In this episode of The Health Equity Podcast, we’re joined by Dr. Lewis Elliott, Environmental Psychologist and Senior Lecturer at the University of Exeter, to explore the fascinating findings of the Blue Health Project - a pan-European research initiative examining the relationship between blue spaces (like rivers, lakes, and coastlines) and public health.
From mental wellbeing and community cohesion to urban planning and biodiversity, Dr. Elliott shares powerful insights on why water-rich environments aren’t just beautiful — they’re vital health assets. We dive into the science behind how these spaces affect mental health, how urban planners can incorporate them effectively, and why access for all matters. A must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of environment, equity, and health.
