Public health is not only a matter of protecting and promoting individual well-being, but a collective condition strongly influenced by both the environmental context and the strategies implemented by local governments. Even when it comes to infrastructure, services, green areas, transport and cycle-pedestrian paths, it is necessary to verify the impact on the well-being of communities, or to design transformations through an experience-based approach. The link between the morpho-typological characteristics of urban contexts and the health of the population is at the heart of Urban Health, an approach based on the ability to systematize a plurality of factors: what are the health impacts represented by the main chronic-degenerative diseases whose onset derives from the quality of the urban environment and certain lifestyles. What are the environmental risk factors? How do air, noise, visual and soil pollution, vehicular traffic, safety hazards and the lack of attractiveness of places affect health? Finally, which of these instances have been accelerated by the ongoing pandemic emergency? Speakers: Andrea Rebecchi (Architect, PhD in Architecture, Built environment and Construction engineering (ABC) - Politecnico di Milano) Fiammetta Fabris (Director of the Health Division - Allianz SpA) Veronica Fradigrada (Key Account Manager - Allianz Global Investors) Christian Coletto (Sales Director - Pictet Italia) Presenter Mark Perna (Journalist expert in digital life and innovation)
