INclusive Health And wellBeing In small and medium size ciTies (H2020-SC5-14-2019-869227)

Access to health and wellbeing may be difficult for people due to their gender, disabilities or minority status, and especially if they live in a peripheral small town or city. To solve this problem, modern approaches are needed to integrate communities and achieve inclusive health and well-being. With this in mind, the EU-funded IN-HABIT project aims to design integrative actions that will be shaped according to the needs of local vulnerable groups in four peripheral small and medium size cities (SMSCs): Cordoba (Spain), Riga (Latvia), Lucca (Italy), and Nitra (Slovakia). They will take the leadership to test visionary and integrated solutions to foster Inclusive Health and Wellbeing (IHW) in SMSCs with a focus on gender and diversity. IN-HABIT visionary approach consists on the innovative mobilization of existing undervalued resources (culture, food, human-animal bonds and environment) to increase IHW. The integrated approach is based on the combination of technological, digital, nature based, cultural, and social innovations in selected urban public spaces. These solutions will be co-designed, co-deployed and co-managed with and by local stakeholders. IN-HABIT will be supported by the city of Bogotá’s (Columbia) former experiences.

 

Objetivos generales

  • To enhance the quality, accessibility, safety, inclusiveness and sense of place of urban public spaces, mobilising undervalued resources to boost IHW, integrating social, digital, cultural, technological and naturebased innovations.
  • To promote healthy behaviours and to increase the socio-economic, relational and psychological wellbeing of citizens in neighbourhoods facing problems and experiencing rapid socioeconomic/demographic changes.
  • To create IN-HUBS, innovative public-private-people partnerships (PPPPs) in each city organised around the focus topic in order to foster new transition management approaches, based on social and institutional innovations and new governance models, and to develop new business models and financial mechanisms based on the concept of polycentric governance of co-created common pool resources.
  • To develop a gender, inclusion and diversity urban planning framework that will address the whole policy cycle, from planning to implementation and evaluation.
  • To develop new impact indicators on IHW by means of an innovative impact assessment framework going beyond monetary and biophysical aspects and recognising the complex interrelationships among economic, psychological, social and relational dimensions of health and wellbeing.
  • To create new business models and to replicate, upscale and disseminate the different visionary and integrated solutions for IHW deployed in each city at different levels.
  • To put cross-cutting issues such as Responsible Research and Innovation, gender and open access in the core of IN-HABIT.
