This report discusses opportunities for city leaders to promote health and well-being by defining priorities, uniting stakeholders around common goals, and ensuring accountability for outcomes. This report looks at some of the specific areas where city authorities can take action to prevent NCDs and improve road safety. It focuses on a set of 10 intervention areas that are seen as starting points to show that action is possible. The report therefore looks at elements that can affect an intervention’s success by drawing on insights from real-world experiences in 19 cities, 15 of which are in low- and middle-income countries.
