Cities for happy and healthy people.
CITIES FOR HEALTHY AND HAPPY PEOPLE
Sustainable urban planning is about planning for people. It means putting the needs, health and well-being of people and communities at the heart of the urban planning process. We design and execute architectural interventions to strategically improve the quality of life of people in cities.
SUSTAINABLE CITIES
AND COMMUNITIES
UN 11ᵗʰ /juː ɛn ɪˈlɛv(ə)nθ/ is an international interdisciplinary group of award-winning architects, designers, strategists, behaviouralists and cross-sector experts, united around the
11th Sustainable Development Goal of the United Nations (SDG11).
We are on a mission to reshape contemporary culture through architecture and turn cities into beautiful and sustainable home for happy and healthy humankind.
Our ultimate goal is to help transform the cities into habitats of the future, where economy, technology, humans and nature coexist and thrive as a healthy and self-sustaining organism.
HUMAN CENTRIC URBAN PLANNING
Society, human health and well-being depend very much on how everyday life is organized.
Studies show that approximately 75% of our health depends on the environment in which we develop our lives; that is, the combination of lifestyles, built environment, natural surroundings and social relationships.
The built environment can encourage or discourage active lifestyles, car dependency, social cohesion, and much more, which affects our health. Public spaces, buildings, neighbourhoods and cities as a whole have an impact on physical, mental and environmental health.
This means that health is largely determined outside the health sector. Urban planning is key to all of those determinants and can provide multiple positive benefits to improve overall health.
