Abstract Background Despite a well knowledge about links between urban planning and health, practices’ analyze highlights the difficulty to upgrade health into urban planning decisions. To overcome this issue, the EHESP has initiated a specific research dedicated to the development of tools for a better integration of health & wellbeing at different decision-making-level (urban planning & urban development project). The objective of this presentation is to focus on one dedicated research, Isadora project, and to share how the project was carried out to enable the production of an operational tool dedicated to urban planners to better integrate health issues into their practices. Methods The scientific management team mixed various skills from public health, environment and urban planning sectors which makes easier the implementation of two key-principles of research: (i) to adopt a systemic approach to health determinants, (ii) to address urban settings through an integrated approach to public health, environment and sustainable development issues. The implementation of this interdisciplinary and intersectorial project is based on a close collaboration with a national working group composed of various professionals and academics (urban planning, environment, and health). The Isadora project deliverables results from an iterative process between all the stakeholders involved in the project. Results and conclusions First, we will present how we facilitated the working group throughout the deliverables development process and how we overcame the challenges of implementing intersectorality. Then, we will present the operational tool structured around of 15 key sheets with health focus to help professionals to integrate health at each step of an urban development project. Key messages ISadOrA project aspires to promote an evolution of urban planner’s practices in order to achieve a healthy urban development project. This ambition requires the translation of concepts into actions.

Public health emergencies such as the COVID-19 outbreak has made all industries to reexamine the way the cities have always grown. Urban planning is no exception. Based on the analysis of the development track and phenomenon of Wuhan City, this paper puts forward the planning thinking of the development of China’s big cities. According to the study, it is urgent to study the suitable size, structure and form of big cities. The consistent practice of high-intensity development needs to stop. Urban development should pay more attention to the space that can not directly generate economic benefits.

This article is a response to the urgent problem of the development and use of the coastal territories of Odessa. Based on the analysis of the historical, social, urban planning and economic context, the article argues the landscape and recreational direction of the development of coastal territories. In addition, the principles, main stages and methods for the formation and maintenance of this territory on a scale from improvement to the urban development role in the city system have been identified. The analysis of trends and problems of sustainable urban devel- opment. In creating a ―sustainable‖ urban environment, the role of various specialists is extremely important: urban planners, architects, ecologists, and ―urbanisms‖ of various ―urban‖ specialties. Only by methods of an integrated approach is it possible to create a full-fledged space, intercon- nected with nature, historical and cultural monuments. With a good location relative to the city, Odessa slopes are not balanced in function and in intensity of operation, which leads to their inefficient use and economic loss of the territory. The analysis revealed a complex of accumulated problems. These are administrative-political, social functional, economic,ecological, cultural. The article proposes an Accession Program promoting park protection – attracting political and public organizations, as well as possible formats for attracting investments. All this is formed under the condition of: – complete conservation of green areas; point inclusion of improvement in the structure of the park; improvement of roads and trails; the formation of places of various saturation and functionality; conservation of the ―wild‖ park. The concept of coastal development is unambiguously a landscape-recreational zone. This determines the maximum recreation, development, improvement of the natural complex; minimi- zation and localization of urbanized areas; withdrawal from the zone of automobile transport; the organization of convenient, aesthetically and environmentally friendly communications of the city with the coast, taking into account all the visual points of disclosure, both on the sea and on the marine facade; оrganization of water public transport The article proposes one of the options for the development of the Odessa coast – the for- mation of urban planning axes of the city - the sea. The result is a convenient communication city – park – beach – sea in the form of stairs, ramps, escalators and other ways of vertical communication between the upper and lower plateaus. On the upper plateau, architectural town-planning ensembles of various functional purposes are formed. An expressive silhouette of the city is created. the territory of the slopes, their connection. The coastal zone is decided in the format of a fully accessible shore: piers are provided with a link to the main walking axis ―health track‖; beach area improvement is carried out, as well as attraction of geographically unconnected commerce. All structures are subject to the condition of preserving green spaces and must comply with the regulatory requirements for park buildings developed by specialists with the participation of the public specifically for this section of the park. The principles that determine the general direction of sustainable urban development are based on the ideology of solving global problems of modern Odessa, taking into account-balanced interaction of natural, socio-economic and technological subsystems during the development of Odessa about the coast without prejudice to future generations.

AbstractBackgroundThere is an increasing awareness that the provision of healthy food relies on the co-ordinated efforts of a number of diverse disciplines, not merely those traditionally linked with food. This paper documents the development of a food and health strategy, commissioned by the health alliance for the city of Cardiff, and focuses on the areas of sustainability, education and training as well as nutrition, food provision and food safety.ObjectiveThe aim of the strategy was to increase the uptake of a healthy, safe and sustainable diet for all those living in Cardiff.MethodThe methodology included a rapid appraisal of food initiatives operating within the city, establishing a food and health strategy working group and the production of strategy documentation. Multi-agency collaboration and consultation were key components of the approach.ResultsAs the strategy developed, seven action areas became apparent, including education and training, public sector procurement and rewarding excellence. These action areas were incorporated into seven ‘action tables’, which constitute the core of the strategy. The food and health strategy document was ratified by the Local Health Alliance board in August 2004. But, far greater benefits were realised as a consequence of setting up the strategy working group. Long before the document was written, the strategy process was operating as ‘multidisciplinary public health in action’.ConclusionThe network that comprised the food and health strategy working group was already able to commence delivery of a more integrated approach to food and health within Cardiff.

Land Use Development

The land and town planning legislation concerning the planning of land use development within the united territorial communities (UTC) is considered. It is found that legislative norms need to be finalized. The necessity of updating the existing land management documentation developed prior to the adoption of the Law of Ukraine "On Land Management" and changes in the structure of urban development in connection with the adoption of the Law of Ukraine "On Regulation of Urban Development" was proved as they do not ensure the integrity of the planning process within the territories of these communities through their institutional incapacity (proved by the example of the Palan Unified Territorial Community of the Uman district of the Cherkasy region). The priority of land management and urban planning documents as the most influential tools in planning the development of land use systems in UTC is scientifically grounded and their interdependence established.
