During 2020 UD4H accomplished a lot. We have worked with ground-breaking and innovative clients and some fantastic partner firms. We have created nationwide datasets <http://urbandesign4health.com/projects/sld-update> and continued work on the National Public Health Assessment Model (N-PHAM) <http://urbandesign4health.com/projects/hia-plug-in-scenario-planning> for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). We delivered the first suite of public space data <http://urbandesign4health.com/projects/public-life-equity-benefits-of-the-seattle-waterfront-redevelopment> for the Seattle Waterfront after the removal of the Alaskan Way Viaduct. We have published our original research results <https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0277953620304305> from a San Joaquin County Health Equity Study <http://urbandesign4health.com/projects/npham> in California. We, like many people, are looking forward to an even better 2021. UD4H, with its focus on health, environment, and equity, is ready to work with you as you plan, program, and design for the new normal.
