Barking Riverside Healthy New Town Research & Innovation Summit
Event date
Description
This is an invitation only-event for researchers, innovators and other Healthy New Towns (opens new window) sites across England.
Barking Riverside (opens new window) is one of the most ambitious and important new developments in the UK and an NHS England designated Healthy New Towns (opens new window) demonstrator site. We aim to design and deliver interventions which increase healthy life expectancy, reduce health inequalities, and support inclusion and healthy ageing for all those living and working in the locality. An important first step is the agreement of 10 Healthy New Town Planning Principles for Barking Riverside. You can read about these here (opens new window).
The Research and Innovation Summit will bring together researchers, innovators and practitioners in health and care, planning, urban design and related disciplines to share their knowledge and expertise about what works to make places healthy and inclusive. Together, we will explore opportunities for collaboration in future research and innovation which will further test and broaden the evidence via learning from the Barking Riverside development.
This will be an Open Space event, with maximum opportunities for interaction. A Showcase area will highlight some of the good practice we have already identified across urban resilience, healthy ageing, housing, community leadership, and health and care services.
