HUDU monitors and analyses a range of information to support its wider role of aligning planning and health, and of working with partners to promote healthy urban development and healthy communities. We use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) tools to map the spatial distribution and impacts of these metrics.
Examples include:
- Demographic trends and projections
- Changing health infrastructure and services
- Development trends
- Housing pipeline
- Large residential developments
- Planning contributions for health (including S106 and CIL)
- Relevant plans and planning policy documents such as Opportunity Area Frameworks
- Public transport accessibility
