Place overview, links between place & health and inequality in place
The fundamental causes of health inequality affect the places and communities in which we live. Where we live and where we spend our time has an important influence on our health and wellbeing. Whether somewhere nurtures good health or contributes to poor health depends on how a variety of factors come together to affect the people and communities within it. How places are designed, how they evolve and how they are maintained is therefore vital to the health of the people and communities within them.
