"Health is created and lived by people within the settings of their everyday life; where they learn, work, play, and love." The Ottawa Charter (1986) 

Healthy Settings, the settings-based approaches to health promotion, involve a holistic and multi-disciplinary method which integrates action across risk factors. The goal is to create health through a "whole system" approach. The settings approach has roots in the WHO Health for All strategy and, more specifically, the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion. Healthy Settings key principles include community participation, partnership, empowerment and equity.

Types of healthy settings include; 

• Healthy cities
• Healthy villages
• Healthy municipalities and Communities
• Health promoting schools
• Healthy workplaces
• Healthy markets
• Healthy homes
• Healthy islands
• Healthy hospitals
• Healthy prisons
• Healthy universities
• Healthy ageing
