Urbanization is one of the leading global trends of the 21st century that has a significant impact on health. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), are the result of a combination of genetic, physiological, environmental and behavioural factors. These diseases are related to rapid unplanned urbanization, unhealthy diets and a lack of physical activity. This report presents a project (Active and green city project) that wants to rethink the city in terms of health and sustainable quality of life. The first objective is the implementation of physical activity and sustainable nutrition to improve the health of citizens by strengthening the cultural identity of the city. The project aims to be a practical response to the various call to actions of the scientific societies.
