Architects, urban planners and transport engineers (among many others) can create environments in which healthy choices are easy choices.
The Oxford Health Alliance’s Design initiative focuses on environmental determinants of chronic disease.
Current priorities:
- Follow-up from the Forum on healthy and sustainable cities >> held in Sydney, Australia (29 February 2008)
- Planning for the OxHA 2008 Summit – Building a Healthy Future >>
- Identifying and showcasing best practice from around the world
- Building a diverse and international network via 3FOUR50
- Advocating for healthy people, places and planet
Professor Tony Capon is the project director for this initiative. Katy Cooper is project manager.
We welcome your thoughts, suggestions and contributions.
