The Rapid Urbanisation and Population Health (RUPH) Research Group is led by Professor Xiaoqi Feng. Urban health and environmental challenges are context-specific and cannot be fully understood or addressed by any single research discipline. 

RUPH embraces diversity to generate evidence-based solutions to these wicked problems and supports the building of transdisciplinary research capacities among ÁñÁ«¹ÙÍø academics, students, and collaborators worldwide. RUPH harnesses scientific, clinical, and industry expertise and lived experiences of members of communities to shape healthier, more liveable cities for all.
