Abstract
Health and wealth have long gone hand in hand. A healthy community is one that is more productive, and a community with more wealth is healthier and enjoys more years of healthy life. Rather than further decimating our high streets as we emerge from COVID-19, we believe creating multi-functional, ‘destination’ high streets and town centres that have a focus on health, both in terms of creation and treatment, will lead to thriving places that create economic, social and health value for local communities.
