Tackling Root Causes Upstream of Unhealthy Urban Development (TRUUD)

Lead Research Organisation: University of Bristol
Department Name: Social Medicine

Abstract

Our overarching research question is: How might prevention of risk factors causing Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) be considered and fully incorporated into urban planning and development in the UK?

Context: Poor quality urban environments are important contributors to Non-Communicable Diseases such as lung and heart disease, diabetes and mental health problems. This is because they are associated with critical risk factors - including air pollution, noise, lack of physical activity, lack of green space, and obesity. Therefore, one way of preventing these future major chronic health problems is to go "upstream" and improve the urban environment so that it encourages healthy behaviours and reduces adverse risks. However, urban planning and development is a complex system of actors and processes operating over multiple layers of governance. . The driving force in urban planning and development are now the large private sector actors, particularly landowners, investors and developers. Narrow valuation mechanisms and short-term horizons are a central challenge as they do not factor in long-term health. Urban planning faces "super wicked" problems too - where "those who are in the best position to address the problem are not only those who caused it, but also those with the least immediate incentive to act".

Researching these complex systems requires: consideration of whole and interconnected systems; clear visualisation and analysis; effective engagement and 'co-production' with a wide range of stakeholders, including public, private, third sector as well academia and the lay public.

Applications: We aim to transform urban planning and development systems so that health and health inequalities are valued and integrated at each of the main roots of core decision-making. We will develop with urban development decision-makers at city, combined authority and national level interventions and methods for realigning the system for healthier public and private sector operations. The intervention has three components: evidence of health impact including economic valuation; opportunities for change; community-led creative arts media communicating health inequalities. We will identify the best leverage points for introducing the intervention.

We anticipate a range of applications for the evidence and associated tools. They will provide measurable evidence of health impacts to be used in multiple ways including: local and national planning policy; local development management and planning permissions; cost-benefit analysis on infrastructure and other investment decision-making; and policy or legal mechanisms for re-aligning corporate governance towards long-term health outcomes. For example, we will seek to influence and introduce evidence on health impacts of urban planning into the Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment, which determines what land is to be developed.

Beneficiaries: The beneficiaries of this kind of whole system approach include: a) decision-makers by improving the quality of what they offer (e.g. local government will benefit politically by evidencing societal benefit; progressive investors and developers gain commercially by differentiating their 'product'); b) in the medium to longer term, urban and rural populations should be positively affected by better urban environments (e.g. reduced air pollution, better quality green infrastructure, improved physical environment); and c) taxpayers and central government over the long term due to decreased health burden on the NHS and increased levels of productivity.

Technical Summary

There is a clear need to address the quality of urban environments and developments to prevent risk factors (air pollution, noise, lack of green space, physical inactivity, obesogenic food 'deserts) that cause Non-Communicable Diseases.
Our vision is of urban development systems where health is a priority for those who make the key decisions, focusing in particular on control of land, finance and the development process.
Our primary objectives are to: (WP1) map and understand urban systems; (WP2) develop and model the health impacts resulting from changes in decision-making; (WP3) co-produce the intervention and assess corporate governance models; (WP4) develop meaningful and effective ways of involving the lay public in upstream decision making; (WP5) conduct extensive knowledge exchange through workshops, conferences, films, and images and community practitioners; (WP6) develop a meta-research evaluation framework.
Theory of change: By co-producing evidence and ways of integrating health at key tipping points in the planning process - we expect to change attitudes, decisions, and behaviours in the short-term and change policies, practice, adoption of project outputs (medium to long term).
Lines of research and methods: Transdisciplinary research utilizing multiple methods from social science, law, management, systems engineering, and health economics. We will collect qualitative data; co-produce interventions; and undertake actor/network/socio-legal analysis, corporate characterization, and systems mapping and problem structuring.
Plans for user engagement We will undertake multiple focus groups, four annual workshops and three industry workshops, and embed two full time researchers at our partner city and combined authority.
Applications: The evidence and associated tools on valuing health will be applied in local development management; local and national cost-benefit analysis on infrastructure and other investment decision-making.

This grant is funded by the UK Prevention Research Partnership (UKPRP) which is administered by the Medical Research Council on behalf of the UKPRP's 12 funding partners: British Heart Foundation; Cancer Research UK; Chief Scientist Office of the Scottish Government Health and Social Care Directorates; Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council; Economic and Social Research Council; Health and Social Care Research and Development Division, Welsh Government; Health and Social Care Public Health Agency, Northern Ireland; Medical Research Council; Natural Environment Research Council; National Institute for Health Research; The Health Foundation; The Wellcome Trust.

Planned Impact

Our proposal is based fundamentally on co-production. We will undertake three rounds of data gathering and testing of a three component intervention involving >200 interviews and 18 focus groups. We will ensure substantial lay public engagement via training provision, membership on our External Advisory Board, and production of community-led creative media. We plan four large annual stakeholder conferences, three industry conferences and targeted engagement with Parliamentarians through relevant All Parliamentary Party Groups (APPGs): e.g. Corporate Governance; Future Generations; Health in all Policies; Housing and Planning; Land Value Capture; New Towns. We also propose to embed researchers within two significant case study urban regions, both of which are members in the Core Cities network, which represents the nine largest cities in the UK. Our industry workshops will be co-delivered and outputs co-authored with four of the UK's most active industry and professional membership bodies in real estate, planning, and sustainable building construction. Our research team brings together a wide range of disciplines through active and newly collaborative partnerships and will result in new methods being developed and adopted.

Our research team already has well-established relationships with key institutions across the urban development systems, as shown by our letters of support. These include local governments, national government, industry membership bodies, professional membership bodies, private sector investors and developers and major consultancies, agents, NGOs and think tanks. We will continue to build relationships with users and expect user engagement will evolve as new opportunities emerge. Using our established contacts, our research proposal has been developed through an intensive programme of meetings with cabinet members, officers, developer/investor partners and a range of key industry and professional membership bodies.

The beneficiaries of our approach will include: a) key decision-makers improving the quality of what they offer (e.g. local government benefit politically by evidencing societal benefit; progressive investors and developers gain commercially by differentiating their 'product'); b) in the medium to longer term, urban and rural populations should be positively affected by better urban environments (e.g. reduced air pollution, better quality green infrastructure, improved housing); and c) taxpayers and central government over the long term due to decreased health burden on the NHS and increased levels of productivity, which is the primary focus of the current Industrial Strategy).

Our focus on 'root-cause' decision-making far upstream ensures population-level interventions that are large-scale, generalisable and implementable, and the focus on valuation and co-production should ensure their efficacy and adoption. It is via these combined activities that: a) users will have excellent understanding of and access to researchers; b) our findings will be communicated very widely across a range of real world practitioners; c) our research will be mutually beneficial to policy-makers and implementers and d) will have significantly increased visibility.

Our goal is that evidence on health impacts will be incorporated into decision-makers thinking and consideration for urban planning and development. We will evaluate this during the award period -and should our research strategy and impact plan prove effective, investment in activities that impact on NCD prevention will follow.

We have intentionally recruited senior experts and representatives from across the UK's city regions and devolved nations so that we can understand how impactful solutions could be delivered at scale across the UK, and exploring this will be a central part of our impact planning and testing.

Title Frome Gateway video series 
Description TRUUD made a series of eight short films to support a major regeneration framework and its consultation. The Frome Gateway regeneration will see the transformation of a semi-industrial area, by the M32, containing a river and park in the approach to Bristol City Centre. Researcher-in-residence, Anna Le Gouais from the University of Bristol, worked with Bristol City Council and TRUUD colleagues to feed in health evidence during development of the framework. She also led a Health Impact Assessment (HIA) which highlights health and wellbeing impacts of urban development. In response to feedback from previous public engagement we created this suite of films with the team at the University of the West of England, explaining the regeneration framework and addressing specific questions. The films were viewed through the project website, the council's YouTube channel and at community engagement events.

Title:
In control of the law: power asymmetries among actors in urban development and their ability to control the legal determinants of health

Abstract:
This seminar presents an empirical analysis conducted within a transdisciplinary project (TRUUD) that focuses on upstream causes, within complex systems, of (un)healthy urban environments. Through this project, we explore the dynamics between the commercial, legal, and political within the social determinants of health. Our argument specifically aims to broaden and deepen how the legal determinants of health are understood and represented in public health and urban planning discourses, practice, and policy-making and implementation.
We analysed data from interviews with public and private stakeholders in urban planning to understand their perceptions and beliefs about the law, and how they might use it as a tool of power, which in turn impacts health outcomes. Our findings highlight two particularly important practical considerations as agendas develop about the incorporation of legal research and practice within public health. First, whilst political determinants are more overtly engaged in analysis of (public health) laws, greater emphasis needs to be given to commercial determinants of legal determinants, even within the decision-making of public authorities. Secondly, this has significant consequences for ideas and strategies of how legal expertise and understanding may be operationalised within relevant workforces if the power of law is effectively going to be harnessed for better, fairer health outcomes within and across society.

Primary Audience Professional Practitioners
Results and Impact Research collaborations generate many challenges, such as overcoming disciplinary silos and integrating assumptions, ideas and knowledge. The UKPRP funded 'Tackling the Root causes Upstream of Unhealthy Urban Development' (TRUUD) consortium aims to prioritise health in urban decision-making processes in the UK. The project spans five university cities and multiple disciplines, sectors and publics. To maximise the efficiency of inter/trans-disciplinary working, a parallel, and complementary, work stream of meta-research evaluation is ongoing, which aligns with TRUUD's main phases of work. This research-on-research combines online interviews and workshops with situational and network analysis, and a critical systems approach, studying the research activities in relation to healthy systems criteria. The approach relies upon co-producing analysis and results in collaboration with the research team and aims to determine any course corrections that may be needed to keep TRUUD on track. We are approaching the end of the first phase of research and would like to share our initial insights and challenges in a short film comprising mappings and diagrams, with an accompanying 'live' online whiteboard (Miro) for encouraging refection and feedback from other delegates.

Form Of Engagement Activity A formal working group, expert panel or dialogue
Part Of Official Scheme? No
Geographic Reach Regional
Primary Audience Professional Practitioners
Results and Impact The four specific aims of this 'reflecting-on-research' theme are:

1. To exchange knowledge and diagnose the challenges facing researchers conducting inter- and transdisciplinary research1 across the portfolio of UKPRP projects.

2. To review and evaluate steps UKPRP projects are taking to continually improve their inter- and transdisciplinary research practice, whether conducting network development, stakeholder engagement, co-production and impact realisation.

3. To enhance the outcomes of UKPRP research by sharing continual improvement know-how generated across the portfolio of participating projects.

4. To document findings in a 'playbook' of research practice improvement as a knowledge base for future researchers, planners, managers, and funders.

UKPRP supports novel inter/transdisciplinary research (I/TDR) for a portfolio of projects targeted at the primary prevention of non-communicable diseases for a range of complex political, socio-economic and technical contexts. These research collaborations throw up many challenges, such as overcoming disciplinary, institutional, and geographical silos and integrating ideas and knowledge. This development theme will explore what makes 'good' inter/trans-disciplinary research and provide an opportunity for collaborators from across the UKPRP community to share experiences and collaboratively reflect on the extent to which UKPRP research teams are able to improve research efficiency and effectiveness. It will address questions such as:

1. What barriers are there to effective multi-sector, I/TDR?

2. How do we know we are doing I/TDR well?

3. What techniques and approaches are researchers using to facilitate disciplinary, stakeholder, institutional and geographical 'boundary spanning' and knowledge integration?

4. What degree of disciplinary/knowledge integration is most useful and when?

5. How can we evaluate our research and develop action plans for continual improvement?

It is important to be realistic, and acknowledge that there is a risk that, at the present stage in the consortia and network projects, that it will only be possible to surface the principal research issues, barriers and challenges in delivering the UKPRP inter- and transdisciplinary research projects. In this scenario, the added value will accrue from disseminating a better understanding of inter- and transdisciplinary research barriers and challenge
