| Description: |
With case studies and research, this title outlines the principles for planning healthy and sustainable neighbourhoods and towns, putting the topical issues of climate change and obesity at the centre of its concern. |
| Synopsis: |
This substantially revised and important second edition comes at a pivotal time, with both a strong agenda of localism in planning and with public health professionals now realising the vital importance of shaping urban environments in order to reduce the burden of disease and support better health outcomes. This guide ensures you: * understand the underlying principles for planning healthy and sustainable neighbourhoods and towns * plan the collaborative and inclusive processes needed for multi-sectoral cooperation * develop know-how and skills in matching local need with urban form * discover new ways to integrate development with natural systems * design places with character and recognise good urban form * guide communities, and advise developers, in the creation of successful and sustainable places for living. Containing many new case studies and a wealth of new research, this new edition has benefited from previous user feedback. Shaping Neighbourhoods is the indispensable guide for bridging the gulf between theory and practice, between planning authorities, investors and communities, and between different professional perspectives.Whether you are a student faced with a local planning project; a planner, urban designer or developer involved in new development; a health authority concerned with promoting physical activity; or a community group wanting to improve your neighbourhood; this book is for you. |
