Research has demonstrated that housing quality is a key urban intervention in reducing health risks and improving climate resilience, addressing ambition of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Yet remains problem even high income countries such as England. In particular, hazards excess cold, heat lack ventilation leading to damp mould have been identified major issue homes. shows these can lead range conditions, respiratory cardiovascular disease, infections mental problems....
Background Poor quality urban environments have substantial impacts on public and planetary health. These costs to society are not readily quantifiable remain largely external mainstream measures of progress. Methods for accounting these externalities exist, but their effective application is in development. Yet there an increasing urgency demand given the profound threats life both now future. We combine data from a series systematic reviews quantitative evidence linking characteristics...
Abstract This paper sets out the main findings from two rounds of interviews with senior representatives UK’s urban development industry: third and final phase a 3-year pilot, Moving Health Upstream in Urban Development’ (UPSTREAM). The project had primary aims: firstly, to attempt value economically health cost-benefits associated quality environments and, secondly, interview those control UK order reveal potential barriers to, opportunities for, creation healthy environments, including...
ObjectivesThe urban environment can have a significant impact on mental and physical health. Health appraisal of new developments should address these issues. However, transferable economic valuation evidence for planners in the United Kingdom is thin, especially around health, making it harder to estimate cost-efficiency public health interventions conditions. A further complication that may be perceived differently from This study examines willingness pay (WTP) avoid depression lower back...
The city of Bristol currently generates around 48,000 tonnes household food waste every year. This incurs loss resources and environmental damage throughout the cycle. In this paper we quantify value baseline socio-environmental impacts from in before examining potential costs benefits that may result changes to behaviour. so doing, look better inform choice reduction methods public policy. two possible policy targets are explored: (1) a 20% increase recycling (2) an overall decrease 20%....
Bristol, one of the United Kingdom’s (UK) nine Core Cities, is seeking to achieve Zero Waste City status by 2049. This study combines macro-economic valuation with transition pathway mapping and adapted participatory scenario planning stress test city’s ambitious food waste targets. The primary aim enable better understanding who might be affected achieving these targets, both locally nationally, potential scale impacts, therefore barriers policy opportunities. focuses on household...
Despite evidence showing health impacts associated with environmental features such as housing, air quality, transport, and greenspaces, urban development decisions often result in less healthy environments. To address research-practice gaps we explore a collaboration involving an embedded researcher who bridged between practitioners researchers on UK local government-led regeneration project. This facilitated implementation of new economic model that demonstrated the changes to built...
Poor quality urban environments substantially increase non-communicable disease. Responsibility for associated decision-making is dispersed across multiple agents and systems: fast growing authorities are the primary gatekeepers of new development change in UK, yet driving forces remote private sector interests supported by a political economy focused on short-termism consumption-based growth. Economic valuation externalities widely thought to be fundamental, evidence how value integrate it...

BackgroundUrban environments are placing an increasing burden on our life support systems. Research is needed further upstream in urban governance and the role of economic valuation critical decision-making. The three-year pilot study, Moving Health Upstream Urban Development (UPSTREAM), funded by Wellcome, has made a small, but important contribution to research this area. We report here results workstream quantify scale impact that built environment health monetary terms.MethodsFollowing...

<h3>Background</h3> Urban development decisions can influence population health and wellbeing: connected, mixed-use neighbourhoods high-quality housing are associated with positive outcomes, e.g. from increasing physical activity, air quality social interactions. Poor designs negative noise, safety concerns car dependency. Design involve trade-offs between multiple aims challenges. Potential impacts may be overlooked. Early-stage decision-making provides opportunity for influence; however,...
