Healthy Buildings - Healthy Cities
As more people continue to live in cities globally, fostering healthy urban environments becomes essential for enhancing the quality of life for an ever-growing population. Central to this is the question: How can we design buildings and urban spaces that positively impact health wellbeing and productivity? It starts with the structures where we spend the majority of our time – homes, and work spaces. How can we create urban spaces that incentivise healthy living? How can we improve housing quality to benefit both younger and older generations alike? This seminar will explore the intersection of health, architectural integrity, and urban planning to address these crucial challenges.

The Liveable City
The Liveable City is a celebration of architecture and urban planning where central and local government, businesses, politicians, professionals and the general public take part in talks, seminars, and debates

The two-day event features four independent seminars addressing the question of how cities can become better places to live, work and play as well whilst increasing quality of life for everyone.

The event is organised by the Royal Danish Embassy in London in partnership with Glasgow City Council, Stirling Council, the Scottish Cities Alliance and Creative Denmark and aims to bring together best practices from Denmark and Scotland in architecture and city development.
