Building Healthy Places Toolkit

The Building Healthy Places Toolkit: Strategies for Enhancing the Built Environment is a practical guide for real estate developers that expands on the growing practice of using health evidence to inform design thinking. The Center for Active Design acted as the expert content provider to ULI’s Building Healthy Places initiative, resulting in a toolkit that provides a series of design recommendations that are separated into three sections: physical activity, healthy food/drinking water, and healthy environment/social well-being. Building Healthy Places is the outcome of extensive research and literature reviews, ensuring that all proposed strategies are rooted in evidence or industry best practices.
