Kieron Boyle is the Co-Founder and CEO of Impact on Urban Health, he and the team are committed to achieving health equity by helping urban areas become healthier places for everyone to live.
I really enjoyed this wide ranging chat with Kieron, in this episode we touch on the challenges faced by our capital and other UK cities from air pollution to childhood obesity and how Impact on Urban Health are working to change the health outlook for everyday city dwellers. We dive into the necessity for human centred design when tackling intractable and deeply rooted issues like these, and how keeping the community at the heart of the design process helps to deliver sustainable and realistic outcomes.
