Health and Wellbeing in all Places: roundtable report

In March 2024 we convened Health and Wellbeing in all Places – roundtable discussion generously sponsored by master developer Urban&Civic.

The event brought together a diverse array of stakeholders united by a shared vision of creating healthier, more resilient communities. At the heart of our discussions was a recognition of the urgent need for collaborative action to address the multifaceted challenges facing our neighbourhoods.

We were joined by representatives from:

• The Health Foundation
• Sport England
• Impact on Urban Health
• Town and Country Planning Association (TCPA)
• Housing Associations’ Charitable Trust (HACT)
• Centre For Thriving Places
• Tackling the Root causes Upstream of Unhealthy Urban Development (TRUUD)
• Sustrans
• Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI)
• Centre for Ageing Better

We brought together these organisations with differing priorities and approaches, so that we could learn from one another, look beyond the boundaries of individual organisational mandates, and explore how our diverse approaches and skills can converge towards a common purpose: to create better outcomes for all.

This report summarises the discussions, explains what action the Quality of Life Foundation will take as a result, and makes broader recommendations for industry and policy.
