Reuniting health with planning: healthier homes, healthier communities
This handbook by the Town and Country Planning Association comes hot off the heels of the Government's National Planning Policy Framework. It explains the reform agenda across the planning and health sectors in England, including a requirement on planners to work with public health organisations, and a new public health responsibility for local authorities. It also gives planners and public health practitioners ideas for how they can work together. Using case studies from around England, it explores how places are using this time of change to push forward their intention to integrate their work across both sectors.
