Results and Impact This lecture was given to first year Planning students. A core finding of the research was a need for more critical planning education for planners to challenge some of the stereotypical views about fat bodies evident in focus groups. This lecture was given to planning students at the University of Liverpool as a guest lecture on a 'neighbourhood planning' course. The lecture provided the students with a theoretical model to approach understandings of the body in relation to planning and used examples from this research to provide a case study of obesity/fatness in relation to planning.
