Clear air and greenery are important to the city's health and wellbeing. Planting trees, reducing plastic use, and managing pollution will keep citizens healthy.

Developing parks, community centers, and sports facilities that are accessible and affordable for young people.

Improving public transportation

Ratnakar Das, Professor

A clean, safe, and green environment matters most when our surroundings are healthy, our children grow up happier and more confident.

Kunti Maharana, Parent

arpravashrrout — 2025-10-21 05:18:00 UTC

Strong community bonds and safe spaces where young people can express themselves freely are essential for a healthy city.

Bhubaneswar can do better by providing more open spaces for adolescents to learn, play, and interact positively with others.

Shantilata, Community Mentor

arpravashrrout — 2025-10-21 05:19:50 UTC

We need more awareness and programs that help young people stay active, feel safe, and build leadership skills.

For my health, the most important thing is to have less pollution.
This depends on a clean, safe, equitable, and participatory environment where people can live with dignity and move freely.

Age: 51

There should be motivational talks and sports courses for adolescents.

Safety, recreation, and safe spaces where our adolescents can live together in a better way.

Age: 63

My commitment is to give my best to improve the city and, therefore, the well-being of adolescents.

Age: 18

2025-10-21 21:58:28 UTC

The most important thing is for people to learn to take care of their surroundings, be more conscious, and not throw trash on the streets or in parks. That way, these places stay clean and in good condition so that children, adolescents, youth, and adults can all enjoy them to the fullest.

Age: 18

2025-10-21 21:58:48 UTC

Honestly, it would be great if there were more things that truly attract adolescents—like spaces where we can meet, have fun, and connect. There should also be more activities or places designed for young people, where we can enjoy ourselves and relax for a while.

Age: 18

2025-10-21 21:59:09 UTC

My commitment is to improve my city so that everyone can make good use of its spaces and activities.

Malti, 43

The most important factors for health and wellbeing in Indore are improving air quality, addressing malnutrition, ensuring cleanliness and sanitation, and enhancing healthcare access and data systems. Challenges like traffic congestion and environmental degradation also pose threats that need to be mitigated to ensure a healthy, equitable city for all residents.

Ramchandra Katariya, 62, Parent/Community Member

2025-10-22 10:43:30 UTC

Having clean and safe public spaces for children to play and socialize helps build a healthy and positive community.

Bansilal Gahloniya, 57, Teacher/Community Member

2025-10-22 10:46:21 UTC

I believe that better waste management and cleanliness in our locality can improve everyone’s health and mindset.

Hemlata Devi, 35, Anganwadi Worker

2025-10-22 10:50:06 UTC

Our city should involve adolescents more in decision-making about parks and public facilities—they know what they need the most.

Neeraj Saini, 34, Community Volunteer

2025-10-22 10:52:29 UTC

There should be awareness programs for parents to encourage their children to use public spaces safely and productively.

Yashir Khan, 29, Teacher & Community Member

2025-10-23 09:31:49 UTC

I declare that I will support local drives to keep our neighborhood park clean and safe for children.

Anjana Maharana, 60, Vocational Teacher, SSEPD

safecityproj — 2025-10-24 07:53:00 UTC

There is a problem of drainage leading to unhygienic conditions, which needs to be improved citywide. There should also be more plantation as pollution is increasing day by day due to the rising number of vehicles. I also feel there should be more awareness on a balanced diet and proper nutrition.

Sunita Maharana, 35

safecityproj — 2025-10-24 07:54:06 UTC

In our city, what matters most is keeping the surroundings clean, having proper drainage, safe drinking water, and regular garbage cleaning. If these things are taken care of, people will stay healthy and no diseases will spread.

Anjana Maharana, 60 , Vocational Teacher, SSEPD

safecityproj — 2025-10-24 07:55:06 UTC

Public spaces like parks should be comfortable for everyone — children, youth, and the elderly alike. Creating safe, inclusive spaces with proper security and designated areas for recreation, along with more public libraries for youth, can make our city more welcoming for all.

Sunita Maharana, 35

safecityproj — 2025-10-24 07:55:49 UTC

The city should give more chances for young people to learn skills, get small jobs, and take part in cleaning and awareness work. If the youth get some support, they can do a lot for our community.

Jayant Khanwalkar, 79

2025-10-24 08:59:46 UTC

For Indore’s health and well-being, what matters most is clean air, green spaces, and responsible citizens. A healthy city begins with healthy habits.

Vikram Singh Bais, 44

2025-10-24 09:30:40 UTC

I declare that I will do my best to contribute positively to my community, stay mindful of others’ well-being, and continue growing as a responsible and supportive individual.

Vikram Singh Bais,44

2025-10-24 09:31:56 UTC

I believe a clean environment, good healthcare, and community awareness are key to health and well-being. Clean air, safe water, and proper sanitation prevent diseases, while access to medical care and healthy lifestyles promote overall wellness. Active citizen participation further supports a healthy and happy life.

Vikram Singh Bais, 44

2025-10-24 09:32:41 UTC

I think the city could do better for young people by creating more skill development programs and activity spaces. It would also help if there were more career guidance centers, better public transport, and mental health support. Promoting youth participation in community projects would also make young people feel more involved and connected to the city.

Minakshi, 40, Anganwadi Worker

2025-10-24 11:25:15 UTC

I believe that our city can establish youth clubs for the youth and provide them with access to skill development programmes, employment and new opportunities.

Julio César Benavides, 63

2025-10-24 13:24:40 UTC

What’s important is that the city has safety, in order to have good health, well-being, and to feel secure.

Safety, recreation, and safe spaces so that our adolescents can coexist in a better way.

Roopesh Kanojiya, 50

2025-10-25 07:23:16 UTC

Indore today faces challenges from rapid urbanization, poor infrastructure, and rising pollution. Roads are often damaged, traffic congestion is common, and public transport is limited. Industrial expansion and factory setups around the city have added to air and water pollution. The city’s green cover is shrinking, and health issues linked to urban lifestyle are increasing.
Despite being an education hub attracting thousands of students, this influx adds pressure on housing, transport, and civic services. Overall, Indore struggles with imbalanced growth, planning gaps, and environmental strain amid fast development.

Kamal Singh Prajapati, 52

2025-10-25 07:24:52 UTC

My city could create more safe and engaging spaces for young people, like sports complexes, libraries, and youth clubs. It should organize skill development workshops and career guidance programs to help us prepare for the future. Improving public transport and safety around schools and colleges would also make daily life easier. Lastly, promoting cultural and creative events would inspire more youth participation and talent.

Shikha Sharma, 35, Anganwadi Worker

2025-10-25 07:26:13 UTC

I believe our city should focus on improving sanitation, organizing health camps, and raising awareness about the safety of women and girls. Creating a friendly environment for mothers and their children in public spaces is also an important issue to address.

Roopesh Kanojiya, 50

2025-10-25 07:34:37 UTC

Indore can do better for young people by improving public transport, providing affordable housing, creating job and startup opportunities, developing green and recreational spaces, and ensuring a clean, sustainable environment for a better quality of life.

Kamal Singh Prajapati, 52 Years

2025-10-27 10:00:13 UTC

I declare that I will do my best to bring positive change in my community and support others with honesty and respect. I will stay committed to learning, growing, and helping those in need. I promise to take responsibility for my actions and work hard toward a better future. My personal commitment is to always act with kindness and integrity.

Kamal Singh Prajapati, 52 years

2025-10-27 10:03:52 UTC

My city is having clean air, safe drinking water, and proper waste management. Good healthcare facilities and awareness about hygiene are also very important. Green spaces and parks help people stay active and relaxed. Together, these things create a healthy and happy environment for everyone.

Deepti Ranjan, 32

sethasoni11 — 2025-10-28 07:06:03 UTC

I declare that I'll walk or cycle to nearby places instead of taking a bike wherever I can

Dang Long Nhat, 24

youthvn — 2025-10-29 11:55:39 UTC

A healthy city needs well-developed infrastructure, a convenient transportation system, and effective public services, including healthcare and emergency response teams, to ensure safety, provide medical care, and respond quickly to emergencies.

In addition, comprehensive social welfare policies are essential to support the elderly living alone and children in need, while also raising public awareness and reducing social problems.

Dang Long Nhat, 24

youthvn — 2025-10-29 11:56:06 UTC

The city can do better by modernizing its infrastructure, investing in green transportation systems, strengthening healthcare and emergency services, and creating more support programs and activity spaces for young people.

Dang Long Nhat, 24

youthvn — 2025-10-29 11:56:38 UTC

I declare that I will care more about the physical and mental health of myself and the people around me, and that I will listen and share with others.

Ms Dung, parent

youthvn — 2025-10-29 11:57:44 UTC

A healthy city is one with clean air, public spaces for exercise and sports, a green and clean environment, good healthcare services, and no social problems.

Ms Dung, parent

youthvn — 2025-10-29 11:58:15 UTC

The city can organize youth exchange programs about sports, culture, music, and traffic safety.

It can also build more public restrooms that are free or have low, supported fees. In addition, the city should promote more sports activities or hold book festivals with topics about mental health and ways to prevent unsafe relationships among teenagers.

Ms Dung, Parent

youthvn — 2025-10-29 11:59:02 UTC

I declare that I will live more responsibly toward the environment and to always encourage and support my children to join activities that help protect it.

2025-10-29 14:35:16 UTC

A clean environment is paramount to health and well-being.

My city should prioritize community dialogues in a bid to educate young people and also build their capacities in enhancing economic opportunities. When young people have more opportunities to grow into productive citizens, They will transform the nation.

Iván Sucre, 42

2025-10-29 15:02:37 UTC

The most important thing for health and well-being is to maintain a balance between the body, the mind, and the social environment in which we live. Living in a place with clean air, surrounded by mountains and nature, reminds us of the importance of caring for our environment and maintaining active lifestyle habits. Strengthening community bonds, ensuring access to quality healthcare services, and promoting spaces for sports and recreation are also essential so that every Riobambeño can enjoy a full and healthy life.

Iván Sucre, 42

2025-10-29 15:03:25 UTC

“If, and only if,” we unite the efforts of authorities, adults, and youth themselves, we will achieve progress and growth worthy of our adolescents. Authorities could create safe spaces and strengthen cultural and sports centers where young people can develop, learn, and express themselves freely. Adults, in turn, have the responsibility to accompany them with empathy—to listen and guide without imposing—while understanding their challenges and dreams. And adolescents can also commit to actively participating, respecting their environment, proposing ideas, and taking care of their surroundings. Only through this mutual commitment will we build a more inclusive Riobamba, with real opportunities for every young person to grow with hope and purpose.

Iván Sucre, 42

2025-10-29 15:04:10 UTC

My commitment is to support the well-being of my community by promoting dialogue, respect, and active participation among youth, adults, and authorities.

Nancy Díaz, 46 - Teacher

2025-10-29 15:05:51 UTC

For me, what matters most for my health and well-being in my city is feeling part of the community.
A city that listens to its people and designs with empathy and participation can truly grow, and in those cities, you should breathe respect and inclusion.

Nancy Díaz, 46 - Teacher

2025-10-29 15:06:48 UTC

For me, what matters most for my health and well-being in my city is feeling like part of the community. A city that listens to its inhabitants and designs with them—based on empathy and participation—can truly grow, and in such a city, respect and inclusion should be ever-present.

Nancy Díaz, 46 Teacher

2025-10-29 15:07:23 UTC

My city could create “Youth Zones”, a kind of urban lab for young people.
Safe spaces where teenagers can express themselves, learn, and lead social impact projects.
Where they co-create solutions for their neighborhoods through art, technology, and sustainability.
A space where their voices are heard not as the future, but as the present.

Nancy Díaz, 46 - Teacher

2025-10-29 15:08:16 UTC

As a teacher, I commit to being a light that inspires, not just to teach content, but to spark passions and ideas in my students.
To walk beside them as they discover their purpose in life, nurturing their emotional well-being and critical thinking.
Because to educate is to plant the seeds of the future.

Joseph Mawutor Gadzanku, 38, Farmer

2025-10-29 16:31:04 UTC

What matters most to me in terms of health and well-being are good food and decent accommodation.

Healthy living starts with access to nutritious, affordable food. Here in Ho, we have fertile lands and plenty of fresh produce, but not everyone can consistently afford balanced meals. Ensuring food security and promoting better nutrition practices would greatly improve community health.

Decent housing is also key. When people have safe and comfortable places to live, they experience less stress and can focus better on their work and families.

Younousse Chérif GOUDIABY, 22 years old, Youth Advocacy Officer and Young Leader

2025-10-29 18:18:37 UTC

"As a young Senegalese leader and youth rights advocate, I dream of an inclusive city where every child and teenager, no matter their background or situation, can learn, express themselves, and grow up safe and healthy.
I want to see accessible health, cultural, and educational spaces — places for intergenerational dialogue and civic learning.
It’s time for our cities to be built with us and for us, with local policies that value youth engagement, equal opportunities, and social justice — smart and modern cities where every young person can truly thrive."

Mrs. Diack Dieynaba Barry, Midwife at the Touba Diack Sao Health Facility

2025-10-29 18:31:06 UTC

"I advocate for strengthening the capacities of health workers to better care for young people and adolescents — including training them in ultrasound so that this service becomes more accessible to youth."

Carlos Palomino, 29

2025-10-29 20:46:06 UTC

What influences the most is the coexistence with others, being in a calm environment, an environment in which you feel safe. Mental health, how you are mentally, how you feel with your family and your environment, how you feel with your family and your environment, is also very influential.

Carlos Palomino, 29

2025-10-29 20:47:19 UTC

For me, the main thing that the city could do is to give more opportunities to young people in terms of study and sports. They should have spaces such as the Sports Center Caimitos, have foundations such as Sidoc that are making a difference so that all these youth, all these children, all these young people have greater opportunities in life.

Carlos Palomino, 29

2025-10-29 20:48:56 UTC

I commit myself to be a better person, to be a formidable coach, to create spaces in which young people feel safe, feel loved, feel wanted and that it is through sports that we are changing lives and restructuring people and that children have greater opportunities to succeed.

María Elisa, 29

2025-10-29 21:07:38 UTC

There should be more opportunities for young people because at this time young people are very lost in drugs and there should be more opportunities for dance or painting and care of green areas.

María Elisa, 29

2025-10-29 21:08:21 UTC

I commit myself to take care of the green areas and participate in every activity that benefits the youth.

Younousse Chérif GOUDIABY, 22 years old, Youth Advocacy Officer and Young Leader

2025-10-30 09:49:07 UTC

Empowering young people and peer educators through economic opportunities and access to digital tools that help them better support adolescents and youth.

Salimata Dieng, Communjty actor

The city should provide income-generating opportunities and equip youth centers with digital tools to strengthen peer education and youth engagement.

Salaimata Dieng, Community actor

2025-10-30 10:34:52 UTC

I am committed to empowering peer educators by promoting income-generating opportunities and strengthening Adolescent Advisory Offices with digital tools that help young people access information and develop their digital skills

Ndèye Marème Ndiaye, Badiène Gox, Community Worker

2025-10-30 12:35:23 UTC

The city should create more opportunities for youth participation in local decision-making bodies and development initiatives.

Mamadou Diaw, 23 years, community peer educator

2025-10-30 13:09:56 UTC

The city should increase investment in reproductive health programs and include youth representatives in health-related decision-making spaces.

Mmadou Diaw, 23 years, community peer educator

2025-10-30 13:11:17 UTC

I am committed to advocating for greater investment in reproductive health and to ensuring that young people’s needs and voices are included in every decision that affects their wellbeing.

Joseph Mawutor Gadzanku, 38, Farmer

2025-10-30 13:30:04 UTC

As a 38-year-old farmer from Ho, I’ve observed that many of our young people are too idle, and this idleness often leads them into all kinds of negative behaviours and vices. We need to create more jobs and organise practical skills training programs that equip young people with in-demand skills for decent and sustainable work. When young people are meaningfully engaged, they become more productive, responsible, and hopeful about their future. Investing in youth employment and skills development is the best way to secure the growth and stability Ho

Joseph Mawutor Gadzanku, 38, Farmer

2025-10-30 13:33:39 UTC

I declare that I will bring success to my people through agriculture by using my knowledge, skills, and experience to promote modern farming practices, create jobs for the youth, and encourage more young people not to shy away from agriculture but to see it as a dignified and rewarding field of work

Richard Amegah, Media Personality

2025-10-30 13:35:38 UTC

A lot of young people go about smiling, but they’re not actually okay. Mental health needs to be taken seriously because it matters. To make a meaningful impact in society, we must first be in a good state of mental health.

Ndeye Yacine Fall, 25 years old, Advocacy Officer

2025-10-30 13:36:17 UTC

Having accessible public spaces with digital connectivity and learning opportunities, as well as practical skills training that can help young people become self-reliant and empowered.

Ndeye Yacine Fall, 25 years old, Advocacy Officer

2025-10-30 13:37:29 UTC

The city should create public spaces with open Wi-Fi and offer practical vocational training programs for youth to enhance learning and employability.

Ndeye Yacine Fall, 25 years old, Advocacy Officer

2025-10-30 13:38:33 UTC

I want public spaces with open Wi-Fi where teenagers and young people can access knowledge, learn, and gain practical skills like fruit and vegetable processing, bleach production, and soap making.

Richard Amegah, 35, Media Personality

2025-10-30 13:45:19 UTC

Young people should be included in decision-making and their voices must be heard. It’s important to ask them what they truly want and to find out if existing policies are actually working in their favour.

2025-10-30 14:10:22 UTC

The health and well-being of my city hinge on interconnected factors. Top priorities include:

- Parks and walkable areas for exercise, stress relief, and social ties.

- Secure homes, food, and water to bridge health inequities.

- Nearby clinics and preventive care for chronic and mental health issues.

- Public transit and bike paths to cut pollution and boost activity.

- Jobs and learning to reduce poverty's health impacts.

- Low crime and community programs for trust and resilience.

Richard Adzigbli, 25

edithdery2 — 2025-10-30 14:57:58 UTC

I think focusing on early childhood education, in a decentralized manner is essential for the next generation. While access to medical care and a peaceful environment is a catalyst for this to happen. I believe we need to take education out of the classrooms.

Richard Adzigbli, 25

edithdery2 — 2025-10-30 15:08:03 UTC

My city could re-took into the traditional education system. This will be an initiative to match learned individuals in the communities with the younger ones to help learn and grow the problem solving skills beyond the classroom at the tender age.

Richard Adzigbli, 25

edithdery2 — 2025-10-30 15:18:56 UTC

Mrs Ramatoulaye Mimi Diédhiou, President of the Association Espoir pour le Bien-Être

2025-10-31 09:53:50 UTC

The city should eliminate barriers to girls’ education, including gender-based violence and menstrual insecurity, to allow them to reach their full potential.

Salomey Senanu-Fianyor, 54

2025-10-31 10:07:08 UTC

Clean surroundings, affordable healthcare, and safe spaces for children to play and grow. When the environment is clean and the hospitals are working well, families can live healthier and happier lives.

Maurice Bindia, 26 years, Community advocacy actor

2025-10-31 10:07:14 UTC

The city should actively involve young people in local decision-making processes and support their initiatives through education, skills development, and entrepreneurship opportunities.

Salomey Senanu-Fianyor, 54

2025-10-31 10:08:19 UTC

The city can create more programs that help young people learn skills and find jobs. Not every child can continue school, so helping them learn something useful, like tech, art, or a trade, would really make a difference.

Maurice Bindia, 26 years, Communty advocacy actor

2025-10-31 10:08:52 UTC

I believe that youth must be fully involved in decision-making because their energy, creativity, and commitment are vital for our country's progress. Together, we can build a better future for young people and for Senegal
