“Urban health is systemically relevant and critically linked to social, economic, and ecological systems in all countries of the world,” explains in Franz Gatzweiler, Executive Director of the International Science Council’s Global Science Programme on a Systems Approach to Urban Health and Wellbeing, in the latest IAP Urban Health video.
