Spanish cities win on healthy urban design

The Healthy Urban Design Index assessed 917 European cities based on 13 indicators* connected to health and wellbeing, including access to green spaces and sustainable transport. Here are the highest-scoring cities for select magnitudes.

The 13 indicators were selected based on scientific evidence linking them to physical and/or mental health and were grouped into four domains — urban design, sustainable transport, environmental quality and access to green spaces. For each indicators, a reference value was defined based on previous studies or recommendations from experts or international organizations.
