This International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating eight urban leaders making a difference around the world by creating healthier, safer cities with the Partnership for Healthy Cities.

On World Cancer Day, many of the 54 cities in the Partnership for Healthy Cities are making inspiring progress on public health interventions that can prevent cancer and other noncommunicable diseases (NCDs).

On World Day of Physical Activity, Vital Strategies applauds the 12 cities in the Partnership for Healthy Cities network working to promote physical activity in the fight against NCDs by creating walkable and bikeable city streets.

Two more cities announced their Partnership for Healthy Cities initiatives, with Melbourne encouraging commuter biking and Quito providing healthier food in schools.

The Conference represents a global forum at which road safety experts are meeting to discuss the latest findings in international programs and policy.
