promoting policy on architecture and ‘place’. The intersectoral public health action
plan (Fachplan Gesundheit), promoted by the North Rhine-Westphalia Centre for
Health since 2009, is intended for use by the public health sector in optimizing par-
ticipation in the municipal policy and planning cycle (Claßen and Mekel 2017).
Additionally, the ‘Leitfaden Gesunde Stadt’, an adopted version of the Healthy
Urban Development Checklist of New South Wales (NSW 2009), has been pub-
lished for use by local and regional public health and planning authorities
(Landeszentrum Gesundheit NRW 2016). However, the results of the implementa-
tion of such guidelines and policies, and the linking of EIA and HIA in England,
remain to be seen. In the absence of such evidence, we argue for the importance of
these efforts because, if landscape planning is to have a socially acknowledged role
in the face of rapidly changing natural, technological and political conditions and
global grand challenges such as climate change, urbanization, health inequity and
an ageing population, it must tackle key societal problems. This position is sup-
ported by a variety of publications by governmental bodies, scientists and NGOs. It
remains to be seen if and how they will affect landscape planning in the mid- and
long-term perspective.
