Can green and blue infrastructure help reduce health inequalities? Join this free webinar that will delve into the latest research linking planning, green / blue space, and health inequalities. Led by Professor Ben Wheeler and Dr Mark Ferguson, from the University of Exeter, they will critically engage with opportunities and risks that planners face when integrating green and blue space. Then they will provide insights into how a ‘systems approach’ can identify, and minimise, unintended consequences, and maximise health benefits for your places and communities.
