Towards healthy urbanism: inclusive, equitable and sustainable (THRIVES)

CUSSH researchers have developed a framework of building models of health impacts of urban design and testing them through transdisciplinary workshops.​

Pilot projects, models of stakeholder motivations and flexibility to use acquired data have been found to be key to better urban design.
