Supporting the emotional, mental and physical health of Londoners

The Wellbeing programme profiles best practice across the capital and investigates the impact of new ideas, policies and research on the emotional, mental and physical health of Londoners. With patterns in lifestyle set to change in the wake of the pandemic the built environment needs to ensure we live, work and play in happy healthy places.

Mass urbanisation and the rise of digitalisation are having a dramatic effect on wellbeing. We are permanently stimulated in an increasingly dense environment and therefore, it has never been more vital for us to rethink how we plan and build the city. How do we ensure London’s built environment; our homes, streets, workplaces and green spaces promote and encourage a healthy population?

This programme explores the design and developments making a real difference to the lives of Londoners and ensures wellbeing is at the top of the agenda. The Expert Panel addresses the fundamental barriers to making long lasting change in the wellbeing space, reviewing policies and projects under the lens of social justice, sustainability and health qualities.
