CSaP Policy Workshop on Healthy Cambridge
The built environment has a significant influence on people's daily lives, shaping their physical, mental, and social well-being. Spatial planning, as a key component of the broader built environment and real estate sectors, holds considerable potential to support public health. However, these two domains—spatial planning and public health—are often disconnected in relevant policy strategies.

The Policy Workshop was organised in partnership with the Cambridge Room and Professor Flora Samuel, Head of the Department of Architecture at the University of Cambridge.
The workshop leveraged participants’ expertise to understand what makes Cambridge different and distinct, and where lessons can be drawn from elsewhere. The discussion explored how Greater Cambridge can evolve in a way that supports community health (physical, social, and mental well-being) and which pathways should be prioritised in delivering this outcome.
