The challenge of delivering healthy
equitable communities is ever more urgent and progress is
vital to the modernisation of the NHS. Effective planning
for sustainable communities demands that the whole environment
is health promoting. Integrating urban planning that is designed
to support healthier lifestyles with the planning of modern
healthcare services and facilities promises to deliver a higher
quality of life for all ages and groups, reduce inequity and
help relieve the growing unsustainable burden on the NHS.
