Editor's Notes
- -APA, Plan4Health, APHA Logos Presentation Notes: While the program focuses on institutionalizing relationships and improving capacity of planners and public health professionals to tackle these issues, the real goal is reducing the incidence of chronic disease.
- In 2015, in partnership with the CCAPA, EHHD was awarded Plan4Health grant by the APA and APHA Plan4Health grant funded the creation of a toolkit to help Planning and Zoning Commissions in small communities understand: How their actions can impact long-term public health Provide resources to help build capacity in linking planning policy to public health outcomes
- -Talk about long history of planning/public health relationships -Public health impacts of development patterns pre-zoning; public health impacts of development patterns post zoning/use separation/mid-century suburban model -Larger framework-how can planning policies positively impact public health - If you are worried about filling time, do you want to add the video (The Saga Sister Public Health and Brother Planning?) Can we download it from youtube so we don’t have to worry about the internet/wifi connection?

- The new American Dream – 1950s (Levittown, PA)
- What's old is new again - 1990s saw a return to traditional design. As planners, we have tended to focus on the positive design impacts of traditional neighborhood design, but these types of land use patterns also support and encourage more active lifestyles
- How does this apply to small and rural communities? While small towns are not as dense as cities, most developed in similar patterns, clusters of housing and industry, either farming or manufacturing
- Think outside the box. While sidewalks may not be desired or appropriate in all areas, small towns and rural communities offer other opportunities. -trails, blueways (canoing, kayaking), large open space areas. We also have the easiest access to local foods. Policies and regulations that support local agriculture, encourage connectivity of open space, trail linkages, etc. all contribute to the greater health of the community.
- Land use regulations can also encourage or require more clustered development to both preserve open space and create a sense of place/neighborhood feeling.
