Over the last two years, NHS England has been developing their 健康新市镇 计划. As consultants involved with this ground-breaking project, it has proved to us and our partners the value derived from creating places that embed healthcare in development projects. The scale ranges from master-planning of new developments, 激活社区来支持他们的医疗保健, and through technology that helps support new models of care.
At the heart of these new places (referred to as ‘健康新市镇’) will be around 70,000套新房. This number roughly coincides with the requirement of homes that London needs to deliver each year through 2030 to meet the demand for new housing stock.
绿色天空思维 周，由 开放城市 由AG平台赞助, recently focused on the City of London and how a ‘people first’ approach can lead to a better city. For this conference, IBI held a debate centered on health and housing.
During an early morning brainstorm session with built environment professionals and academics, the group explored the opportunity and challenges that exist in developing new housing stock, with the specific aim of improving long-term healthcare outcomes.
这个问题的核心是两个主要事实. Firstly, that the cost to the NHS of the impact of poor housing is around £2.每年50亿美元, and secondly recent research sets out that up to 30% of new home owners and renters are prepared to pay more for a healthy home.
The attendees were asked to consider three questions that looked at examples of good practice, but also asked what the opportunities and challenges t在这里 are for the profession in delivering such exemplary work:
- What are the best examples of housing that demonstrably contribute towards better healthcare outcomes?
- What are the challenges in each of our professions that prevent us from addressing these issues at greater scale?
- What additional information do you think our professions need to help support a greater delivery of more innovative and progressive housing that supports healthcare outcomes?
The short sessions lead to intense dialogue around topics such as improved training for professionals in this subject matter, from architects and engineers to town planning colleagues. We also discussed the best way in which a ‘centralized’ portal of best practice examples and guidance could be created.
A full summary of the responses to each of the questions can be found 在这里.
