Even if no ‘ideal’ green network can be achieved, the example shows that good
results are possible. Therefore, an approach as pursued by Bloß (2016) could be
integrated into landscape planning, by adapting the method as well as the criteria for
the suitability assessment to the respective local conditions and requirements.
19.7 Conclusions and Outlook
This chapter has shown that health issues are already implicitly touched upon or, in
rare cases, explicitly named in landscape planning in England and Germany. In
general, the potentials for including health issues into landscape planning are used
neither frequently nor extensively, even if mutual benefits for health protection and
promotion on the one hand and nature conservation and green space development
on the other can be expected. One likely reason for this deficit is that to overcome it
would require additional efforts by landscape planners and the respective planning
and development authorities as well as by health authorities. There are some exam-
ples of recent attempts to overcome these disciplinary and professional silos, such
as the 2015 development of the Place Standard Tool (NHS Health Scotland 2017),
jointly promoted by the Scottish Government, the National Health Service, Scotland,
and Architecture and Design Scotland – the Government body responsible for
