What creates healthy cities?

HLS -

The GCHU at Kellogg College “seeks to make urban centres environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable, and to provide an environment that supports and sustains health and wellbeing”.

At its first Public Seminar of the academic year, the GCHU invited speakers to discuss the Commission on Creating Healthy Cities Final Report on “What Creates Healthy Cities?” launched in July 2022.

The Q&A session that followed presentations by Lord Best (Chair of the Commission on Creating Healthy Cities), Julia Thrift (Director, Healthier Place-Making, Town and Country Planning Association (TCPA)), Dr Stephanie Tierney (Departmental Lecturer and Senior Researcher, Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Services) and Councillor Susan Brown (Head of Corporate Strategy, Oxford City Council) placed the discussion firmly in the Oxford context.

How healthy is your street?
A healthy street is one in which all people feel welcome, relaxed and safe, where people can choose to walk and cycle and spend time. The 10 Healthy Streets Indicators are the aspects necessary for streets to be inclusive, healthy environments.
