CALL:

-
What makes a city livable? Transport, housing, health and environment. Affordability and education. Other criteria applied may encompass food access, job opportunities or walkability. Inclusivity and the politics of participation also come into play.
The past two decades have seen an exponential rise of livability measures and in relation to public health, wellbeing and accessibility. This conference seeks to develop strands that engage with walkability, transport access, food deserts, and poor-quality public space. Equally, these strands are interested in the ‘Smart City’ and the implementation of digital health services across our urban centers; the design of our neighborhoods for mental wellbeing; and the ‘economics’ of healthy cities. Accessibility and design for life are equally key themes.
These public health, wellbeing and rights issues will be considered as part of the whole range of issues necessary for the creation of livable cities. Public health professionals will thus share platforms with architects, urban planners and sociologists engaged with questions of health from their particular discipline perspectives.
Organizers: City Tech – New York (CUNY) with City, University of London and Amps.
Publishers: Routledge and UCL Press
