It’s here! Edition 26 of EuroHealthNet Magazine is online, and this time we’re asking: what if the places we live, work, and play were designed to boost our wellbeing, not just profits? This edition explores how our health and our environment are inseparable, and how change is happening, from bold city planning to grassroots community action. Across Europe, people are proving that healthier, more sustainable communities are possible. Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll find: 📰Editorial: Caroline Costongs asks: is our environment the health factor we keep ignoring?
