GCHU: Rethinking healthy cities

Debates on healthy cities have intensified in the context of urbanisation, socio-spatial inequality, and growing attention to the links between urban environments and health. While planning and design frameworks seek to embed health in the built environment, questions remain about how far urban health can be intentionally produced through such approaches.

This seminar will draw on empirical research in urban geography spanning housing, urban form, mobility, liveability and urban nature to examine how urban health is shaped through relationships across scales between people, places, and the more-than-human, and to highlight tensions and uneven outcomes that emerge across these domains.

The seminar offers a basis for critical reflection and discussion across urban health, geography, planning, and related fields.

Speaker: Dr Mirjam Schindler, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand; Visiting Research Associate at the Global Centre on Healthcare and Urbanisation
