Healthy Community Design

Buildings, neighborhoods, and communities can be designed in a way that protects people's health. We work to help communities grow while protecting human health and the environment. We:

  • Review and approve plans for realty subdivision development, applying healthy community design principles
  • Provide educational and technical assistance to real estate developers
  • Ensure realty subdivision compliance with state and local codes
  • Provide tools and technical assistance for land development planning and mixed use area to reduce vehicle dependency and promote walkable communities
