Health is closely related to us, and a healthy China cannot be separated from a healthy city.

A healthy city, a good life!        

But is our city healthy? Is our life good? Air pollution, noise pollution, traffic congestion, stressful living and other urban diseases continue to affect the physical and mental health of residents.        
What is wrong with our cities?        
What kind of healthy cities do we need?        
What can we do to build healthy cities?        

The awareness of urban health among the Chinese public is gradually increasing, and more and more people are taking an interest in the topic of healthy cities and contributing their ideas to the practice of building healthy cities.        
This could be a spreadable paragraph reminding the public of the health of the city, a picture encouraging recycling, or a video calling for local organisations to take action.

Recognising the immense creativity of the masses, we are holding an open creative competition to pool ideas to help create a healthy city in China. During the competition's entry submission period (5 weeks), participants can submit text, images and video entries. The judging process was divided into two parts: the first part was a public judging process, in which each entry that met the rules of the competition was reviewed by four or more public judges; the second part was a joint multi-sectoral judging process, in which a panel of distinguished experts, scholars, local citizens, as well as The Lancet and Tsinghua University, judged the entries based on their creativity, feasibility and impact. 

       
The enthusiasm of the entrants was overwhelming and we felt a great sense of concern for urban health and recognition and support for the competition. We received 449 entries from 142 cities across China and 45,160 visits to the official website (in 4 weeks). The competition organising committee selected 55 of the most representative entries, which not only provided a new perspective on how people view healthy cities, but more importantly, practised a new model of public participation in healthy cities. We hope that this competition will provide new inspiration on how to engage the public in building a healthy city.
