Description
In this special Tuesday FITS, international expert Dr Jasper Schipperijn will discuss how neighbourhoods provide opportunities (or barriers) for people’s health and well-being. The physical design and characteristics of the neighbourhood environment influence a range of social and health outcomes.
The urban environment influences the way in which we raise families and provide for our future. We can better support our health and well-being by creating more ‘liveable’, compact, pedestrian-friendly, less car dependent and more socially inclusive cities.
Dr Schipperijn will discuss the latest built environment and child health research.
