In februari 2026 heb ik in het Maastrichtse Studio Radium afscheid genomen als hoogleraar Filosofie van de Publieke Gezondheid van de Universiteit van Maastricht met een druk bezochte afscheidsrede en een symposium onder de titel “Wat als iedereen en alles meetelt”.  Klik hier voor meer.

'Gezonde stad, uitsluiting en ontmoeting'

De gezonde stad is in opmars. Volgens politici en professionals kan gezonde-stedenbeleid helpen om gezondheidsverschillen tussen mensen te verminderen. Maar wat is een gezonde omgeving eigenlijk, hoe komt kennis over de gezonde stad tot stand en welke kennis telt?

Ons boek introduceert een verrassend perspectief op de Gezonde Stad. Mare Knibbe en ik analyseren de publieke ruimte als een vehikel voor ontmoeting, veerkracht, veiligheid en gezondheid. Tegenover kwantitatieve indicatoren voor een gezonde stad stellen wij ervaringen van mensen die in de stad maar weinig aan het woord komen.

Wat leren deze verhalen over de dynamiek van ongelijkheid in de publieke ruimte? Welke kansen biedt de stad op ontmoeting, uitsluiting en veerkracht?
