This project will combine state-of-the art methods in computer vision and artificial intelligence alongside co-creation of a web-based toolkit for action for use by city planners and urban designers that demonstrate practical pathways Improving our understanding of the strengths and limitations of existing city designs to ensure they are safe, clean, healthy, and sustainable.
This outward-looking proposal brings together stakeholders from multiple sectors in Australia and the UK to create, use and share better understandings of how to measure NCD-relevant green space qualities. These qualities will be tested with robust measures of mental ill-health and cardiometabolic diseases in Sydney, Wollongong, Glasgow and Edinburgh. This new evidence will be used in the co-design of green space quality policy options intended to promote healthier communities for all.
