Urban Studies and Planning Taster Session - "Planning the healthy city"

Join this session to explore the role of planning in making better urban places. We'll introduce the School of Geography and Planning, discuss; What is urban studies and planning all about?; and then introduce some ideas on how planning can impact upon people’s physical and mental health and wellbeing through housing, the provision of active travel infrastructure, access to greenspace and the creation of connected, inclusive and accessible places and spaces. There’ll also be a short exercise to explore how planners can work to create healthier places via the application of a technique known as health impact assessment. In addition, there’ll be time at the end of the session to talk with student ambassadors who can answer any questions you may have about studying urban studies and planning with us.
