Shaping Neighbourhoods by Hugh Barton
With many new case studies and a wealth of new research, the second edition of Shaping Neighbourhoods outlines the principles for planning healthy and sustainable neighbourhoods and towns, putting the topical issues of climate change and obesity at the centre of its concern."This is not a book to read cover to cover but a practical manual to dip intoIt aims to be of use to a wide range of audiences: from planners to community groups....Those of us working on health impact assessments often find that public health practitioners and spatial planners speak different professional languages. This book will help us to find common ground and common language....Overall, I think this book amply demonstrates the many links between place and health, in a very accessible format. More importantly, it shows how we can use this knowledge practically, to develop better environments for the future." - Margaret Douglas, Consultant in Public Health. Review in the Journal of Public Health
"a very attractive teaching text" - Michael Hebbert, University of Manchester
