Learn some of the latest research on how walkability affects health. Join leading health and walkability researcher Dr. Lawrence Frank, Professor at UC San Diego and President of Urban Design 4 Health (UD4H) on the elements of land use and street design that lead to people walking more, and what that means for addressing chronic disease. Dr. Frank will show new results from the application of the National Public Health Assessment Model in a few regions of the nation with both transportation and health based users. He will be joined by planners who have used research on health impacts to influence regional and local transportation planning and within public health. Next steps for these tools and their application will be discussed. Recent advancements have included the incorporation of “complete-street” pedestrian design features captured through AI driven tools using digital images.
