The document discusses transformative place making for neighborhoods, housing, and health. It describes a moderated discussion with leaders from organizations focused on strategic engagement, metropolitan planning, and walkability. The goals are to raise awareness of health impacts, define an approach, explore the value proposition, and advance practice and policy. Healthy places support well-being by providing stable and affordable housing, transportation options, access to foods and nature, and thoughtful design that makes healthy choices easy. Members and others can lead by incorporating health in projects and influencing policy. Examples of initiatives include Colorado advisory panels providing seed funding to ULI chapters for local health challenges.
