The UK has some of the world’s best longitudinal data on individuals and their health but, in contrast, longitudinal data on built and physical environments are poor and hard to access for the non-expert. This matters because the environment is an important determinant of health. The MRC/CSO Social & Public Health Sciences Unit have developed an atlas of built and physical environment change from Ordnance Survey (OS) data but this is currently for Scotland only, offers a narrow range of environmental attributes and lacks ‘off-the-shelf’ measures of both environment and change which would make it more useful for the public, policy makers, planners and those evaluating the impacts of environmental interventions on health and health inequalities. The project aims to add to tools for population health improvement by collating, enhancing and sharing easy-to-use information capturing change in the built and physical environment over time, at fine spatial scale for the whole of Great Britain, in order to link data to changes in health and/or health-related behaviours and to evaluate the impacts of environmental interventions on health, behaviour and inequalities.

英国拥有一些世界上最好的关于个人及其健康的纵向数据，但相比之下，关于建筑和物理环境的纵向数据很差，非专业人士很难获得。这一点很重要，因为环境是健康的一个重要决定因素。MRC/公民社会组织社会和公共卫生科学股根据地形调查（OS）数据编制了一个建筑和物理环境变化地图集，但这目前仅适用于苏格兰，提供的环境属性范围狭窄，缺乏对环境和变化的“现成”措施，这将使其对公众、决策者、规划者和评估环境干预对健康和健康不平等的影响的人更有用。该项目旨在通过在整个大不列颠精细的空间尺度上整理、加强和共享易于使用的信息，增加改善人口健康的工具，以便将数据与健康和/或与健康有关的行为的变化联系起来，并评估环境干预对健康、行为和不平等的影响。
