Description
Summary:Green spaces in urban setting are one of the major protective factors of population health but are dependent on public policies and can be unequitable in their access and quality. Promoting healthy green spaces policies implies to take health considerations into account outside the health sector, which is one of the aims of the Health in all policies (HiAP) approach. The communication presents the first results of the GREENH-City project, based on a multiple case study among the members of the WHO French Healthy Cities network (FHCN). The aim is to identify the type of HiAP approach of municipalities in order to tackle health inequities thanks to green spaces policies.
