Title: Changing the Odds for Safety with Laws and Enforcement
Track: Change
Format: 90 minute moderated discussion
Abstract: Traffic fatalities have become a worldwide epidemic - 1.3 million people die in traffic crashes every year. Learn about recent successes in laws for cycling and walking, volunteer-led education actions, and enforcement that helps make roads safer for all modes. This panel will include advocacy, law and enforcement experts.

This document discusses using rankings to measure transport system performance and impact policy. It proposes developing a "Good Mobility Index" (GMIR) that incorporates transportation volume, greenhouse gas emissions, deaths, and infrastructure costs to measure sustainability. The document suggests rankings may influence policy if scientists agree on methodology, rankings are linked to targets, future visions are presented, society is engaged, and leaders from low-ranking areas are involved in proposing solutions. Regularly discussing rankings and getting the timing right for policy changes could help ensure they have impact.

Cities and corporations how do they intersect on sustainability? Sustainable Brands
This document summarizes a presentation given by Gil Friend, Chief Sustainability Officer of Palo Alto, and Chris Guenther, Research Director of Sustainability, on how cities and corporations can work together on sustainability initiatives. The presentation provided an overview of sustainability efforts already undertaken by Palo Alto, identified priority areas and key levers for future collaboration between cities and companies, and discussed potential barriers and ways to overcome them. It also summarized a report called "Citystates II" which makes the case for greater corporate leadership in driving urban sustainability and provides guidance for companies to work more closely with cities.
The document discusses using technology to help safely restart the economy during the COVID-19 pandemic. It proposes a digital health passport called the V-Health Passport that would allow individuals to register COVID-19 test and vaccine results. The passport uses a proprietary identification code called VCodefi that can be scanned from a distance and provides encrypted health information to authorized scanners. The system is intended to automatically notify individuals if they have been in close contact with someone who later tests positive for COVID-19. It aims to increase testing and support contact tracing efforts to reduce virus spread while allowing more economic activity.

Presenter: Todd Litman, Victoria Transport Policy Institute
Assistant: Aysha Cohen, UCLA Institute of Transportation Studies Scholar
Presentation Date: June 14, 2015
This document summarizes a problem solving workshop about improving transport in Britain that was held in London. It identifies key problems in 5 themes: modes of transport, human behavior, economics, infrastructure, and users' experience. Within each theme are 3-5 specific problems discussed, such as how to challenge car dominance, connect different transportation modes, and improve the user experience of sustainable transportation options. The workshop had 15 participants who identified 115 problems and generated 24 insights over the course of the discussion.
Summary of the output from the problem framing workshop for the GeoVation Challenge 'How can we improve transport in Britain?' held at the London Transport Museum on 19 January 2011.
The document discusses the need to change urban transportation strategies away from prioritizing private car use due to issues like congestion, poor air quality, and climate change. It recommends aiming for integrated public transportation, efficient highway use, increased walking and cycling, and liveable cities. Policy can deliver this change through integrated transportation and spatial development strategies, congestion charging, cycling and pedestrian infrastructure, freight policies, and public transportation subsidies. Good examples are seen in cities like Copenhagen, London, Shanghai, and Seoul that have reallocated road space and prioritized sustainable modes of transportation.
The document discusses sustainable urban transport and improving quality of life in cities. It notes that rapid motorization has negatively impacted cities economically, environmentally, and socially. The main problems are listed as energy consumption, emissions, safety issues, congestion, and social exclusion. Solutions proposed include improving transport efficiency, shifting modes to public transit and non-motorized options like walking and cycling, and reducing or avoiding travel. Examples given of successful cities emphasize high quality public transit integrated with land use planning and policies supporting alternatives to private vehicles.
Local Open Data: a perspective from local government in England 2014Gesche Schmid
The document discusses open data from the perspective of local government in England. It outlines four phases of working with open data: 1) publishing data, 2) standardizing data, 3) analyzing and using data, and 4) engaging users. The benefits of open data include innovation, improved services, and empowering citizens, businesses and communities. However, engagement with users has been limited due to lack of skills and understanding of what can be done with data. Efforts are needed to stimulate interest, find and analyze relevant data, and tell stories with data to empower communities.

This document discusses governance and policy issues related to managing the complex urban region of Greater Manchester during an economic recession. It covers several policy strands around regeneration, local government modernization, and performance management that have impacted local areas. Greater Manchester's Local Area Agreement is examined as a key partnership mechanism. The role of localities during a recession is debated, with suggestions that cities can provide leadership, sustain public investment, align with long-term economic strategies, and attract investment. Local government organizations argue for continued devolution of economic powers to sub-regions and local authorities to most effectively target recession responses. The challenges of coordinating policies and partners across different levels of government are also addressed.
Regional And Neighborhood Development Planning The Evolution Of Suburbs Usgbc...Mahender Vasandani
The document discusses the need for suburban regions to evolve in order to address economic, energy, and climate challenges. It argues that suburbs will need to provide more transportation options, allow mixed-use and higher density development, and create more walkable neighborhoods to thrive in the future. New Urbanism offers principles for suburban evolution, like interconnected streets, mixed-uses within walking distance of homes, and a focus on public realm and sense of place. Form-based codes are presented as a tool to achieve a community vision and predictable urban form. Examples of New Urbanist developments are provided.

This document discusses the complexities involved in valuing and disposing of local authority land for "best consideration" in accordance with relevant legislation. It notes that terms like "social value" and "community benefit" are often used but not clearly defined. Over time, legislation has expanded local authorities' powers and duties to consider social and environmental objectives alongside financial ones. Proper valuation requires assessing an asset's worth to specific parties in a given transaction, not just the highest monetary amount. Councils should make asset disposal decisions aligned with their community-focused policies and roles.

About Potato, The scientific name of the plant is Solanum tuberosum (L).Christina Parmionova
The potato is a starchy root vegetable native to the Americas that is consumed as a staple food in many parts of the world. Potatoes are tubers of the plant Solanum tuberosum, a perennial in the nightshade family Solanaceae. Wild potato species can be found from the southern United States to southern Chile

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

4. London’s borders
• London’s outer border with the South East and East regions
• London borough boundaries
• Ward boundaries
• Some councils from time
to time create
‘neighbourhoods’
London/SE border
Croydon/Bromley border
Croydon ward boundary
5. Why borders matter
• Different jurisdictions
• Interpretation of law
• By-laws
• Different policies
• Planning, housing, heritage, tall buildings
• Different political control
• Even if by same party
• Desirable infrastructure at centre of borough; unliked infrastructure
at the edge
12. Major effects
- Nine Elms: ex-industrial land on border now available for redevelopment
13. London Plan Opportunity Areas
- mostly on boundaries: often because of past industrial activity there
14. Service level impacts
• Refuse collection/recycling rules vary significantly from borough to
borough
• Patterns of social care and delivery methods can vary
• Policy approaches to housing, development and tall buildings
profoundly affected
• London has a very different political system to the counties and
unitary authorities which surround it
15. Net affordable housing delivery as % of total, 2014-15
- significant variation from borough to borough
16. Mechanisms and policies to reduce
boundary/service level effects
• London Councils
• Co-ordinates LB approaches to London-wide policy
• Represents LBs’ joint views
• The Mayor/Greater London Authority
• London Plan as framework for development; grant allocation
• Metropolitan services, eg, transport, police, fire
• Joint committees/partnerships
• Bi-lateral co-operation
• Political parties
• Central departments
17. Possible reform
• Fewer boroughs?
• More co-ordination power for the Mayor?
• More co-ordination power for central government and its agencies?
• More voluntary partnerships
Most importantly:
• Greater awareness of the impacts of boundaries
• On services
• On development
• On planning
• On design and streetscape etc etc…

61. What causes loneliness?
• Income
• Frailty
• Managing long term conditions
• Mental as well as physical
• Fear
• Of the unknown
• Of change
• Of “worst case scenario”
62. Health and social care impact
• Crisis management, not planned journey
• Unscheduled admissions
• Once you’re “in the system” . . .
• Cost and staffing pressures
• Downward spiral and revolving door
63. How do we address these fears?
• Do you know your neighbour?
• Digital inclusion
• Intergenerational opportunities
• Strong communities – physical and personal
• Getting transport right!

67. THE CONTEXT
• The oldest population in London and the second
highest with a severe physical disability
• Junctions with the 2nd, 4th and 5th worst collision
records on the Boroughs road network
• The largest influx of children between 2010 and 2015
of any London Borough
• Lower spend per person per month than comparable
Metropolitan Centres such as Kingston and Bromley
• Air quality hot spot
• Crime hot spot
68. • 3,300 new homes will be built, straddling the Ring Road,
as part of the Romford Housing Zone
• The people that will live in these new homes have yet to
decide how they will travel
• To maintain existing journey times on the Ring Road we
want to give these new people viable alternatives to the
private car
THE FUTURE
69.
70. THE PROPOSALS
• First Phase addresses the western side of the Ring
Road, through the Housing Zone
• Focus on reducing the barrier affect of the Ring Road
and encouraging positive development
• Replacement of existing subway networks with at-
grade crossings
• ‘Healthy Oases’ with new landscaping, public art,
informal play, SuDS, seating and lighting
• Free-flow, steady-state roundabout design
• £7.13M budget

77. The strategic aims of London government regarding devolution
Investment in skills and innovation towards a
high tech economy
Home building across all types of tenure
A safe capital city where business investors
have confidence
Faster reform of health and social care
services, leading to improvements
in health and reduction of pressures on
public services
Self financing growth and reform model
London is required to deliver internationally competitive growth and
to outpace other global cities, adding £6.4bn to the capital’s economy by 2030
79. From system turnover to joint (Commission) focus on London to partnership
The public health journey since2013
• With ambitions and powers
• Engagement across London
• Governance led by the city’s Mayor…
• ….And increasingly, others wanting to join

82. Early sub-regional pilots in London – initial ambitions
include integration on service, estate handling and prevention of
ill health
Lewisham integration:
Developing a whole system model
which fully integrates physical and
mental health and social care,
tailored and delivered to the whole
population.
Barking &
Dagenham, Havering
and Redbridge sub-
regional health and
care integration:
Aims to develop an
Accountable Care
Organisation with full
budget accountability.
Haringey prevention: aims to embed best
practice and test the limits of existing
powers to promote prevention. It seeks to
find the most effective ways of using
planning and licensing powers to create
healthy environments. The pilot will also
identify new ways of supporting more
people into sustainable employment.
Hackney integration: particular focus on
achieving parity between mental and
physical health services. Exploring a single
delivery organisation taking responsibility for
Hackney’s whole population, with combined
financial resources and a capitated budget.
North Central
London estates:
Aims to develop the
estate needed for
new models of care.
This will optimise
existing assets and
reinvest capital in
health and care
services which
support wider
benefits for local
communities.
83. Success and challenge: Health success
The partnerships outlined in these slides have achieved a huge amount since
2013 in London and are recognised as leading on prevention
The Mayor leads on the wider dimensions of health and is a major champion
on inequalities
Some population trends have improved and we expect this to continue
London is increasingly viewed internationally as getting serious about
population health
Some exciting developments have occurred – led by multiple sectors. This is
likely to continue
84. 1. A ‘do once for London’ approach with clear governance is more likely to have impact. London
health and care public sectors are working in this way with maturing partnerships.
2. Funding for prevention is meagre compared with treatment and care funding albeit return on
investment is very high compared with many clinical treatments. Nevertheless those working on
prevention have shown resilience and imagination in taking a range of work forward.
3. Some big challenges that require a system wide approach remain. These include:
o Child and adolescent obesity levels (but progress at earlier ages)
o Elements of mental ill health including the need for access to services
o Poor lifestyles (eg low physical activity levels, smoking in deprived communities)
o Early disability in adults especially those experiencing long term deprivation
Work in progress
85. Work in progress
1. Devolution is one of several approaches being used in the public sector in London to
accelerate progress on preventing ill health, modernising out of hospital
infrastructure, and integrating the service offers for those who have complex needs
requiring many care inputs.
2. Devolution has offered permission to innovate with the wider environment (for
example around schools, in high streets of deprived communities) to design health
considerations into place shaping
3. The financial cost of this work is minimised by ‘sweating assets’ for instance
complementary offers from partners, and seeking new sources of funding.
4. Prevention gaps identified for further consideration
o Londoners feeling enabled to look after themselves
o Digital solutions to the population
o Engagement of the population (including children) in regular ways in the future of their
health, their city

90. Next steps
• Networking drinks!
• Field trips to Croydon, Lewisham, and Finsbury Park
• Senior roundtables
• …and new FoL projects starting this autumn
Talk about some work we’ve been doing to make models of cities, and to use these models to build further tools that focus on health on top of.
3 key things – look at cities across scales – across systems – and to consider people
These all have technical impacts (outcomes)/about format
These are all aimed at making more walkable cities and encouraging active transport
Has health benefits, but we also think cities that are better for health outcoems are better for a whole range of other outcomes too.
IUMS
Interaction between systems
Can see how work in combination and each individually
Can see what it means for day to day life
Look at future growth of city and measure impacts
Example of Jeddah – access to centres (employment, pt, social infrastructure)
Display outputs however most useful – could be maps, could be graph – here profiling centres within 15 mins of every household
And this makes the city easier for everyone to use, but to link this to healthy streets - BMJ article talks about links between obesity and public transport use, if you can plan a city so that it is easier to use public transport than private car its going to help this.
Car dependency
Just from physical systems – correlates with census data on commute to work
Because have each system – streets, land use, density, public transport – can look at impact of changing each system
Different way of working – Exeter example – frailty, obesity etc
Impact on access to services
Split by mode
Add quality and capacity
Question then of who lives where
Where are highest risk populations
Include census data
Overlap access with deprivation
Example again in MK
Where is more car dependent
Where are there likely to be older, more lonely people?
If you cant change physical conditions, can you deliver services differently, or tailor policy to specific areas?
License taxis etc?

Helping the UK population eat a healthy diet is important given that diet is now one of the top causes of morbidity and mortality [Global Burden of Disease 2017] and one in five 5 year olds are overweight or obese and that this trend is not changed by the time children leave primary school when one in three are overweight or obese. And more adults (60%0 are now overweight or obese than of a healthy body mass index (BMI)
