Poster
Built Environment Institute VIII: Multiple Perspectives on Designing Healthy Futures
This session presents a number of perspectives on designing healthy communities including building and site design considerations, challenges faced with incorporating walking and biking as transportation options, integrating the built environment framework into public health practice, climate change and urban air pollution, land-use planning in public health, and the use of predicition modeling as a method to identify and improve low-quality housing.
Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this session, participants will gain a heightened awareness of several issues we face incorporating healthy design practices into community development projects; develop a better understanding of the relationship between the built environment and health impacts; identify constraints in the workplace that impede physical activity; understand the importance of street design in promoting safe walking environments for our children; and identify impacts of land-use planning on the public's health; and learn about the use of predicition modeling as a method to identify and improve low-quality housing..
