Research
Alex Macmillan is a Professor in Environmental Health. She trained in Medicine and is a Public Health Physician. Her research focuses on the links between urban environments, sustainability and health. Her main interests are in translating evidence about sustainability and health into policy by bringing together policy, community and academic knowledge and modelling future policy options. Particular areas of interest are transport, urban planning and housing policies. Alex is also involved in community based epidemiological research to understand the impacts of changing urban environments. She is an honorary senior research associate at the Bartlett School of Graduate Studies, University College London.
Current research projects include:
- Te Ara Mua - Future Streets: An intervention study to make the streets of Mangere Central safer and more attractive for walking and cycling, and to study the effects on health and wellbeing.
- Integrated decision-making about housing, energy and wellbeing: Using participatory system dynamics modelling with over 30 different stakeholders in UK housing policy to understand the integrated costs and benefits of policies to decarbonise housing.
