• Description:
  The physical design of our communities can improve or worsen our health. CDC’s Built Environment and Health Initiative (BEHI) focuses on the relationship between the built environment and several serious health conditions. This initiative (also known as the Healthy Community Design Initiative) gives state and local governments the knowledge and tools needed to make planning and transportation decisions that protect American lives and reduce healthcare costs. CDC’s Built Environment and Health Initiative is the only federal program whose primary purpose is to improve the health of all Americans through evidence-based changes to the built environment.
