The Streets for Health website is run by Dr Kirsty Wild. I am an environmental sociologist: I trained in both sociology and ecology; and I work in public health.  I have a particular interest in healthy environments: natural and built environments that enhance physical and mental wellbeing.    I am a Senior Research Fellow in the School of Population Health, University of Auckland; and I have worked with community organisations, universities, government agencies, and the World Health Organization on a range of projects related to transport; healthy neighbourhoods; sustainable food systems; pandemic resilience; and climate change.
