Nicholas Boys Smith is founder of CreateStreets, an organisation that exists to help solve the housing crisis and that aims to help actors such as developers, landowners, councils and neighbourhoods to create more beautiful, sustainable places. The places that CreateStreets envisions are of gentle density, popular, and with high probability correlated with good wellbeing and public health outcomes. With a great body of research, CreateStreets can make a strong case for the benefits of these places and has actually achieved considerable impact in the UK.
