New collaborative research: Building health equity

We are excited to have joined forces with Legal & General and the UCL Institute of Health Equity in a new collaborative partnership.

The partnership aims to support and inspire the development sector to commit to greater health equity through homes and places across the UK.

The partnership will develop a programme of action to galvanise investors, housebuilders and developers, with two objectives:

  • To develop practical approaches to create homes and places that improve health equity.
  • To build a platform for leadership on homes, place and health.

In its initial phase the partnership will:

  • Consolidate and communicate the evidence base on the impact of homes and places on health equity.
  • Interview key stakeholders to understand barriers and opportunities to promoting health equity in the development process.
  • Convene a roundtable of individuals and organisations to strengthen health equity in the sector.

The partnership will publish key findings, recommendations and a programme of action in early 2024.
