Urban planning

In terms of urban planning, prevention deals with how to ensure the health and safety of people living and working in urban spaces, through the adoption of appropriate preventive measures. It is closely linked to promoting sustainable construction that is respectful of the environment and capable of guaranteeing improved quality of life conditions for residents, by minimising the risk of disease. 

Prevention strategies

Territorial planning
Interventions must consider public health needs, creating urban contexts favorable to health through the implementation of green areas and public spaces that are safe, inclusive, and accessible to the entire population, with particular attention to the most vulnerable groups
Sustainable materials
Sustainable materials and technologies reduce the impact of construction on the environment and on people's health. The Region promotes the exchange of best practices in sustainability and eco-compatibility through targeted training initiatives
Eco-sustainable mobility

This contributes to reducing air pollution and improving air quality. For this reason, Puglia Region is committed to encouraging environmentally conscious forms of mobility by promoting the use of low-impact means of transportation
