Analytics-based solutions for healthy and sustainable cities

In an era where people health has been unjustly impacted by their income, age, gender, education, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status, programs like the Recreovía and the Ciclovía Recreativa serve the entire community regardless of any of these factors with a health-focused approach. Accordingly, the necessity to bring healthy living into people’s daily lives has been and will continue to be a significant challenge for public health practitioners and city officials. This challenge inevitably involves assigning resources innovatively and efficiently using analytics-based techniques towards the goal of having healthier and sustainable cities.
