We all need to learn from research. The ‘City Know-how’ posts unlock lessons arising from the research published in the Cities & Health journal. Whatever your role, or interest, in cities, I hope you will find something stimulating, something of interest and maybe even something that you can put straight into practice.

Visit https://www.cityknow-how.com/ for the latest policy and practice briefings. This site only contains legacy content.

Cities & Health is a journal dedicated to providing an innovative international platform for consolidating research and know-how for city development to support human health.

You are invited to engage with, and help develop, Cities & Health through submitting commentary, views, case studies and research. You can find more information about Cities & Health here.
