About Us

At Building Health Lab, we are dedicated to transforming cities into healthier, more sustainable places to live. Our people-first, evidence-based approach integrates nature-based solutions with a strong emphasis on community engagement. We tackle four main urban health challenges: walkability, urban heat, stormwater management, and biodiversity loss—all of which impact the quality of air, water, and soil in our cities.

What We Do

Our process is rooted in a transdisciplinary method, used at leading higher education institutions such as Chalmers University of Technology and the Technical University of Berlin. This approach brings together experts in public health, climate design, and active mobility to develop comprehensive solutions for urban environments.

Our Pilot Projects

We pilot our strategies in climate-diverse urban areas across Europe, allowing us to test, refine, and scale our solutions to other cities facing similar challenges.

Who We Work With

Our clients include municipalities, urban planners, architects, community organizations, and public health agencies that share our commitment to sustainable urban transformation. While we operate globally in countries such as Brazil and India, our primary focus is on urban settings in Europe.

What Sets Us Apart

Unlike traditional firms, we emphasize community engagement, ensuring that our solutions are shaped by the people they are meant to serve. Our evidence-based, interdisciplinary approach delivers health-centered, nature-based solutions that are both sustainable and bankable, setting us apart from competitors.

Our Commitment to Diversity

We’re proud to collaborate with universities in low- and middle-income countries, offering mentorships and internships that provide real market opportunities. This ensures a diverse, inclusive approach to urban transformation.
