1 Introduction

A healthy city is a significant catalyzing and reforming sector, giving a framework for the city to function in the most optimum and sustainable way possible. We, as consultants of healthcare, have chosen the city of Abu Dhabi, and it would be an honor to compete for the award of ‘WHO’s healthy cityaward2022’. Also, as consultants,we need to understand the core values and expectations of a healthy city from the perspective of WHO.

Abu Dhabi is the capital city of the UAE and has a fascinating and contrasting nature compared to its neighboring city Dubai (Hashim and Reem, 2022). The city of Abu Dhabi has been more pedestrian-friendly to its users, yet it faces some challenges that still need to be addressed as soon as possible. The government of Abu Dhabi has put in a lot of effort to encourage its residents and citizens to maintain a healthier lifestyle and a sustainable one.

Hospitals and clinics are only one aspect of health (Pinoncely, 2014). The physical nature of locations andthesocial contextofcommunitiesin which we live, work, and spend our leisure time haveahugeinfluenceon ourhealthandwellbeing (Pinoncely, 2014). Obesity, chronic heart disease, stress, and mental health problems are all closely connected to the surroundings in which individuals live and work (Pinoncely, 2014)
