Nordic cities have qualities to draw on when it comes to green space, social inclusion and public health. But they are also segregated, characterised by health-related divides and by differences in accessibility to urban amenities. Without careful consideration, the health and well-being of city dwellers can be negatively influenced in overly densified and congested cities, despite sustainability ambitions.
NORDGREEN – Smart Planning for Healthy and Green Nordic Cities; this project is tackling the issue of human wellbeing by developing smart planning and management solutions for well-designed, high-quality greenspaces that promote equity, health and wellbeing. PPGIS participatory method and Evidence-based Design are some of the key frameworks when working with the existing planning projects in the following Nordic cities: Aarhus, Espoo, Ii, Stavanger, Täby and Vilhelmina. The project is funded by NordForsk.
