Etive Currie – GCC/PNNE/April It is hard to feel on top of life if you know that where you live is looked down upon, if you know that you are treated less well because of where you live, if you know people think less of you because of where you live.

Etive Currie – GCC/PNNE/April Glasgow City Test Site…… Our test site focuses on integrating health and wellbeing into the planning system which includes placemaking, developing healthy sustainable neighbourhoods and placing communities more in charge of their local environments. We have been working with partners in Public Health and have been developing work relating to health impact assessment, working with community members using a co-production assets approach (where by the community are equal contributors and they bring all their assets and skills to the table). The team have developed (or are testing) some great innovations, including: ~ Building on work started in the East End Local Development Strategy which included a health impact assessment at a very early stage.

Etive Currie – GCC/PNNE/April ~ CALTON STREET AUDIT: Working with Living Streets Scotland we carried out a street audit on the local Community Area Associations Plan for Change. The Street Audit involved professionals from different departments within Glasgow City Council (DRS, LES, etc); public health practitioners and people who stay there. We have now started working a series of green space, public realm, access/movement and lighting projects. The projects are jointly funded by Green space/ENV 2 and Equally Well monies. The risk here is that we are not including the entire community and have only captured the Calton Area Associations view. Key task is to become more inclusive and get more local people involved.

The main part of the model is a nine piece jigsaw which represents spatial planning themes. The HSN Model addresses the complexity of planning and the development process, and assists in the process of quality placemaking by informing decisions. ~ An electronic tool (HSN Placemaker) which can be downloaded or used online to generate discussion about placemaking and health & wellbeing, allowing people to improve environments and think about how this makes them feel and initiate conversations between local people and planning and built environment professionals.

Etive Currie – GCC/PNNE/April Anthony Morgans: Asset Model for Public Health…… THEORY OF SALUTOGENESIS ASSET MAPPING ASSET INDICATORS A. EVIDENCE BASE B. ACTION C. EVALUATION Many policies FAIL in the ACTION stage and never make it to Implementation. Need to focus on WHAT WORKS and HOW THINGS WORK. ONE SIZE – DOES NOT FIT ALL – there are cultural variations, socio-economic variations, etc. to consider in terms of how things work. Communities ARE NEVER BUILT ON THEIR DEFICIENCIES.
