It is a privilege to host ICUH in Manchester and a great reflection on the work of Arpana Verma and her colleagues in the Manchester Urban Collaboration on Health as well as our sponsors; Greater Manchester Local Authorities, Georgia State University, WHO Kobe Centre, the Hallsworth Fund, World Wildlife Fund and cities@manchester. The interest in ICUH from the academic community and more broadly is an acknowledgement of the importance of the range of topics in public and urban health which will be addressed at the meeting. Preventing ill health and improving wellbeing remain priorities for all societies across the world, in wealthy and developing countries alike. Achieving these priorities is only possible through continued multidisciplinary efforts and the sharing of knowledge through events such as ICUH. This meeting fits perfectly with the objective of MAHSC (Manchester Academic Health Science Centre) and the University of Manchester to have a major impact on health science, education and care, regionally, nationally and internationally. I am looking forward to an exciting event and wish you the very best for an enjoyable and informative time at the conference and in Manchester. Sir Howard Bernstein Chief Executive, Manchester City Council We are excited and pleased to welcome you all to our great city. Manchester has embodied the quest for better health, wealth and communities since the beginning of the industrial revolution. Pioneers of public health such as Edwin Chadwick, began their life’s work through empowering local communities and improving the health of the working population. Nearly two hundred years later, we are still discussing many of the key concepts that began with our Victorian pioneers, and our fight to reduce inequalities, disparities, injustice and inequities continues. It is with great pleasure that I have observed the development of this conference into the premier platform for the discussion and debate of urban health issues. I am pleased to see so many speakers and delegates from all over the world being able to have a platform to showcase their excellent work, whether they be from civil society, charities, local authorities, academia and the health sector. For this reason, on behalf of the combined local authorities of Greater Manchester, Manchester City Council and the MAHSC, we welcome you all to our wonderful city and hope you have a memorable conference Mr Alex Ross Director, World Health Organization Centre for Health Development Rapid urbanization, increasing ageing populations, and globalization of economic and environmental issues provide major challenges to improving population health and health equity, while also representing opportunities for applying novel approaches. Universal health coverage represents a significant movement supported by countries, WHO, and the World Bank, to ensure access to a broad range of health services, protection against financial risk and ruin due to health care costs, and equity. The WHO Kobe Centre (WKC) in Japan is delighted to be part of this major conference that assembles researchers, practitioners, and policy makers from around the world. For a decade, WKC has led WHO’s work on building evidence and developing tools and methods to assist cities measure and respond to health inequities based on a determinants of health framework. The University of Manchester, and MUCH, have been major collaborators in this work, and we applaud their leadership in organizing ICUH 2014.

MUCH is part of the Centre for Epidemiology in the Institute of Population Health within the FMHS and MAHSC at the University of Manchester ( www.population- health.manchester.ac.uk/epidemiology/MUCH/ ). Our mission is to perform world-class research applicable to urban populations locally, nationally and globally. We have recently completed a £3 million urban health project entitled European Urban Health Indicators System, Part 2 (EURO-URHIS 2) which incorporated over forty urban areas across Europe to generate the world's largest data set of urban health indicators on an individual level ( www.urhis.eu/ , http://results.urhis.eu/ ). MUCH has links with many world leading organisations including: • World Health Organisation • Healthy Cities programme • European Public Health Association • International Society for Urban Health • Association of Schools of Public Health in the European Region • The Northern Universities' Public Health Alliance Through the many research projects delivered by MUCH we also link up with a global consortium of researchers and we are looking forward to developing links with many more of you over the next few days. As well as research, we are devoted training the next generation of public health professionals through our undergraduate and postgraduate/CPD training programmes. We are very happy to welcome the delegates from the Festival of Public Health UK conference series and we would like you to know the Festival will be taking place in late 2014.

My thanks to you all. From the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank my brilliant, extraordinary and highly talented team. Without their dedication, patience, ideas, strength and fortitude, nothing would have been possible. Through months of planning and a lot of laughing, the dream of ICUH 2014 has become a reality. You’ll see from the photograph above, we are an unusual bunch of researchers with a passion for urban public health. We hope you will challenge us and ask us lots of questions.
