RE: Re: Health and Environment and BEN

[Guest guest]

Healthy urban development is one of my main areas of work, there is considerable

work going on at local regional & national levesl with interest from DH, CLG,

Homes & Communities Agency.

There is a growing body of literature around this subject. I suggest the

National Trust " Natural Childhood " report from last month as a starting point.

The strongest evidence for access to good quality green space is around mental

wellbeing, the evidence around increased physical activity is less conclusive.

If you are interested in 'healthy urban development' I would look at the Spatial

Planning & Health Group website (google SPAHG) - this is the group that was

working on the NICE guidance for healthy environments before it was discontinued

and it includes senior people from academia, public health, planning & local

authorities. This is a good gateway website.

For many years I have been trying my best to support BEN - The BLack

Environement Network.

I hope this link will lead to some discussion about the need for HVs promote

contact with the

" green infrastructure " of our towns and cities for young children.

I have read lots of research about the importance of such " outdoor education " to

improve language skills, social confidence, observation skills, numeracy and

literacy.
