The 21st International Conference on Urban Health (ICUH 2025) will be coming to Tākina in Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington in November.

The official event site is: icuh2025.org

The NZ Centre for Sustainable Cities won a bid to host this international event which has come to our region for the first time, and is regarded as a major coup for the University of Otago research centre alongside support from partners Wellington City Council, Business Events Wellington and Tourism New Zealand.

The event’s five themes are:

1. Healthy built environment: Building equitable, climate-resilient cities
2. Nourishing landscapes: Natural environments and food systems
3. Place matters: Local and cultural insights for urban wellbeing
4. Lifelong wellness: Ensuring inclusion for all in urban environments
5. Regional spotlight: Indigenous solutions to Urban Health challenges - strategies, rights, actions and experiences
