Ten years ago, Utrecht chose healthy urban development as a foundation for shared prosperity. In Cartesius, you can see what that choice delivers: health as a guiding principle in how we design and use neighbourhoods. This session shows how that local approach aligns with Diagnose 2040: the shift towards a system change in which health is central to living, working and investing.

I am hopeful: the new minister recognises this and will act on it.'
