Health prevention from the Public Space Design. The URB_HealthS project as a knowledge transfer experience

Urban planning has formed a binomial with health since its origins as a discipline. The demands derived from the welfare society, environmental sustainability and the health circumstances of COVID-19 testify to the need to update this relationship. The aim of the URB_HealthS project is to study the ways of endorsing health in the contemporary city through the urban design of public space. A knowledge transfer model between the academy and the local society in the field of urban health and public space has been defined, whose theoretical structure and implementation in three European localities is presented.
