Urban spaces and their design are important for community wellbeing. A web-based urban planning tool, Envision Scenario Planner (ESP), developed by BBHTC researchers allows planners and decision makers to assess the impact that different urban designs, building typologies and open spaces will have on a range of environmental and social outcomes, for example, carbon emissions, water management, jobs and social amenities.
