Britain's productivity "puzzle"
Foundations: Why Britain Has Stagnated.
A new essay by @bswud, @SCP_Hughes & me.
Why the UK's ban on investment in housing, infrastructure and energy is not just a problem. It is *the* problem.
And how fixing it is the defining task of our generation.

We took evidence from the real estate industry to illustrate how decisions about health for planning are influenced.
New paper in @CitiesxHealth out today applies a systems approach.

If you’re involved in #urban #planning or #PublicHealth & have 10-15 minutes to spare, please take a look at our survey.
It will show pairs of factors relating to the consideration of health (identified from over 100 interviews) & ask you to assess the influence between them.
Could you help us evaluate mapping of relationships to improve our understanding of how health and planning considerations interact and could be influenced?
📋Take part in our short survey bit.ly/3AoBIL2

New on the blog 📢 'A systems approach to local spatial planning'
@MichaelCJChang explains how he is taking a close examination of local plans to help unravel the mystery of the current state of planning for health policy and practice.

My new piece for the @UniofBathIPR blog for the @ResearchTruud project.
Can the silos be broken? Cross-government working for public health
I discuss three strategies: bridging the silos, redisigning the silos, and decentralisation.

We’ve been #SystemsMapping, using the language of #CausalLoopDiagrams, based on 123 interviews conducted by @ResearchTruud
A simplified map looking at factors affecting health consideration within #UrbanDevelopment has been used to locate interventions TRUUD is co-developing.
New in our briefing collection from @NeilCarhart and @pablo_newberry : Mapping health consideration and multi-sectoral interventions in the urban development decision-making system.
How we understand system causes and co-design interventions.

My new piece in @ConversationUK with @bates_g based on @ResearchTruud research.
We outline
...the potential public health costs of cuts to @UKLabour £28bn pledge.
...the failure of the UK govt to embed public health in its housing policy.

"The National Planning Policy Framework requires planning policies to take into account identified local health needs"
And yet only...
126 (36.4%) link to local health needs,
101 (29.2%) link to local health strategies,
129 (37.5%) have a health policy.

We want to know more about how professionals in urban development consider health when planning projects. From our initial research we know that dominant ways of thinking are a barrier to promoting healthier outcomes.
To take part contact: [email protected]
A @ResearchTruud and University of Bristol-led project is calling for #developers and #assetmanagers to aid a research project examining how to make #healthiercities through #design bit.ly/47yMSru #urbandesign #urbanplanning

The more international attention the case gets, the more likely the HO is to overturn it - please share if you can, international friends and colleagues
Shameful, devastating, racist. @DoselineKiguru is a brilliant and much-valued colleague - what she and her daughter have been put through is evil theguardian.com/uk-news/2023…

The National #Infrastructure Commission published it's second 'National Infrastructure Assessment' a few weeks ago.
It's available here: nic.org.uk/studies-reports/n…
It's a thorough report with lots of valuable insights & important recommendations. Some brief thoughts 🧵

Beyond the scope of the NIA, but underpinning it, should be an understanding of what society wants.
If we understand what outcomes we value & desire in terms of health, economy, quality of life etc. we can assess what type & quality of infrastructure we need to deliver it.
Then we can make informed decisions on 'shovel worthy' projects (as per @ICE_engineers SAID report), rather than rush to the 'shovel ready' (often because they are just more of the same), or even find ways to meet our needs without building anything.
