Details:
PHE commissioned the UCL Institute of Health Equity to synthesise the latest and most relevant evidence for local decision makers, built environment professionals (eg planners, urban designers, landscape architects), town managers, public health professionals, and others involved in implementing street design principles on the health and wellbeing benefits of making high streets more inclusive, safe and healthier, particularly in areas of high deprivation.
This review provides a rapid assessment of evidence relating to pedestrian friendly, healthy high streets in urban settings, with specific reference to design interventions and street furniture. Evidence relating to both children and adults is considered, alongside groups who may have specific needs or preferences such as older people, younger people, disabled people (considering specific impairments where relevant) and different ethnic groups.
The review illustrates how, across a broad range of local stakeholders, a greater understanding of how place and people interact could help realise the potential of our high streets, and contribute to health and economic gains of our local communities.
