About
The BK Health + Platform is founded to foster a vibrant network of researchers, educators, and practitioners working on a built environment that positively contributes to the health of those who live and work there. The intrinsic link between health and the built environment has never been clearer, especially in the wake of a global pandemic.
By bringing together experts from diverse disciplines, our platform aims to bridge the gap between academic research, education and design practice. We are committed to transforming theoretical insights into design and strategies that improve the health and wellbeing of urban populations. The community expertise ranges from urban planning to public space design, from architecture to building technology, and beyond.
The BK Health + Platform objectives are as follows:
- Promote Collaboration, cross-overs and knowledge sharing.
We provide a space for researchers, educators, and practitioners to find each other to exchange ideas, share cutting-edge research, and start collaborations on projects. Through events, interviews and forums, we hope to facilitate cross-overs of different expertise and foster interdisciplinary partnerships. - Develop Solutions for Healthy Cities
Our platform functions as a hub for developing and spreading research and design solutions that contribute to a healthy built environment. By leveraging the latest research and best practices, we aim to influence policy and practice, creating healthier, more resilient cities that improve physical, mental, and social well-being. Together, we can (re)imagine our urban environments to be places where health and wellbeing thrive. Join the BK Health community in shaping the future healthy built environment!
