Understanding the Basics of Land Use and Planning: A Guide to Planning Healthy Neighborhoods
To assist local officials with addressing health issues as they relate to the built environment, the Institute for Local Government recently released the latest in its series of “Local Government 101” materials: Understanding the Basics of Land Use and Planning: Guide to Planning Healthy Neighborhoods.
Understanding the Basics of Land Use and Planning: Guide to Planning Healthy Neighborhoods identifies the reasons to be concerned about the relationship between health and the built environment, offers options for transforming that concern into a vision for a healthier community, and provides strategies and examples of how to translate that vision into action. A separate two-page binder tab provides tips to help local officials consider which strategies and resources for planning healthy neighborhoods best fit the situation in their particular neighborhood or community.
For those who want additional information, the publication includes resources for further information, legal citations, and references to materials on the Institute’s website. The publication also has an index.
This resource would not be possible without the generous support of The California Endowment.

The Institute makes this publication available several ways:
