COMMONS LAB ANTWERP at the ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL HEALTH CONFERENCE: TAKING THE URBAN TURN
Our world is ‘urbanizing’ rapidly: Two out of every three people are likely to be living in cities or other urban areas by 2050. Do we need to adapt our existing health systems thinking and current models and paradigms? Cities are often unhealthy places to live, but they also offer opportunities for social change, innovation and inter-sectoral solutions, including in health. How to achieve universal access to health in cities? What is the best way to organize health services and the health system in urban settings? How does addressing the impact of urban life impact on the health of urban populations?
Koen Wynants, founder of Commons Lab, will be discussant in one of the sessions
