The Healthy Streets Design Check is helping local authorities, urban designers, transport planners and highways teams create healthier streets for everyone.
Find out about the Healthy Streets Approach and check toolWe've created an introductory design guide to outline the approach, tools and techniques needed to design a low traffic neighbourhood.
We’re working as part of the Better Planning Coalition to seek revisions to the National Planning Policy Framework. We’re calling for changes to spatial planning policy in England because the planning system has a vital role to play in creating places which enable everyone to live healthier, happier lives.
At Sustrans we want to support local authorities to adapt streets, roads and places during the Coronavirus crisis and as we emerge from it.
So we've put together a list of measures that local authorities can implement and information on how we can help.

And at Sustrans, we think these places should be places that prioritise the people who live and spend time there.
we create places that connect us to each other and what we need, where everyone can thrive without having to use a car.
Sociable places where friends and facilities are a short walk away, and it’s easy and pleasant to travel beyond our neighbourhood.
We don’t work alone to create liveable towns and cities.
We bring together the people who live and spend time there, including those with seldom-heard voices, to make the change they want to see.
Lewisham Council commissioned us to deliver a community-led design project on Rolt Street to demonstrate community support for the scheme to TfL. We were then commissioned by the council to work on their bid and secured them £2.9 million from the Mayor of London’s Liveable Neighbourhood fund for work in North Deptford.
Healthy streets and liveable neighbourhoods in LewishamWe worked with Stirling Council and the local community and businesses to reimagine the approach to the towns' railway station, to create a space that feels more welcoming, is people friendly and inclusive.
