The Healthy Cities Movement focuses on creating healthier and more sustainable cities, including healthy urban design. This focus on health is essential in an age of climate change, urban density, and inequality where planners, developers, and communities have the responsibility to design healthy places for all. There are multiple assessment tools for healthy and sustainable cities and buildings design. However, it is unclear which health perspectives are incorporated or overlooked in these tools. This paper aims to (1) map existing assessment tools relating to urban design and health, (2) examine which health-related outcomes are incorporated, to (3) propose criteria for an assessment tool for healthy cities. The methods include a questionnaire, three semi-structured interviews with experts on healthy urban design, and analysis of recent assessment tools. The results include conceptualization of healthy design criteria. The identified criteria additionally show issues for action in urban development regarding sustainable, healthy cities. The outcome can be considered an approach to develop tools for healthier cities. Assessment tools that include holistic perspectives on health may be able to reflect upon urban health and contribute to healthy communities.
