[H+T--Friends] New Report: Blind Spots, How Unhealthy Corridors Harm Communities, and How to Fix Them

by Ed Christopher

The Urban Land Institute and Smart Growth America recently released a report examining unhealthy corridors, their prevalence and location, the conditions they share, and the impact they have on people’s lives. The report also explores the land use and transportation decisions that give rise to and perpetuate unhealthy corridors as well as opportunities to use policy and practice levers to shape them into something better. https://ia71z1oozio1p7cpp37o43o1-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads… The appendix for the report puts forth the methodology used to identify an unhealthy corridor, the sample of identified urban and suburban commercial arterials, compiled data to measure unhealthy corridor conditions and an explanation of each step in the process to quantify and rank the corridors. The appendix is a separate document. https://ia71z1oozio1p7cpp37o43o1-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads… -- Ed Christopher Transportation Planning Consultant 708-269-5237

Here are two key highlights: 1) We developed a nationally complete and consistent comprehensive database (http://urbandesign4health.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/RWJF_NED_500_Citie…) of built, natural, and social environment variables known to predict health and established a national walkability index (http://urbandesign4health.com/ud4h-establishes-the-national-walkability-ind…) for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Culture of Health. 2) We created and applied a National Public Health Assessment Model (NPHAM) for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (see: scenario-planning tools (http://urbandesign4health.com/projects/hia-plug-in-scenario-planning) ) that enables communities to predict chronic health outcomes and to monetize the health impact (http://urbandesign4health.com/projects/health-monetization-of-active-transp…) of transportation and land-use scenarios. Our team is eager in 2019 to build on our successes and continue to make strides in both research and practice and look forward to building upon existing and developing new collaborations going forward!
