Urban Habitats is a healthy urbanism practice working at the intersection of public health, urban design, architecture, and spatial planning to support healthier, more equitable and sustainable places.

Based in Wales, we work internationally with organisations to bring together research, policy, and practice into clear and actionable approaches.

why this matters

Health doesn’t just happen in hospitals.

The conditions for health are shaped by the places we live, work, play, learn, and move through every day. From our streets and neighbourhoods to schools and workplaces, the built and natural environment plays a central role in shaping wellbeing.

At the same time, responsibility for these environments is often fragmented across sectors and disciplines. This can limit our ability to create places that support healthy lives.

Our work focuses on bringing these perspectives together in a practical and proportionate way, supporting organisations and communities to respond to these challenges.
