The programme will be rooted in innovation and cultural change, to explore, develop and test how to mainstream nature and health approaches in urban settings. Central to the work will be the ability to engage with and co-create options for a future programme with leaders from multiple sectors (including but not limited to the environmental, health, physical activity, Place-Making and, economic growth sectors).
