  • STRENGTHENING OUR KNOWLEDGE BASE

  • HEALTH AND THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT

  • Defining our terms

    PUBLIC HEALTH Public health is "the science and art of

    preventing disease, prolonging life

    and promoting health through the

    organized efforts and informed choices of

    society, organizations, public and private,

    communities and individuals." (1920, C.E.A

    Winslow) It is concerned with threats to the

    overall health of a community based

    on population health analysis.

    BUILT ENVIRONMENT The term built environment refers to

    the human-made surroundings that

    provide the setting for human

    activity, ranging in scale from personal

    shelter and buildings to neighborhoods

    and cities, and can often include their

    supporting infrastructure, such as

    water supply or energy networks.

    TRANSPORTATION Nearly half the U.S. population – 150 million baby boomers and their children – may be in the market for walkable, transit-oriented neighborhoods with smaller homes. Boomers are downsizing as their children leave home. [Brookings Institution, 2011]

  • Economic Value

    TRANSPORTATION Families living in walkable areas save $400 to $500 monthly in auto costs compared to those in auto-dependent communities. [Center for Neighborhood Technology & Surface Transp. Policy Project, 2000]

  • Economic Value

    TRANSPORTATION Reinvestment in existing infrastructure is less costly, reduces expenses and boosts profits over the short and long-term. [National Association of Local Government Environmental Professionals, 2004]

  • Economic Value

    TRANSPORTATION • Cost to purchase and install bike racks: $150 to

    300 each (parks two bikes) • Cost to purchase and install bike lockers: $1000

    to $4000 each (parks two bikes) • Cost to provide car parking space: $2200++

    surface lot, $12,500++ garage • Number of bike spaces in one car space: 10–12

  • Economic Value

    LIVABLE COMMUNITIES • People living in walkable neighborhoods

    trust neighbors more, participate in community projects and volunteer more than in non-walkable areas. This positive social aspect improves health and economic opportunities and leads to a higher quality of life. [University of New Hampshire, 2010]

  • Economic Value

    REAL ESTATE/PROPERTY VALUE Walkable office, retail, apartment and industrial properties command higher property values. On a 100 point scale, a 10 point increase in walkability increases property values by 5% to 8%, depending on property type. [Active Living Research. (2010). The Economic Benefits of Open Space, Recreation Facilities and Walkable Community Design Active Living Research. Active Living Research Synthesis.]

  • Economic Value

    REAL ESTATE/PROPERTY VALUE • As the density increases, the cost of

    developing each unit decreases, “with some estimates of the average savings around 32 percent.” [Levine J and Inam A. “The Market for Transportation–land Use Integration: Do Developers Want Smarter Growth than Regulations Allow?” Transportation, 31(4): 409–427, November 2004.]

  • Economic Value

    REAL ESTATE/PROPERTY VALUE • Homebuyers are willing to pay an average

    $20,000 to $34,000 premium for homes in pedestrian-friendly communities compared to similar houses in surrounding areas. [CEOs for Cities, 2009]

    RECREATION • Mountain bikers contribute an estimated $25

    million to the Fruita, Colorado economy—approximately 15 percent of the annual budget for the entire Mesa County. [LeCarner, T., 2011, "Fruita Fat Tire Fest: All About the Ride," Singletrack.com, 4 May 2011]

  • A Systems Issue

    Systems thinking is the ability to: • understand and deal with complexity • see the whole and the parts and how those

    parts are interacting to create the current level of performance.

    • Everything is connected to everything else.

    You can never do just one thing. • There are unintended consequences of our

    actions throughout the system. Roberts

  • What are some things we know about icebergs?

    A Systems Issue

  • A Systems Issue

    Look Systemically to Understand the Current Reality and for Solutions: • The easy way out usually leads back in. (If you

    settle for a superficial solution to a deeper problem, the problem will not go away or will come right back.) Fixes at the EVENTS level are usually temporary.

    • Small changes can produce big results, but the areas of highest leverage are often the least obvious.

    Meeting in a Box

    • A box or bag filled with all of the materials and instructions required for a person to host and facilitate a public input meeting for their friends and neighbors at a location of their own choice.

  • Meeting in a Box

    • Encourages participation from those who don’t have time, ability or desire to attend a traditional meeting.

    • Helps to ensure that more people’s voice are included.

    • Can reach broad audiences.

  • Walkability & Bikeability Assessments

    • Processes that involve the systematic gathering of data about environmental conditions (social, built and natural) that affect walking and bicycling.
