A plan for healthy urban development in the Merode region (HEALTHY CORE)

More and more the importance of a healthy living environment is coming to the fore. With this project we want to contribute to the knowledge about healthy strengthening of residential areas in peri-urban regions. By involving local care providers in the planning process, we are looking for a way to make better use of the area through the care sector, on the one hand, and to increase the natural capital in the centers in relation to their health. The project results in guidelines for designers and planners for healthy urban design. In addition, the project is considered to be a learning process towards interdisciplinary cooperation between spatial planning and the care and health sector at the level of policy, research and practice.
