Research Intern (HD4 WP4)

Health-Driven Design for Cities (HD4) aims to investigate how Singapore's environment shapes residents' daily behaviours and long-term health outcomes. It will generate actionable evidence for public agencies and policymakers to improve the health and longevity of all Singaporeans.
