The Global Centre on Healthcare and Urbanisation (GCHU) at Kellogg College seeks to make urban centres environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable, and to provide an environment that supports and sustains health and wellbeing.
Our interdisciplinary approach embraces sustainable urban development and evidence-based healthcare to undertake research, education and foster collaboration in these disciplines.

In our latest GCHU Guest Blog, MSc in Evidence-Based Health Care Course Director and Kellogg Fellow Dr Annette Plüddemann explores the extent to which environmental factors affect the transmission of respiratory viruses.
In this seminar we draw on expertise from academia, local government, and the NGO and built environment sectors to take a critical look at what social sustainability, social value and community wealth really means in practice, and how such concepts can be assessed and measured. We will also explore why this is important in creating socially productive places through a more 'considerate urbanism' by drawing on a range of real-world examples to create a forum for lively debate and discussion with our audience.
