Investigating City Commitments to 100% Renewable Energy
A number of United States (U.S.) cities are proposing and implementing bold sustainable solutions in order to combat
the social, environmental, and economic impacts of climate change. Cities of all sizes around the country are taking
control by pledging to reach community-wide goals of 100% renewable energy. However, many of these cities are
unsure of how to meet these commitments. Although the renewable energy potential throughout the U.S. is strong,
cities are facing other types of challenges that are hindering their ability to progress swiftly to meet the commitment.
Household Water Security in Metropolitan Detroit: Measuring the Affordability...
This document summarizes a study on water affordability for low-income residents in the Detroit metropolitan region. The study found that water is unaffordable for many, with average households paying 10% of their income on water bills compared to the recommended 4.5%. Lower income households pay over 13% of income on water. Assistance programs help but do not fully close the affordability gap of $45.08 per month. Many residents cut back on other essentials to pay water bills and have accumulated debt. The conclusions are that water is a regional affordability issue, assistance does not reach all in need, and affordability gaps remain even for those receiving assistance.

This document summarizes a regional rural transportation plan for central Florida. It describes the planning process that was used to develop comprehensive goals and strategies around promoting mobility, economic development, and coordination across the region. Key aspects of the plan include coordinating existing transportation services, identifying priority new route connections, and establishing a regional governance structure to pursue funding opportunities and ensure ongoing collaboration between stakeholders. The overall goal is to optimize rural mobility across the multi-county area.
RV 2015: Back to the Future: Considering Health (Again) in Project Developmen...
Two centuries ago, the synergies between the development of cities and public health were evident -- even lifesaving: Better infrastructure prevented infectious diseases. Land use ordinances protected citizens from hazardous industrial exposures. During the 20th century, the disciplines drifted apart. Today health has, once again, become an extremely important element in building livable communities. How can you measure how your project impacts the health of a community? Health impact assessments (HIAs) are innovative tools. Learn how to incorporate an HIA into your existing decision-making processes, increase interdepartmental collaboration and strengthen community engagement initiatives. In addition, gain usable experience from two HIA case studies in Florida and Minnesota: a transit alternatives analysis and a station area plan.

Over the past decade, cycling in New York City has increased significantly but bicycle fatalities have remained fairly constant, indicating cycling has become safer. A study by Transportation Alternatives found that nearly 40% of drivers ignore the 30 mph speed limit on city streets, posing risks to pedestrians and cyclists. The livable streets movement advocating for policies like pedestrianized streets and parking reductions has become a political force in the city.
Growing health concerns in cities _India Dr Jena
Urban areas in India are experiencing growing health concerns, especially among the urban poor. Chronic diseases like heart disease, respiratory illnesses, and diabetes are more prevalent in urban communities compared to rural areas. Injuries and accidents from road traffic are also higher in cities. Growing motorization and lack of infrastructure are contributing to increased road traffic injuries and deaths. Managing health emergencies is challenging in urban populations due to issues like lack of data, environmental factors, and limited access to services for at-risk groups like the urban poor.
Policy and Systems Change (WKKF)
This document discusses policy and systems change. It defines policy as rules that govern organizations and public funds allocated by government. Policy change occurs through new or amended policies. Systems are groups of interrelated elements that form a unified whole, like a food or transportation system. Systems change happens when elements in a system substantially change, altering their relationships and overall structure. Policy change is a key driver of systems change. The document provides examples of public policy changes in different jurisdictions that helped achieve systems changes, like Portland's policies that supported a three-fold increase in bicycling.

It argues that general plans can significantly impact community health through policies that influence land use, transportation, access to healthy foods and parks, and air/water quality. The document provides examples of how to create partnerships with health organizations, analyze health and built environment data, engage the public, and develop plan elements and policies focused on creating walkable communities, complete streets, mixed-use development, access to healthy foods and healthcare, and environmental quality. The goal is to make public health an integral part of long-term community planning and development decisions.
Active Travel Perspectives—Robin Tucker | 24 Nov 2020
This document discusses the impacts of transportation on public health and the environment in the UK. It notes that transportation is a major contributor to air pollution, physical inactivity, road casualties, and climate change. While electric and autonomous vehicles may reduce some impacts, they could also enable more vehicle trips and congestion if not accompanied by policies supporting active transportation. The document argues that active transportation like cycling has benefits in addressing many transportation-related issues and that the UK needs improved infrastructure, policies, and investments to support cycling at levels seen in other countries like the Netherlands.

Effective Strategies for Shifting Behaviors, Presentation 1
This document summarizes efforts over the past 15 years to promote active transportation like walking, biking, and transit in the Nashville, TN region. It describes the formation of advocacy groups in the late 1990s and early 2000s that helped increase funding for sidewalks, bike lanes, and greenways. Surveys showed residents prefer improving transit and walkability over road expansion. As a result, the region's transportation plan now allocates more funding to active transportation and includes sidewalks and bike lanes in most road projects. Partnerships across different levels of government and ongoing education efforts aim to continue progress.
Effective Strategies for Shifting Behaviors

City of Lewiston - GSMSummit 2014, Ed Barrett
The city of Lewiston, Maine has successfully transitioned from an economy based on manufacturing to a more diverse one through sustained efforts over many years. It was once a thriving manufacturing center with Bates Mill as the largest private employer in the state, but faced decline in the 1960s as textile industry moved south. However, nearly $500 million in public and private investment over the past decade redeveloped mill complexes and improved infrastructure, supporting growth in healthcare, education, and other sectors. The city has engaged the public and formed partnerships to create plans that redefine spaces and pursue economic development, housing, and quality of life initiatives with a vision for continued renewal.
