What we do
We believe we can improve global health by focusing on cities. The places that we grow up, live and work impact how healthy we are.
We know that there are more extreme health outcomes in urban areas in the UK. London, like other cities, is home to the best and worst health – often side by side.
We’re committed to achieving health equity by helping urban areas become healthier places for everyone to live in.
