International Society for Urban Health
Achieving improvements in urban health is essential to global health and achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The International Society for Urban Health (ISUH) says it is the only global, non-governmental organisation that focuses fully on evidence for action to address the broad determinants of urban health and health equity.
The ISUH understands that the health challenges in urban environments are complex and require interdisciplinary collaboration among a variety of stakeholders, including researchers, educators, policymakers, practitioners, community and business leaders, and urban health advocates. The organisation is singular in its ability to promote and facilitate participation from sectors including urban planning, architecture, transportation, housing, energy, and environmental science, to make cities and urban communities healthier and more equitable by improving the built, social, economic and physical environments.
