The Australian Urban Health Indicators (AusUrb-HI) project is an initiative aiming to enhance our understanding of urban health dynamics by developing new data assets.

Through three pivotal case studies (Cancer Determinants, Heat Health Vulnerability, and Urban Liveability and Health), the AusUrb-HI team amalgamated data from domains including health, socio-economic, environment, climate and urban planning in order to develop indicators providing greater insight into Australia’s urban population health.

For insight into the process of data collection, see a recent piece by the team on ‘How researchers are keeping your health data safe’ in Pursuit.

AusUrb-HI COLLABORATORS

This project received investment from the Australian Urban Research Infrastructure Network (AURIN), the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and the Population Health Research Network (PHRN).

AURIN, the ARDC and the PHRN are funded by the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS)
