Healthy Cities: Designing communities for mental and physical wellbeing

Cities aren’t just where we live; they’re where we build our lives, form connections and chase our dreams. A city designed with health and well-being in mind doesn’t just improve lives – it transforms them, fostering joy and a stronger sense of belonging.

 But how do we create cities that truly care for their people?

 The Healthy Cities panel at LiveableCitiesX Summit – November 27th and 28th 2024 – dives into the art and science of designing communities that prioritize mental and physical well-being.

 Discovering how nature-inspired spaces, urban designs that build social connections and active living initiatives can transform neighborhoods into health-supportive environments. Healthy Cities experts taking the audience through real-world examples where urban design has led to vibrant, healthy communities and practical strategies for cities to create liveable spaces that enrich daily life.

 Mahmoud Dandashly, Chief Business Officer of LEAD Development, emphasizes that creating healthy cities requires more than just infrastructure—it’s about designing spaces that promote both physical and mental well-being.

At LEAD Real Estate Developer, our mission is clear: to create cities that prioritize the health and happiness of their residents. 
​This partnership aligns perfectly with LiveableCitiesX’s mission to drive sustainable urban solutions that enhance the quality of life for residents. LiveableCitiesX brings together urban innovators, thought leaders and changemakers to collaborate on shaping the future of cities worldwide.
