Development and evaluation of healthy cities

Abstract

The Healthy Cities and Sustainable Development Goals are interlinked, and the Healthy Cities movement has received widespread response and support worldwide over the past 30 years. The European Healthy Cities Networks covers about 1,400 cities. China started the Healthy Cities Movement in 1994 and put forward the Healthy China Strategy in the report of 19th national congress of CPC. Based on the impact of COVID-19 and Henan floods on urban health, it is necessary to incorporate some unconventional indicators into the Healthy Cities evaluation indicator framework. In addition, structured data cannot fully describe certain indicators, so the collection of unstructured data is equally important.
