World Health Day 2010 will focus on urbanization and health. With the campaign "1000 cities - 1000 lives", events will be organized worldwide calling on cities to open up streets for health activities. Stories of urban health champions will be gathered to illustrate what people are doing to improve health in their cities.

The goal of the campaign is:

  • 1000 cities – for 1000 cities to close off portions of streets to traffic for activities promoting better health.
  • 1000 lives - to collect 1000 stories of urban health champions who have taken action to improve health in their cities.
