The WHO Healthy Cities programme engages local governments in health development through a process of political commitment, institutional change, capacity building, partnership-based planning and innovative projects. It promotes comprehensive and systematic policy and planning with a special emphasis on health inequalities and urban poverty, the needs of vulnerable groups, participatory governance and the social, economic and environmental determinants of health. It also strives to include health considerations in economic, regeneration and urban development efforts.
Over 1200 cities and towns from over 30 countries in the WHO European Region are healthy cities. These are linked through national, regional, metropolitan and thematic Healthy Cities networks, as well as the WHO European Healthy Cities Network for more advanced cities.
The WHO European Healthy Cities Network consists of a network of cities from around Europe that are committed to health and sustainable development. They are designated to the WHO European Healthy Cities Network on the basis of criteria that are renewed every five years. Each five-year phase focuses on a number of core priority themes and is launched with a political declaration and a set of strategic goals. The overarching goal of Phase V (2009–2013) is Health and health equity in all local policies. Cities are focusing on three core themes: caring and supportive environments, healthy living and healthy urban design. Phase V is supported by the Zagreb Political Declaration for Healthy Cities in the European Region.
Healthy Cities is a global movement. Healthy Cities networks are established in all six WHO regions.
