Quality of Life Framework
A blueprint for health, wellbeing, and social impact
The Quality of Life Framework was developed by the Quality of Life Foundation and helps you to understand how your home and neighbourhood affects your health and wellbeing, highlighting the evidence base and including case studies that demonstrate good practice. It is intended for use by community groups; housing developers, planners and designers; architects; investors; housing associations; operators; and local authorities.
It brings together our work into six overriding themes:
- A sense of control
- Health equity
- Connection to nature
- A sense of wonder
- Getting around
- Connected communities
Grounded in evidence, the Framework sets out how communities, developers and their designers, and local authorities can create better places for people to live by placing greater emphasis on health and wellbeing.
This is the second version of the Framework, published in 2024. Since creating the first version in 2020, the Quality of Life Foundation had furthered their own understanding of what is needed at a local and national level to improve people’s quality of life. They did this by carrying out an evidence review, undertaking practical projects to implement best practice, and working directly on policy at a local and national level.
