Her contributions have been to identify the complexity of making healthier and more sustainable places and developing new ways of assessing those environments. She has examined how (much) the physical environment and urban planning can improve health and well-being, evaluated innovative planning and design in new towns and suburbs, and critiqued planning education and theory. She has undertaken research, developed evidence-based guidance, undertaken innovative practice, and developed new planning and measurement tools.
