Description

As chronic diseases like diabetes, asthma, and obesity continue to rise, research highlights a significant connection to the built environment. The way our cities and towns are designed plays a major role in these epidemic rates. For much of recent history, public health experts and community development planners have worked in isolation. This separation has resulted in many urban areas being described by advocates as places designed for disease. This book from the Community Development - Current Issues Series examines the relationship between urban planning and health outcomes. It addresses the need for better integration between the fields that influence our physical surroundings and those dedicated to public wellness. By looking at how the built environment affects community health, this text provides essential insights for professionals working in planning, public health, and urban development. It is a necessary resource for understanding how to move away from environments that promote illness and toward spaces that support better health for all residents.
