Anna Viola Epping is a researcher Healthy Cities at the Hanze University of Applied Sciences Groningen in the Netherlands and member of Research Center NoorderRuimte. She is an architect and is passionate about how public spaces can encourage certain behaviors. The focus of Healthy Cities is on stimulating a healthy lifestyle and improving health by means of intervening in the built environment, with the aim of diminishing health inequalities. Users and local residents are paramount in both her research and designs. Human scale and interactions are central to her work; only together we can make cities more attractive for everyone.
