Mission

We aim to accelerate healthy and sustainable development in urban(ising) spaces globally.

What we do

Our focus is on urban places and the spaces that influence the air we breathe, the ways we move, and the food we eat.

We work at the nexus of health and climate to inform action that improves health, increases climate resilience and advances sustainable development goals.
Through our advocacy, practice and learning pillars, we work to support efforts that ensure anyone living in or working on cities anywhere is empowered to make the urban better everywhere.
Youth-led precision ADVOCACY

is a scalable data-driven advocacy movement that leverages citizen science, technology and physical activity to increase the demand for healthy environments and the involvement of youth in decision-making in cities worldwide.

An urban health PRACTICE

supports partners in aligning urban infrastructure and development discourse, policy and practice for health and climate resilience.

Transdisciplinary LEARNING

UrbanBetter’s advocacy and practice pillars are underpinned by the university-based transdisciplinary and training Academy, which generates evidence and addresses capacity needs in Africa
