Day 3 of the #Helsinki2025 #HealthyUrbanPolicy study tour was a dive into Healthy Neighbourhoods. 🌳

From urban design and placemaking to transportation systems and cycling infrastructure, we explored how Helsinki weaves public health, sustainability, and equity into every layer of city planning.

Day 5 of the #Helsinki2025 #HealthyUrbanPolicy. Our final day was a powerful close to an inspiring week. We spent the morning with a warm welcome at the Raivio Bumann studio, where Hossam Hewidy presented his latest research on urban regeneration in Helsinki.

Day 4 of the #Helsinki2025 #HealthyUrbanPolicy study tour took us to the district of Malmi.

We learned about the health promotion related to physical activity in Malmi from City staff Lilja Grönroos and Meri Virta.

💡 The day gave us much to reflect on, including how cross-sector collaboration between researchers, planners, and communities is essential to creating healthier cities.
