Making physical
activity more
accessible and
enjoyable
Accessible, safe and enjoyable physical activity is the foundation for resilient and healthy communities. Cities are well-placed to promote physical activity, which has the potential to facilitate active mobility and create safe, green and active spaces.
Cities for Better Health takes an active city approach to addressing physical inactivity. Our efforts are focused on enhancing active mobility, recreation and school environments, specifically for underserved populations and children.
We accelerate physical activity initiatives in collaboration with local partners and communities to foster inclusive engagement and drive sustainable change.
