Through research of best practice and stakeholder engagement, we identified six Healthy City ‘Pillars’.

Each of these ‘pillars’ have their own respective goals, and are supported by a series of ‘assets’, the unique building blocks that promote healthier neighbourhoods and collectively, a healthier St John’s.

The infographic shows how each of the pillars and assets fit together to support a healthy city.
