The Healthy Urban Project aims to understand how local urban places impact health and how this understanding can be used to help cities become healthier and happier places to live.

As part of this project, we will be hosting a series of online seminars that will aim to explore a variety of research topics relating to the impact of urban environments on health by inviting guest speakers to share their research.
The 2026 seminars will take place online at 11am on the last Wednesday of the chosen month.
