Workshop Goals
The overall goals of the 1-day workshop are to improve understanding of the roles built environment policies and practices play in the prevention and treatment of obesity and to identify promising strategies in multiple sectors that can be scaled up to create more healthful and equitable environments. Built environment topics to be considered include urban planning and design, transportation systems, parks and recreation, and food systems.
The workshop will
- introduce attendees to evidence-based principles of designing built environments to support health and reduce the risk of obesity;
- describe examples of successful multisector strategies (policies, programs, projects, and public investments) that are creating health-promoting built environments;
- discuss approaches for ensuring that built environment strategies improve health equity and environmental justice;
- discuss strategies by which promising, effective, and equitable built environment strategies to improve health can be scaled up and institutionalized; and
- discuss who should be involved and next steps.
