Description:
This project looks at such convergences and divergences within a particularly instrumental environment - the barriers and opportunities that present to built environment practitioners when making healthy places.
Overview:
The built environment significantly influences the health and well-being of individuals and communities, impacting access to healthy food, active transportation, and social connections. While there is a recognized need for places that promote positive health outcomes, there's often a gap between policy intentions and practical implementation. Bridging this gap between planning principles and practical execution remains a challenge. The interplay between health and urban planning professionals and governance structures in this context has a long history, reflecting the complex dynamics of achieving environments that genuinely support human health.
Objectives:
The objective was to seek insights from key stakeholders engaged in healthy built environment policy about effective partnerships, strategies, tools and policy making. Participants were government and non-government urban planners, social planners, researchers and managers.
Initiatives:
The initiative innovatively addresses the challenge of implementing healthy placemaking, acknowledging the gap between policy ideals and practical execution.
Shortcomings:
The initiative is not so specific to NET4Age
