Overview
Combining the latest research with planning and design practice to explore how to create healthier, more sustainable urban environments. Founded on a unique partnership between research and professional practice, this event will bridge the gap between evidence and implementation, ensuring that health is not simply an aspiration but a measurable outcome of how places are planned, designed and delivered.
Born in Bradford and the Healthy Urban Places research programme, in partnership with the Landscape Institute, will bring together the professionals responsible for planning, designing and managing the places where people live with world-leading research to explore how evidence can influence investment decisions, strengthen policy, inform design, support delivery and demonstrate impact.
