Welcome to ICUH 2024!

The panel discussion will spotlight Agadir’s innovative urban development strategies focused on enhancing climate resilience. A key initiative involves transforming underutilized dry riverbeds into vibrant green corridors that integrate greenery, leisure areas, sports fields, and kiosks. This transformation not only stimulates local economies but also promotes healthier lifestyles among citizens by providing accessible recreational spaces.


The session will explore how these green corridors serve a dual purpose: addressing immediate environmental challenges and contributing to long-term health, resilience, and sustainability. The conversion aims to improve urban air quality, create safe recreational spaces, and mitigate urban heat island effects, thereby enhancing the mental and physical well-being of Agadir’s residents.


Objectives include showcasing urban renewal projects as tools for enhancing public health and climate resilience, with Agadir’s urban forests, parks, and green corridors as a compelling case study. This effort aligns with SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 15 (Life on Land).
The discussion will emphasize the direct impact of these urban transformations on public health, community engagement, and local economies. Innovative aspects of the project will highlight its sustainable urban design approach, repurposing neglected areas into thriving public spaces that support economic growth, environmental sustainability, and public health.


Key topics to be covered include the health benefits of increasing accessible green spaces in urban environments, the economic and social advantages of developing green corridors, and the importance of community engagement in designing spaces that promote active lifestyles and meet residents' needs.
