16:10 uur – panel discussion with the attendees about two topics:
- So far, little has been done about health in urban development because there are standards that indicate what is healthy and what is not (protection of health). As long as we are below the standard, it is fine and if we are above it is completely wrong. Or in other words we hide behind the norm and do nothing else. However, when it comes to the protection of health, we can do it at most less badly (less sound, less fine dust, etc.). My position is that we have to get away from hiding behind the norms and have to start with a positive approach in which the health of people is promoted (Jos Schild)
- Comfort is not a business case, but decrease in sickness absence: would a healthy home positively influence your career and your salary?
- Tot nog toe wordt weinig gedaan aan gezondheid bij stedelijke ontwikkeling omdat er normen zijn die aangeven wat gezond is en wat niet (bescherming van gezondheid). Zolang we onder de norm zitten, is ’t prima en als we er boven zitten gaat het helemaal mis. Of anders gezegd we verschuilen ons achter de norm en doen verder niets. Echter, als het om de bescherming van gezondheid gaat, kunnen we het hooguit minder slecht doen (mindergeluid, minder fijnstof etc.). Mijn stelling is dat we af moeten van het verstoppen achter de normen en aan de slag moeten met een positieve benadering waarin de gezondheid van mensen bevorderd wordt (Jos Schild)
- Comfort is geen business case, afname van ziekteverzuim wel: zou een gezonde woning je loopbaan en je salaris positief beïnvloeden?
