This pandemic is a reminder that health is shaped by the design of where we live, work, travel, and play. The built environment of communities has taken on central importance, as we navigate the physical distancing measures of this #COVID19 moment.

While it is possible to overlook details like the layout of streets and the accessibility of green spaces where we can exercise and decompress, #COVID19 has highlighted how they are core to physical and mental health.

ICYMI, this was the focus of Urban Health, our recent book with @CatherineEttman and @david_vlahov. https://amzn.to/30ImvP7
