Upcoming Conference
We welcome you to join our international network of interdisciplinary urban health researchers, policymakers, practitioners, business leaders, and grassroots community advocates to exchange ideas, advance research and drive action across sectors, transforming urban environments to improve health, equity, and environmental sustainability in cities worldwide.

19th International Conference on Urban Health
Growing Our Global Community. Driving Action. Ensuring Equity.The International Society for Urban Health (ISUH) is delighted to invite you to join our 19th International Conference on Urban Health (ICUH) taking place in Atlanta, USA, 6-9 November 2023.
There is a growing body of urban health research and evidence, yet gaps exist in knowledge generation, translation, and application for urban design and health practice. Cross-sectoral collaboration and multidisciplinary training and action are needed to better bridge disciplines and better define urban health within a global context. The ICUH serves as a key convergence point to advance and support the generation, exchange, and application of urban health programs and policies.
