World Health Day - 7 April 2011

1000 Cities, 1000 Lives

With the campaign 1000 cities, 1000 lives, events will be organized worldwide during the week of 7 – 11 April 2011.

The global goals of the campaign are:

• 1000 cities: to open up public spaces to health, whether it be activities in parks, town hall meetings, clean-up campaigns, or closing off portions of streets to motorized vehicles.
• 1000 lives: to collect 1000 stories of urban health champions who have taken action and had a significant impact on health in their cities.
