For a few days in early March, several of HealthBridge’s liveable cities partners worked together in Bangkok to share ideas, experiences, and working methods. Our partners, from Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Uganda, and Vietnam, were joined by Canadian staff, a board member, and an interested official from UNDP. We discussed similarities between working approaches in tobacco control and liveable cities. We learned from successes and setbacks in making pedestrian streets, saving traditional markets, supporting good policies to preserve and expand parks, and on ways of working more successfully with media. And because we are promoting wellbeing and quality of life, we ate well and had a lot of fun! Despite the geographic range, the issues each of our partners faced were quite similar, and the lessons learned were usually directly applicable in other countries and even continents. It was great to have the opportunity for face-to-face communication, and we hope one result will be more direct sharing across the partners, which is always easier when people have spent some time getting to know each other, including over meals and, in this case, on the dance floor!
