“Urban Form, Nature and Health: Can We Measure Cities’ Habitability in a Climate Crisis? “ is an interdisciplinary seminar that brings together researchers and practitioners to explore how urban form, environmental systems and governance choices shape the long-term habitability of cities. The event examines strategic planning, spatial configuration and urban processes from international perspectives, with particular attention to the Global South, especially Brazil. By integrating discussions on urban morphology, climate exposure, urban nature and public health, the seminar seeks to advance methodological and practical approaches to measuring urban habitability in the context of accelerating climate change. The seminar proposes reflection on how spatial and environmental evidence can be translated into decision-making tools, public policies and urban codes capable of addressing territorial inequalities and growing climate risks.
