Cities have long been known to be society’s predominant engine of innovation and wealth creation, yet they are also the main source of pollution and disease. Cities are often characterized by high levels of environmental exposures such as air pollution and noise, heat island effects and lack of green space and physical activity levels. Multi-sectorial approaches are needed to tackle the current problems and therefore we have organized an international conference with world-leading experts on urban and transport planning, architecture, environmental science and exposures, physical activity, public health to discuss the current status and challenges and solutions in cities. Urban Transitions 2018 aims to promote healthy urban development by bringing together different disciplines working within cities and presenting the state of the art research and providing solutions to and future healthy visions of our cities. This conference is going to be held from 25th to 27th November 2018 in Sitges, Barcelona Spain.
Oral and poster abstracts are now invited on the conference topics and should be submitted using the online abstract submission system.
