The design day, held at Friends House in Euston, brought together the Camden Clean Air Partnership. The partnership includes听local residents鈥� groups, schools, hospitals, businesses, construction companies, local councillors and cab drivers. This collective of diverse people are working together to co-design a new air quality plan for the borough, improving the borough and lives of those that live, work and study here.

Dr Celia Caulcott, 果冻影院 Vice-Provost (Enterprise), emphasised that a problem as complex as air pollution can't be tackled by any one group or organisation acting alone - it requires collaboration.

鈥淎ll universities听are positioned to think about challenging issues,鈥澨齭he said. 鈥淲e're part of this community and neighbourhood. We care very much about what happens in Camden and clean air is one of the things that matters to us. We're pleased to be involved in this incredibly important project.鈥�

During the design day, children from Netley Primary School gave a presentation on clean air projects they have been involved. 鈥淥ur health is in your hands,鈥� they told delegates, who later took part in a series of reflective sessions.

The day concluded with participants considering what actions their community or sector could take to improve the current situation.

It's anticipated that the action plan, which forms part of the council鈥檚 Camden 2025 agenda, will be in place within three to four months.

The meeting was听chaired by Professor Muki Haklay,听Professor of Geographic Information Science, and the director of 果冻影院 Extreme Citizen Science research group. As well as having a keen interest in environmental science, Muki created his own company based on sustainability, spun out of 果冻影院 by 果冻影院B. Mapping for Change aims to create positive, sustainable environment transformations for disadvantaged or marginalised communities.
