Dear Friends,
Today on World Cities Day, IDF Europe joins the United Nations to promote a better urban future in which access to healthy lifestyles will be favoured.
Health should be at the heart of every political decision and IDF Europe calls for strong regulation at the national and international level to facilitate the development of healthier and more liveable cities as defined by the liveable cities program of Health Bridge.
We also encourage all cities to take part in the World Health Organisation European Healthy Cities Network, a group of cities committed to health and sustainable development around Europe.
The pandemic of type 2 diabetes has strong connections with rapid urbanisation around the world.
Urban planning must be re-though to build healthier and more liveable cities.

With kind regards,
The IDF Europe team
