Studying and researching the principles, values and characteristics of a healthy city is a process that demands immersion. It is necessary an understanding of what is healthy or to follow an investigative path of what could be the opposite of it, in order to clarify the definition and to approach the complexity of the concept of health. Noting that the urban environment is of considerable multiplicity, the various instances  that make up the healthy city can be analyzed simultaneously. This article aims to point out participatory methods and their respective evidence to support the decision-making of public managers, in their daily accomplishments, for the development of a healthy city. The methodology for such an appointment was based on bibliographic reviews in relation to the themes, in-depth reading of the documents generated in the cities, after the development of projects with academy, public management and community performance, dialogues of the technical visits made in the cities and photographic records. As a result, LABINUR / FEC / UNICAMP, through the monitoring of experiences, has obtained elements for the formulation of an Evidence-Based Urban Planning methodology for the Healthy City that can be indicated to public managers in order to relate the ideal choice of initiatives to be implemented and bring social participation to the decision-making process. It was concluded that monitoring participatory methods allows the approach to the social reality experienced in micro spaces and identify evidence that may be significant in the process of building public policies for the healthy city.
