This study introduces the Healthy Urban Design Index (HUDI), a high-resolution spatial index developed for European cities. HUDI combines policy-relevant indicators related to urban design, sustainable transportation, environmental quality, and greenspace accessibility—key factors influencing human health and well-being. Unlike existing indices, which often focus on few or large metropolitan cities and lack spatial granularity, HUDI offers high resolution and extends its scope to small-sized and medium-sized cities, home to over 50% of Europe's population.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Methods&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;We analysed 917 European cities in total, 916 cities and one larger city, on the basis of the 2018 Urban Audit database. Using open-source spatial data, we mapped cities at a fine 250 m grid cell scale. To compare cities effectively, we grouped them into five city clusters on the basis of population size, following the definition of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development: large metropolitan (11), metropolitan (53), medium-sized (177) and small (638) cities, and small towns (38). A set of 13 indicators, across four overarching domains of urban design, sustainable transportation, environmental quality, and green space accessibility was calculated spatially at the 250 m grid cell scale and then aggregated to the city level. The 13 indicators were optimal dwelling density, compactness, mid-rise development, permeability, opportunity to walk, opportunity to cycle, public transport stops, air quality (PM&lt;sub&gt;2·5&lt;/sub&gt; and NO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;), surrounding greenness (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), lower urban heat islands, universal access to green spaces, and access to large green spaces. To ensure comparability, all indicators were standardised on a scale from 0 to 10, considering data quality, indicator target levels, and specific evaluation criteria. The HUDI was then calculated by applying different weights to these indicators, allowing us to rank cities within their respective city size cluster. We visualised overall city performance using spider plots and did Local Moran's &lt;em&gt;I&lt;/em&gt; and Local Indicators of Spatial Association analyses to pinpoint areas with poor urban planning. We did sensitivity tests and correlation analyses, incorporating external datasets where available, to validate our findings.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Findings&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;HUDI scores ranged from 2·9 to nearly 7 of 10, showing that there is still room for improvement in creating healthier urban environments across European cities.
