part of City health and well-being
In the first episode of the City Health and Well-being podcast, the host Vishal Mehta is joined by Steve Cinderby from SEI’s York centre in the UK. Steve is one of the co-leads of this Initiative and introduces the Initiative, its purpose, methods, challenges and findings.
A city provides opportunities for education, jobs and health care, for example, but is that all there is to a good life? Can good health and well being coexist with economic and business opportunities that are also people-centric, liveable, equitable, sociable, and, maybe even, enjoyable?
This is the central question that we have been poring over and what this podcast intends to understand and share with you.
