Healthy City Design 2022
The Next Frontier: Valuing diversity, inclusivity and opportunity
October 10-11, 2022
London, UK
The next frontier’ will see new amalgams of expertise and knowledge addressing the vital questions around inclusion and diversity in the professional disciplines in design, technology, urbanism and health. Business organisations will lean into the city as part of their ESG (environmental, social and governance) commitments. Architects and engineers will plan for the complexity that comes with including a wider range of needs and desires. Public health experts will pilot a fresh approach, and technology providers will seize the moment.
For our 2022 Congress, we’re interested in receiving proposals for papers, posters and workshops in the spheres of practice, research and policy that capture key elements of this dynamic picture. We want to look at inclusive ideas and initiatives in relation to such topics as homes and neighbourhoods, work and workplace, public space and urban design, climate and community, transport and mobility, and smart cities and healthcare services.
Previous editions of the Healthy City Design International Congress have looked at creating a shared culture of wellness, reducing health inequalities, building resilience in cities, and dealing with the impact of Covid-19. In 2022, we pull all of these themes together and ask: how can design for inclusion, diversity and social equity support healthier lives in a thriving urban realm?
