Objectives
U-CARE aims to establish new learning modules in the participating HEIs based on the UrbanCare 3-step methodology: 1) urban health research, 2) neighbourhood diagnostics, and 3) decision-making workshops.
The main objectives are:
-
Knowledge Transfer: Implement UrbanCare's methodology in four cities with different climates across Europe, focusing on collecting high-quality urban health data and developing neighbourhood-level action plans.
-
Capacity Building: Develop an urban health spatial planning platform (U-Care Platform) to support climate and health decision-making, enable cross-HEI collaboration, and provide valuable training resources for students and professionals.
-
Curriculum Development: Create five learning modules that equip students and academics with practical skills in urban health planning, environmental assessment, and data management, bridging the gap between research and real-world impact in urban health and climate resilience.
