Moving health upstream in urban development decision-making (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Black, D., Ige, J., Pilkington, P., Williams, B., Prestwood, E., Hunt, A., …Ogilvie, F. (2017, February). Moving health upstream in urban development decision-making. Presented at The Sustainable Transport & Health Summit, Bristol

This document presents an overview of a three-year pilot funded by the Wellcome Trust an initiated in 2016. The project has three main strands of work- systematic reviews of evidence linking the quality of urban form to human health impacts, an econo...
