Report shines light on the barriers to healthy placemaking

Design Council worked with Social ChangeUK to survey over 600 built environment practitioners across the UK to understand their views and experiences across multiple areas on healthy placemaking.

The survey found that many practitioners are not using data and insight to design and create healthy places. Although some practitioners were aware of the evidence base for creating healthy places, it found that only 27% of practitioners are able to access and use local data to identify local priorities when working on placemaking projects.
