It’s not all about • Health, Wealth & Happiness
Yes Health & Happiness are important • but wealth (GDP measure) is less so
NEIGHBOURHOOD
NEIGHBOURHOOD

Lots of positives • Core ‘well-being’ elements, additional
Green elements & other urban elements
But also lots of negatives • Far more polarised, and conflictual less in
our personal control, so more stressful
