“…Extensive studies in public health, social sciences, and urban planning are consistently highlighting a concept that resonates with common understanding: the significance of the built environment in shaping health outcomes [1][2][3].

Urban health refers to a strategic orientation that integrates health protection and promotion actions into urban design, emphasising the strong dependence between physical, psychological, and social well-being and the urban environment in which people live [8].…”

By 2050, an estimated 69% of the global population will reside in urban areas, underscoring the pivotal role of city neighbourhoods in enhancing quality of life by respecting and accommodating diverse identities and needs. The physical environment of neighbourhoods significantly influences community health and well-being, alongside social factors and access to health services. In Italy, prioritising health-promoting and accessible designs in neighbourhoods can form a solid foundation for urban health strategies. This study introduces a theoretical framework developed for the Healthy Neighbourhoods Hub (HNH) project in Florence, Italy, aiming to enhance health and accessibility across different scales. The HNH framework categorises healthy and inclusive neighbourhoods into 7 themes, 25 general characteristics, and 67 specific attributes, supported by verifiable variables derived from comprehensive research and design tools. This innovative framework addresses the need for multilevel, multidisciplinary approaches, and spatialization efforts to ensure equitable benefits for all community members.
