We all need to learn from research. The ‘City Know-how’ posts unlock lessons arising from the research published in the Cities & Health journal.

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.
