It contains important policies on Healthy Streets™ and makes it a requirement that those involved in planning and development must ‘Use the Healthy Streets Approach to prioritise health in all planning decisions’.

Healthy Streets for London

Healthy Streets is central to the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan’s vision for the city. In A City for All Londoners he said

Transport is one of the most significant and effective ways that I can improve the environment and the heath and quality of life of all Londoners… my vision to create ‘Healthy Streets’ – which aims to reduce traffic, pollution and noise, create more attractive, accessible and people-friendly streets where everybody can enjoy spending time and being physically active, and ultimately to improve people’s health.

In February 2017 Transport for London (TfL) published their plan for embedding the Healthy Streets Approach
