A few days ago an article ran in the NY Times by Jane Brody about the
Built Environment and Health Linkages.
http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/30/communities-learn-the-good-life-ca…
As a result a colleague of mine was looking to identify some "good"
research on the topic of cause-and-effect of Urban Form on Health.
Given the depth of expertise on this list I thought I would toss the
question out to the group.
Thanks
