Resource description:

The Healthy Urban Design Index (HUDI) assesses the extent to which the way European cities are configured supports health. It examines 13 indicators from around 1,000 cities and establishes a score for each of them, as well as an overall score for each city.

This study introduces a high-resolution spatial index developed for European cities. It examines and combines policy-relevant indicators related to urban design, sustainable transportation, environmental quality, and greenspace accessibility—key factors influencing human health and wellbeing.
