Your health is determined by your circumstances and environment. Factors such as where you live, your education, the environment and your relationships and interactions with friends and family, all have considerable impacts on health. Therefore, all these issues need to be addressed at the same time.
Project Aims...
• Create innovative action for health that emphasises the interaction between people, environment, lifestyles and health.
• Encourage co-operation between departments of key city sectors and promote community participation.
• Generate visibility at local level for health issues.
• Move health high on the political agenda and contribute to the development of healthy city policies.
