Why attend?

The Public Health & Sustainable Transport Summit brings together central and local government decision-makers to focus on practical best practice between the public health, transport planning and urban development sectors. 

Physical activity can make huge positive inputs to a range of health and inequality challenges, and the UK government has promised cross-departmental action to increase population activity levels. 

With more than 60% of councils declaring a Climate Emergency, boosting decarbonisation and resilience have become anchors of community concern, and are ideally placed to be the drivers of a transition to active and low carbon solutions.

Boosting active and sustainable travel is a clear winner in the current drive to deliver much-needed social and environmental benefits across the population. A key focus will be emerging new opportunities around integrated and collaborative planning, coming forward in the National Planning Policy Framework, The Department for Transport’s updated appraisal guidance, the National Infrastructure Assessment and Public Health England’s vision.  

The Public Health & Sustainable Transport Summitis all about how local authorities, practitioners and innovators are delivering real-world benefits for citizens, today and tomorrow.
