Healthy streets for people, not just cars, says UK public health expert taking pulse of Perth streets

Perth's streets are failing to "meet people's basic needs" according to the architect of a world-renowned transport strategy. 

UK public health and transport expert Lucy Saunders founded the Healthy Streets framework that puts health and people at the heart of city planning. 

Ms Saunders was in Perth to hold workshops about the framework, which has been adopted in London in the Lord Mayor's 25-year Transport Strategy, and included staff from Main Roads WA, the Department of Planning, the WA Local Government Association, and the Public Transport Authority.
