Built Environment Approaches for Improving Community Health
May 9, 1:30 p.m.-2:30 p.m. Eastern
The built environment - our neighborhoods and communities where we live,
learn, work and play - has an impact on physical activity levels, access
to healthy food, transportation behaviors and, ultimately, health
outcomes. This APHA webinar will feature two counties that have taken
different approaches to changing the built environment around them in
order to improve the health of their communities. Public health and
development officials from Kane County, Ill., will describe their model
for collaborative public policy planning and implementation and discuss
the implementation of their 2040 Master Plan, which fully integrates
public health into land use and transportation decisions.
Representatives from Manatee County Health Department in Florida will
discuss the development of a Complete Streets policy to reduce
pedestrian and bicycling injuries and increase opportunities for biking
and walking.
