As councils and central government consider what cities of the future will look like, a new tool has been developed to map how various features of where we live influence public health.
While the index shows clear evidence that, on average, the most deprived areas of New Zealand often have access to health-constraining features, this finding is not universal. It also varies from place to place.
both have a decreasing number of health-promoting environments, with growing deprivation. However, there are remarkably more health-constraining places in Christchurch than in Wellington.This is only our first iteration of the index and we intend to add more features in the future. But we hope the data provided in the index can encourage important conversations to help us better understand how our cities are shaped.
We need to ask whether we really need that additional fast-food outlet or liquor store in the same neighborhood. We hope the index can help policy makers consider how to shape more health-friendly cities by regulating or adding the right features. After all, the protection and promotion of public health is a core responsibility of government and it should not be left to individuals, families or communities to create such changes.
