Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. — Izaak Walton
The Health & Wellbeing in Planning Network aims to support practitioners working in the area of promoting health through planning and the built environment, whether you are a planner, health professional, architect, developer, academic, engineer in any sector.
This Network is founded by Michael Chang, Rachel Flowers and Gemma McKinnon. It is very much a Network by everyone for everyone.
It aims to build on, not duplicate, the many networks out there by allowing a central point of call for information exchanges and informal peer support on issues you face.
