Urban Insight is based on a series of insight reports written by Sweco experts. It is a long-term initiative with a different theme each year. The theme for 2021 is Urban Health & Wellbeing!

How can we transform our urban living spaces for the better? This year, Sweco will focus the Urban Insight program on Urban Health and Wellbeing. Covid-19 has shown us that there are still many health challenges facing society today. 

There are three key areas to raising the overall health in urban societies: sustainable mobility, healthy cities and buildings and secure water systems. Sweco experts examine our past and present to image a near future in which cities are hubs of health and happiness. 

During the year experts across Europe explore the concept of “the city as a vaccine” and highlight how health and the climate crisis can be tackled or mitigated by engineering and design practice.
