"Make it Monday" forum - Community Design for the Triple Bottom Line: Economic, Environmental, and Public Health
Health professionals tell us it’s clear that Americans must be more physically active, but it’s also very clear that simply telling people to exercise is not working. Health promoters increasingly reach out to planners, engineers, and economic development officials and chambers of commerce as allies in the effort to create “healthier” communities by design. In this thought-provoking and entertaining discussion Mark Fenton will explore how contemporary planning and design actually impacts public health. And he’ll share intriguing evidence that the best practical approaches actually boost economic vibrancy – not just through physical activity and reduced health care costs, but much more systemic benefits such as enhanced quality of life; increased economic access, activity, and “critical mass;” business and employee recruitment and retention; and reduced transportation congestion and costs. And he’ll share a handful of practical lessons from over two decades of simply trying to get people to walk and bicycle more!
