The Place Standard Tool

The Place Standard

The Place Standard is a tool to structure conversations about local places. It helps us to think about the physical and social aspects of places, and the important relationships between them. The Place Standard Tool has relevant themes to inform the assessment of places and will allow us to identify specific issues for improvement. The themes have been carefully chosen based on evidence about their combined influence on our health and wellbeing.

Understanding what is good about a place now, and what could be better, can help us make good decisions and allow us to target resources where they are needed most. The Place Standard Tool can support the design and delivery of successful places, creating good-quality places where people want to live.
