Introduction

Healthy Cities and Sustainable Cities are two sides of the same coin: both place citizens’ well-being and sustainability at the heart of urban transformation. There is currently a lack of programs that address this need for urban planners and designers who are trained to achieve some of the sustainable development goals in a comprehensive manner through urban design.

This master's degree was set up in response to this situation, to provide a conceptual and methodological basis for planning and designing the city based on well-being and sustainability principles, and addresses both the professional and research dimensions. Regarding the former, experts trained to promote well-being and good health for citizens through sustainable urban design and planning are needed. In relation to the latter, new research approaches to study the links between complex urban systems and health are also necessary.
