Cities suffer from many environmental, climate change and health problems. Poor urban and transport planning is part of the problem, but can also be part of the solution. There is great potential for improvement through targeted and integrated policies. However, the urban environment is a complex interlinked system. Decision-makers need enhanced understanding of the linkages involved, cities need better knowledge, and multi-sectorial approaches are needed to tackle the current problems. Urban Transitions 2022 will address science and practice and provide pathways to low carbon, liveable, equitable and healthy cities.
Topics include:
- Cities (concepts)
- Land use and transport (interrelations, planning, design and engineering)
- Planning, environment and health (exposures, epidemiology, health impacts)
