This year’s Congress explores the plenary theme 'Breakdown or breakthrough? New strategies for healthier cities', providing a vital global forum for exchanging knowledge at the intersection of research, policy, investment and practice in how we plan, design and deliver healthier and more sustainable cities and communities.

Across the two days, delegates will have the opportunity to experience keynote talks, panel discussions, interactive workshops, Videos+Posters presentations, and private roundtables, with world-leading speakers sharing the latest research findings, innovations and real-world projects.

We’ve worked hand-in-hand with our Destination Partners, Salford City Council and MediaCity, and partners across the Greater Manchester city region, the UK and around the world in the public, private and community sectors, to curate a rich and novel programme that advances health equity and climate-resilient city development locally, nationally and globally, as well as giving a platform to some of the most novel and innovative ideas in the field of healthy cities.

Alongside the content-rich conference agenda, explore the Final Programme to learn more about the vibrant social and networking programme, including the Awards dinner and ceremony at Old Trafford Stadium on 20 October, and a Study Tour and other activities, which take place on 20-22 October.
