FUSE Research Programme Meeting - Planning for a Healthier Future: Priorities and Practicalities - hosted at Teesside University, The Stephenson Lecture Theatre.
Can we plan for a healthier future by intervening in the built environment? Prof Tim Townshend certainly believes it is possible in his new book Healthier Cities? Design for Well-being - which advocates putting health back at the heart of planning decision making. An example of where health and planning are already working together is the development of planning regulations that have been used to manage the over-proliferation of hot food takeaways and encourage healthier food environments. The covid19 pandemic has had significant direct negative health effects but also increasing the toxicity of high streets with many businesses ceasing to trade, and hot, fast, food becoming more plentiful. The Government’s new Levelling Up agenda seeks to counteract these effects, and planning / policy will have a significant part to play in this. This half day session will present perspectives on this topic from academics, practitioners and policy makers and will ask attendees to consider how we can effectively use planning to deliver a healthier future, and what the priorities and practicalities should be going forward.
