Description:
A product of the Program on Health, Equity and Sustainability within the San Francisco Department of Public Health developed as part of the Eastern Neighborhoods Community Health Impact Assessment (ENCHIA) project.
More and more, inter-disciplinary research associates the "built environment" (i.e., land use, transportation systems and community design) with health outcomes and well-being at the population level. For example, healthful neighborhood conditions require adequate and good quality housing; access to public transit, schools, and parks; safe routes for pedestrians and bicyclists; meaningful and productive employment; unpolluted air, soil, and water; and, cooperation, trust, and civic participation.
These built environment factors are generally determined outside the institutional realm of public health, in the purview of Planning, Transportation, Housing and Economic Development agencies.
The Healthy Development Measurement Tool is comprised of a set of metrics to evaluate the extent to which land use plans, projects, or policies will advance human health. The Tool is organized into Seven Elements that comprise a Healthy City.
