The research scoping workshop on 28 and 29 August 2012 was held in Bangkok, Thailand, hosted by the ICSU National Member the National research Council of Thailand (NRCT). It was attended by 10 key health and urban environment researchers mainly from Asia and the Pacific.

Specifically, it will:
- Elaborate the priority research areas identified at the pre-scoping workshop on urban health and well-being held in Hyderabad in July;
- Scope research programmes to be undertaken in first year (12 months) of implementation;
- Identify research teams with solid results and ability to produce high-quality publications who would engage with the work in Asia and the Pacific; and
- Identify opportunities for research funding and agencies that can support the implementation of the programme.
