Healthy Placemaking
We worked in partnership with Design Council to explore the barriers to creating healthy places.
This research from Design Council and Social Change UK notes that healthy placemaking sits on the periphery of UK housing, public health and placemaking policy. It continues to be seen as a cost to local development rather than an investment, and when considered alongside the plethora of local planning priorities and frameworks it often gets overlooked. We explore all the barriers to healthy placemaking and what can be done to overcome these barriers.
