7. Recovery is not what services do to or for
people
Recovery is what people experience themselves as
they become empowered to manage their mental
illness in a manner that allows them to achieve a
meaningful and positive sense of belonging to their
community.

More than 2 million Londoners need to
build some walking or cycling into their
daily routine.
London’s transport & streets keep people active
4 in 10 adults
7 in 10 children
in London
are not active enough
20. We can only get more people walking and cycling more often if we change the look and feel of our
streets.
Streets need to feel welcoming places to be, that means tackling air pollution, noise and road danger
too.

Editor's Notes
Creating street environments which are inviting people out on to them is not just what we need to get our population physically active but to improve our health in many ways – social interaction, tackling isolation, anxiety, road injuries, air pollution etc.
And all of these are connected because if you want to get everyone active everyday, which we need for our health and wellbeing we need to create street environments which are inviting to walk and cycle in and the only way we can do that is by tackling all of the other health impacts of our street environments.
