Planning

The built environment of a community impacts the health of its citizens.  Planning for healthy communities includes consideration of the environment where we live and work and incorporates designs that support and encourage physical activity, healthy behaviors and access to healthy food.  Healthy community design can contribute to a reduction in injuries, improvements in air and water quality, and benefits to mental health and social cohesion.
