HCG€ Value

The Healthy Cities Generator is a cutting-edge tool designed to help cities assess the health impact of their urban plans and make informed decisions to improve physical, mental, and environmental health. To enhance effective decision-making further, the project consortium will develop and introduce an innovative economic impact analysis module (HCG€) to the existing tool. HCG€ will calculate the economic value of life expectancy improvements associated with the health impacts estimated by the tool. The HCG€ will help decision-makers prioritise investments that benefit citizen health and the economy, while reducing healthcare costs. Scaling the HCG€ to over 90 cities by 2028 will help users make urban planning decisions and introduce evidence-based policy that fosters livable, healthy urban spaces throughout Europe.
