Research Professor and Director of OPENspace, ECA
Landscape architecture
My research focuses on inclusive access to outdoor environments and the salutogenic benefits of such places. My interests include the links between landscape, health and quality of life for older people, for children and for teenagers. Current research covers: the influence of outdoor environments on people's physical activity, particularly walking; the contribution of public green space to deprived communities' well-being; and the behavioural links between access to green space and measures of health.
