Urbanisation + Human/Planetary Health


Project Description
​
A three-year pilot, UPSTREAM, funded by the Wellcome Trust under their flagship programme: Our Planet Our Health. The goal of our project is to understand how planetary health might become a priority for those in control of urban development decision-making. 

The project is split in to three main activities:

1. Reviewing the evidence in the health literature linking quality of urban environment to health outcomes (UWE Bristol, Health and Applied Sciences)

2.  Estimating the economic cost-benefit of that evidence (University of Bath)

3. Exploring with senior executives of the UK's major delivery agencies the barriers and opportunities in creating healthy urban development (db+a, GSPHA, UWE Bristol)
Our Role
​
db+a developed and led the proposal in partnership with Gabriel Scally (GSPHA), Alistair Hunt (UoBath) and Judy Orme (UWE Bristol) with support from Kris Ebi (UoWashington) and Roderick Lawrence (UoGeneva).

​UWE Bristol is the lead partner/contract holder. db+a co-coordinates the project in close partnership with the project steering group - Gabriel Scally, Judy Orme, Alistair Hunt and Paul Pilkington (UWE Bristol) - and wider research team. db+a lead on integration of work streams, interviews with case study partners, and advisor liaison.
