Inclusive Healthy Places: A Guide to Inclusion & Health in Public Space: Learning Globally to Transform Locally

A participatory tool for evaluating and creating inclusive, healthy public places that support health equity. This framework supports inclusion to advance health equity through public spaces. The framework is built around four guiding principles for shaping and assessing public space projects. Only one principle addresses physical space, reflecting the need for practitioners to look beyond physical design and placemaking to create change. The process considers context, process and sustainability. The framework allows users to adapt and apply the approach to their situation in different ways. Adaptable to a very wide applicability and relevant to different situations for improvement of public space towards inclusion and health. Useful for community, business and public sector. Mixed groups of actors and decision-makers including professionals with communities who are vulnerable and often marginalized.
