A Manifesto to Redesign the Cities

On the occasion of the day, at ANCI’s President’s Hall in Rome, the signing of the “Manifesto on Health in Cities as a Public Good” will take place.

The document aims to promote an integrated approach linking urban planning, innovation, public health, and physical and mental wellbeing, emphasizing how cities can (and should) be spaces where wellness and physical activity are accessible to everyone.
