A city provides opportunities for education, jobs andhealth 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 the folks at SEI (Stockholm Environment Institute), have been poring over. And this is exactly what this podcast called the City Health and Well-being podcast intends to understand and share with you.

Vishal Mehta, a Senior Scientist at SEI, working in their Davis, California office, who has actually worked on the City Health and Well-being Initiative hosts the podcast, and Gokul Chakravarthy is its producer.

In this first episode of the City Health and Well-being podcast, Vishal 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.
