About Us:
At Urban Health Partnerships (UHP), our mission is clear – we’re all about investing in our communities. We’re here to co-design sustainable change and promote equity and well-being across every stage of life. One of our most exciting initiatives? It’s all about creating “Healthy Streets and Public Spaces.” We’re on a mission to improve streets and public areas through community-centered projects, policies, and advocacy efforts that make health equity and access to opportunity a reality.
What is Ciclovía?
Imagine a world where you could walk, bike, run, dance, skate, play, and participate in a whole host of activities on a street without a car in sight. That’s the magic of Ciclovía! This incredible movement started back in 1974 in Bogotá, Colombia, and it’s since spread across the globe. What’s it all about? It’s a celebration of reclaiming our streets for everyone, offering broader access to open-air recreational activities.
Why You Should Join Us:
Ciclovía is more than just a street party – they’re a gateway to better health, stronger social connections, and improved mental well-being. When we come together to transform our streets, we see incredible results in the health and happiness of our community members. Plus, Ciclovía creates vibrant spaces where local businesses can thrive, providing goods and services and getting creative in numerous ways.
