aewell is an impact framework and service that shows how wellbeing flows from urban nature
Well-designed urban landscapes bring people closer to nature, promote happiness, health, and can reduce stress and inequalities.
Our impact assessment framework and toolkit build long-standing evidence on how your landscape designs, green spaces, and nature engagement activities can deliver health and wellbeing benefits to the local community in the short, medium, and long term.
The framework has been designed in partnership with the University of Surrey’s Environmental Psychology Research Group, and supported by Natural England, Innovate UK and the British Academy.
Methods
Our framework provides practical methods for data collection across the seven themes, including GIS analysis, expert site observations, environmental measurements and a unique multi-tier survey approach to capture short, medium and long-term changes in behaviour and wellbeing.
Platform
Our Aewell online survey platform provides a simple, easy-to-use way to gather local community insights across the tiered survey types, helping people reflect regularly on their nature experiences and support their local green spaces and initiatives.
On-going Assessment Cycle
We support project teams in evaluating impact using the framework and establishing a robust assessment cycle that captures baseline and post-intervention changes, tailored to a wide range of project scales and durations.
Impact Reporting
Our reporting brings together data insights, visualisations and people’s lived experiences to build a rich narrative of how projects deliver social value and improve wellbeing.

airmap is an online route planner, helping people choose nature-rich, healthier and calmer journeys
Experiencing calm, green-filled, and less polluted streets and pathways can boost wellbeing and increase the appeal of walking, cycling or wheeling.
Our web-app route planner uses our innovative data layers to optimise urban journeys to avoid areas of high pollution and increase time with greenery, helping people arrive at their destination feeling refreshed and restored. It enables Local Authorities and NGOs to provide a free-to-access route planner that helps people reduce air pollution exposure, improve their wellbeing and increase the appeal of active travel options in their area.
Airmap has been designed and built in partnership with our long-time partners, Go Jauntly, and supported by Southampton and Bristol City Councils.
Accessible Web-tool
We deliver Airmaps as a user-friendly, easy-to-access web-app that can be integrated into Local Authority or NGO websites and enables local people to have access to powerful data to understand the quality of their environment around them, and find their own bespoke A-to-B routes that encourage the appeal of choosing to walk, cycle and wheel.
Intelligent Routing Algorithm
Our unique environmental data layers inform the Go Jauntly routing algorithm to produce A-to-B routes that are optimised for lower air pollution and noise exposure, and increased experience of nature and greenery that can help people feel refreshed and restored.
Air Quality Predictive Modelling
Our innovative machine learning air quality model can produce accurate predictions of key air pollutants that affect health, down to a 15m resolution, enabling it to inform street-specific routing decisions.
Greenery & Environmental Mapping
We produce and compile green infrastructure and environmental layers, including noise, air quality, greenery, tree cover, blue and water elements, biodiversity and street networks to comprehensively map and display positive environmental conditions at a town, city or regional scale. We combine layers to form our bespoke Tranquil City Index, which maps the potential for a location to promote mental restoration.
Engagement Events
We host thought-provoking and fun walkshops that explore the benefits of active travel through the lens of improved health, wellbeing and environmental quality. Bring together members of the public, stakeholders and staff to explore how small changes to how we get from A to B can make a huge impact on wellbeing.
Impact Reporting
For each Airmap deployment, we produce seasonal impact reports that showcase usership, distance of journeys generated, and a summary of the environmental and wellbeing benefits offered to users, to support Local Authorities and NGO deliver on their objectives of increasing active travel, improving environmental quality, green space access and supporting healthier lives.
