Impact on Urban Health (IoUH) work on urban health problems in these inner-city London boroughs to make them healthier places to live. IoUH are running a ten-year programme to explore how poor air quality affects people’s health. They are in the ‘develop’ phase of the programme, focusing on building evidence and refining the problem by funding projects that:<ul><li>Create a compelling case for change by layering different types of data</li><li>Engage and amplify the voices of those most impacted by air quality</li><li>Reduce exposure to air pollution in environments where people spend their time</li><li>Work with businesses to find equitable solutions to reducing emissions</li></ul><a href="https://uk.steergroup.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">S﻿teer</a> will be presenting on the Rail Freight at Stations Feasibility Study.

Rachael Aldridge, Communications Project Manager, Cross River PartnershipImpact on Urban Health: The places that we grow up, live and work impact how healthy we are. Urban areas, like inner-city London, have some of the most extreme health outcomes. Alongside their vibrancy and diversity sit stark health inequalities. At Impact on Urban Health, we want to change this. We believe that we can remove obstacles to good health, by making urban areas healthier places for everyone to live.S﻿teer is a global business consultancy working across cities, infrastructure and transport.Cross River Partnership: CRP is a partnership delivering environmental, economic and community-focused projects.
