Urban environments are increasingly recognized as vital ecosystems for promoting family health and well-being, especially as the global urban population continues to grow. Applying a Social Determinants of Health (SDH) lens reveals how factors such as housing, income, education, social support, and access to healthcare shape the physical, mental, and social well-being of families. Initiatives like the Inclusive Cities for Sustainable Families (ICSF) exemplify holistic urban planning, integrating cross-sectoral strategies to support diverse family needs. The ICSF’s Good Practices Initiative, promoted by IFFD, showcases how urban policies can align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), addressing issues like poverty, food insecurity, education, and inclusive health systems.
