Fast-track Urban HIV Response

As cities around the globe continue to adapt urbanisation, health status of urban populations is becoming more complex and challenging in the recent years. In order to address the growing public health challenges in urban environments, it is necessary to ensure a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach among a range of stakeholders and promote urban health at all levels. Obviously, the future of health and development is being shaped by cities and urban areas. By 2030, an estimated 60 per cent of the global population will live in cities. More than 90 per cent of urban population growth will take place in low- and middle-income countries.
