The project:

URBANOME aims to build a common European framework to evaluate the multisectoral urban policies, supporting the approach Health in all Policies of the WHO. The overall goal of URBANOME it is to promote health, well-being and urban livability, through the systematic integration of the theme of health into urban policies and citizens' activities.
Integrating health, environmental stressors and social equality into public and private activities helps alleviate a wide range of contemporary urban challenges, especially social cohesion and health inequality, and promotes the transition of cities towards sustainable, climate-proof, smart and inclusive urban economies.

The URBANOME approach will be applied through pilot projects built by Urban Living Labs in Aarhus, Athens, Aberdeen, Madrid, Milan, Ljubljana, Stuttgart, Paris and Thessaloniki.
