous future.
