In Denmark, an urban development project considers:
- Mitigating loneliness e.g. day-care for children has been integrated into a nursing home
- Bike lanes that link the suburbs to larger cities
- Availability of accessible green spaces to support mental and physical wellbeing
- Social housing to improve quality of life of poor or marginalized people. This includes a health focus on proximity living which can increase risk of disease
- Renewable energy supply to the building to provide energy security which is important during emergencies
This lesson was contributed by a Chief Resilience Officer in Denmark during project data collection.
