Conclusion (the committee's words)
Poorly designed built environments prevent older people from being able to leave their homes and actively participate in their communities. By embedding principles that promote physical activity into planning guidance, the government can ensure the creation of healthy places that support people to age well. (Conclusion, Paragraph 79)
