The Healthy City as a system of urban regeneration for improving economic, social & environmental inequalities

Rice, Louis

Abstract

The research examines innovative approaches to designing new urban areas and retrofitting existing cities to enable healthier outcomes. The design and layout of the built environment is a significant determinant of human health. Simultaneously, achieving healthier outcomes in a human population can also aid in the delivery of sustainable development goals. Using an innovative ‘design-research’ approach, alternative city designs can be used to forecast likely health and sustainability criteria outcomes over a twenty year time period. The research contributes to the evidence-base for promoting better health and sustainable lifestyles through the design of the built environment.
