Imagine if cities were designed like forests to keep people healthy and cool. This work figures out exactly which green spaces—like parks or green roofs—actually improve public health in different climates. It creates a guidebook for city leaders to build urban areas that protect both people and nature.
City planners often lack concrete data to prove that green spaces actually improve public health. This leads to a gap between climate goals and actual health outcomes in urban populations.
A multi-dimensional health indicator set and a database examining the coherence between biodiversity, climate adaptation, and health policy.
If you are a design firm dealing with strict climate-neutral city requirements — this project developed a database on biodiversity and health coherence that helps you justify green infrastructure choices to city councils.
If you are a tech provider dealing with a lack of health-related metrics for green spaces — this project developed a multi-dimensional health indicator set that allows you to quantify the actual health impact of your installations.
If you are a consultant dealing with fragmented climate-health policies — this project developed an evidence-based policy model that connects ecosystem health to human well-being across 4 biogeographic regions.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or implementation costs are not provided.
The project is currently in the pilot phase across 4 biogeographic regions, meaning it is being tested in real-world settings but not yet scaled globally.
Based on available project data, there is no specific mention of licensing terms, though many deliverables are public.
It aligns with the New European Bauhaus and the 100 Climate Neutral and Smart Cities initiatives to ensure a just green transition.
The project is scheduled to run from 2024-01-01 to 2028-06-30.
The consortium is diverse, featuring 19 partners from 12 countries. While dominated by 9 universities, it includes 3 industry partners and 4 SMEs, creating a 16% industry ratio. This mix suggests a strong academic foundation supported by practical tech-sector input and public authority integration.
