Shaping Places for Wellbeing
• What is "place"?
• Place and Wellbeing Outcomes
• What are we doing?
-Dunoon Project town activity

Page 4

What is place?
• Every place is a different blend of physical, social and
economiccharacteristics and needs that interact and
influence each other.
• Place-based workingrequires a joint working,
collaborative approach that takes account of the unique
blend of characteristics that exist in every place to
identify and maximisethe positive impact of any
unintended consequences of our actions.
• We need to work together and coordinate our actions
to ensure they contribute to a ‘triple win’ of enhancing
the wellbeing of our planet and our people and
creating greater equity

Place and Wellbeing
Outcomes -Themes
• Focus on what every place needs to
enable wellbeing of people and planet.
• Deliver consistency, clarity, ​confidence
and collaboration
• Embed in policy & action to deliver
such places.
• The principles of equality, net-zero
emissions and sustainability
underpin all of these themes.

Place and Wellbeing Outcomes: Example detail
Active travel
Everyone can:
• easily move around using good-quality, accessible,
well-maintained and safe segregated wheeling,
walking and cycling routes and access secure bike
parking.
• wheel, walk and cycle through routes that connect
homes, destinations and public transport, are
segregated from, and prioritised above, motorised
traffic and are part of a local green network.

Page 7

Active travel improves
health by increasing
physical activity, weight
loss and reducing obesity
Public transport improves
access to services and
facilities and connects
communities
Public transport reduces
carbon emissions
Some people can find it
necessary to purchase a
car even when they cannot
afford it which can lead to
further debt
