find health everywhere
whoever your community: learner, innovator, resident, worker
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.

what would you look for in a healthy place?
let's reunite health with the environment around us
Whether in work, on campus, or in our streets we’ve lost our ability to choreograph the physical and natural environment around us to enable healthy lifestyles. Who has time to think about wellbeing, campuses, neighbourhoods, work environment, or streets when mainly we’re rushing through them from a –> b?
Maybe we assume ‘the experts’ are just getting on with it but actually they haven’t been speaking to each other. This needs addressed in a number of ways but let’s see it happen so that individuals and communities wherever they are take ownership in their environment and find the right way for them to be healthy and happy.
