Development of landscape today requires planning
Answer:
Much of the history of landscape
architecture can be traced back to the need
to create places that were beneficial for
people’s health and wellbeing.
Victorian parks were established as places to seek fresh air and
respite for urban populations; the innovative tree-lined suburbs
of Port Sunlight and Bourneville were planned so as to enhance
residents’ sense of wellbeing; while Frederick Law Olmsted’s
ambitious Emerald Necklace Park in Boston, USA, was designed
to improve water quality and reduce the number of deaths from
cholera. There is an honourable tradition that links landscape
architecture and public health. This Position Statement
continues that tradition.
How we plan, design and manage our landscapes should be
guided as much by their importance for health as for all of their
other functions. This Position Statement aims to give public
health professionals, planners and landscape architects a better
understanding of the contemporary role landscape plays in the
creation of healthy places.
A growing evidence base, reflected in national policy,
suggests that spending on health care could be reduced if
greater investment was made in preventing ill health before it
has a chance to occur. Based on an overview of the available
evidence, the Landscape Institute sets out five principles that
capture the positive links between landscape and health.
Some 22 projects then show how these principles can be
applied. Finally, our recommendations aim to inspire greater
collaboration between public health, planning and landscape
professionals, so that landscape is fully integrated with the
delivery of public health outcomes.
Over the past 50 years, public spending on the NHS has risen
from 3.4 per cent to 8.2 per cent of GDP1
. If spending continues
on the same trajectory for the next 50 years, then by 2062 the UK
could be spending up to a fifth of its GDP on the NHS alone2
. It is
generally accepted that now is the time to think about how much
we spend on health, where we spend it and how it should be paid
for. Increasing concerns about the cost of treating conditions
such as obesity, heart disease, diabetes and mental illness,
coupled with the ever-present need to demonstrate value for
money, make this debate more necessary than ever.
The potential impact that public health interventions can make
on reducing these costs is huge. According to a 2012 study by
the Canadian Public Health Association, it costs 27 times more to
achieve a reduction in cardiovascular mortality through clinical
interventions than it does to achieve the same result through
local public health spending3
. Interventions in the landscape can,
and indeed should, play an important role in delivering these
cost-effective improvements in health and wellbeing.
Landscapes have long been seen as places of delight and
relaxation. Today, these associations are becoming more
explicit: an increasingly strong evidence base demonstrates
the positive effects that access to good-quality landscapes has
on our health and wellbeing – and the negative effects when
we don’t. We also know that areas of social and economic
deprivation, which are often linked with poorer health and
reduced life expectancy, can also be associated with limited
access to good-quality green space4
