Thanks, Beth. Anyone interested in these subjects may also be interested in Tom
Sanchez' and my new book, discussed below.

Planning as if People Matter: Governing and Equity
By Marc Brenman and Tom Sanchez
Island Press
http://www.amazon.com/Planning-People-Matter-Governing-Metropolitan/dp/1610…
Editorial Reviews
“This is a direct and accessible guide for present and future planners and policymakers
who are deeply concerned about social equity. It is an ethical compass for those who face
the complexities and dilemmas that arise when working within and confronting a system
defined by deep racial and class divides.”
(Tom Angotti Professor of Urban Affairs & Planning at Hunter College/CUNY 20120528)
“A clarion call to the planning profession to place social justice and equity at the
center of our work. Rife with concrete recommendations regarding governance, public
participation, technology and the promise represented by the nation’s demographic shifts –
all within the context of a changing global context.”
(Chester Hartman Director of Research, Poverty & Race Research Action Council
20120528)
“Brenman and Sanchez present equity as both a critical social need and a complex
intellectual puzzle when applied to policy. Their book is a clear treatment of equity in
emerging policy settings like the internet, land use, gender and age politics and more.”
(Martin Wachs RAND Corporation, and former Director of the Institute of Transportation
Studies )
“An incisive analysis of the most urgent issue facing America: how to build a nation in
which all people can participate and prosper. This book is both a call to action and a
practical guide for infusing equity principles into planning and governance.”
(Angela Glover Blackwell Founder and CEO, PolicyLink, and co-author of Uncommon Common
Ground )

Subject: Re: [H+T--Friends] New report on pub. health + transp. planning
Good point Marc!
We worked on a report with TransForm for the California Department of Public Health that
does try to address those important issues.
"Creating Healthy Regional Transportation Plans: A Primer for California's Public
Health Community on Regional Transportation Plans and Sustainable Communities
Strategies"
http://transformca.org/resource/creating-healthy-regional-transportation-pl…
Its mostly focused on California but is hopefully interesting for others to read as well.
Feel free to contact me or Stuart Cohen from TransForm (cc-ed above) directly if you have
any questions.
Thanks,
Beth

It is fascinating and dismaying to me that a report like this can be written, with no
mention whatsoever of equity, environmental justice, disadvantaged people, discrimination,
health disparities, etc.

Subject: [H+T--Friends] New report on public health and transportation planning
A new report from the National Association of Regional Councils (NARC) m ight be of
interest to you and your networks:
NARC Report Released, Integrating Public Health and Transportation Planning: Perspectives
for MPOs and COGs:
NARC recently released a summary report of efforts made by metropolitan planning
organizations (MPOs) to integrate public health factors and considerations into their
transportation plans. Additionally, the report offers options through which an MPO can
work with its Council of Government (COG) to integrate non-transportation planning
activities into the transportation and public health discussion.
