How Can Data Help Us Build Healthier Cities?

Urban health is increasingly shaped by how our cities are designed, managed, and lived in. In the face of climate change, rapid urbanization, and global health risks, turning data into actionable insights is essential for more effective public policies.

“From Data to Action” is a workshop that brings together experts in public health, urban planning, technology, and research to explore how data science can guide us toward healthier, more resilient, and sustainable cities.
