This episode explores the role of urban development in shaping healthier, more resilient cities. From walkability and green infrastructure to transport, density and inclusive design, it examines how the way we plan and build cities directly affects wellbeing, equity and environmental outcomes.

Why it’s important

 With most of the world’s population now living in cities, urban development decisions shape climate impact, public health and social connection at scale. When done well, urban development can reduce emissions, improve quality of life and strengthen communities. when it is done poorly, it deepens inequality and environmental harm. The choices we make today will define how cities function for generations.
