The world we know is changing.

A demographic transition is occurring.
By 2050, two-thirds of the world’s population will reside in urban communities, and we are currently in the last decade for realizing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Now, the COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the urgency for addressing issues of health equity in urban communities.
The challenging process of translating urban health into practice has created barriers toward the implementation of urban health initiatives and difficulty linking urban health to SDG targets and outcomes.

We call this gap between the science of urban health and the application of urban health in communities the Urban Health Divide.

At UrbanHealth360, we are committed to bridging this divide! 

We envision a world where urban health advocates at all levels will have the knowledge, information, and tools needed to facilitate their work on the ground and to influence policy decisions at the local community, municipal, national, and global levels.

This is why UrbanHealth360 is the first global organization to catalyze Applied Urban Health.
