Empowering Healthy Places

Unveiling the powers and practices of local councils in fostering healthy neighbourhoods

This guide for the London Government Association, which Prior + Partners developed alongside the Quality of Life Foundation, explores powers spanning planning, to public health and environmental health, and sets out a series of recommendations for both local government and national government on how to improve local health and wellbeing outcomes.

The publication includes four case studies, exploring how councils are currently working to create healthy neighbourhoods in different ways. It seeks to build upon work such as the LGA and TCPA’s Developing Healthy Places report from 2018 which sets out how councils can work with developers to deliver healthy places.
