6. SHINE priorities Walkable neighbourhoods: focussing on the pedestrian environment, safety, connectivity and accessibility Age-friendly neighbourhoods: focussing on the health and inclusion of those who may be most vulnerable e.g. childhood and older age (60+) Open streets: considering a wider view of street function and emphasising the concept of democratic streets available to all The natural environment in the urban realm: seeking to promote quality green and blue spaces and their use as a ‘natural health service’

7. Methods Mixed methods including neighbourhood mapping, qualitative and quantitative research methods, and reviews of the evidence. Intergenerational work e.g. meetings and research methods including children and older people Inter-disciplinary and inter-sectoral work including the voluntary sector, residents, academics, planners, practitioners, transport specialists, health promotion specialists Translational research: turning research into usable knowledge in order to take action

8. Translational research: Translating findings and evidence “It has been acknowledged that a large gulf remains between what we know and what we practice. Hence a task, if not the main task, is to improve knowledge transfer.” International Public Health Symposium on Environment and Health Research. WHO 2008 Science for Policy, Policy for Science: Bridging the Gap, Madrid, Spain, 20–22 October 2008 Report, Copenhagen: WHO Regional Office for Europe

11. Evidence: shooting yourself in the foot “To do something without intending to which spoils a situation for yourself” ( Cambridge online dictionary ) Public health ‘good’ evidence Low risk of bias Clear link between intervention and health outcome Tension? not to delay/stop improvements to neighbourhood environments because current evidence is weak not to spend/divert public money to weak interventions if there are better ways of spending the money

12. Child friendly neighbourhoods: evidence “Healthy built environments for children and young people: A systematic review of intervention studies” –Child health outcome reported –Change to built neighbourhood environment –Control /comparison group Studies –9,686 records identified, duplicates removed; 7,645 titles and abstracts checked; 113 full text studies assessed; 33 primary studies in relation to 27 separate interventions included –built environment changes to promote active travel (n=12) –modifications to public parks (n=8) –built environment changes promoting road safety (n=3) –package of community wide measures (n=4)
