Toolkit on Land Use & Health
Posted by on June 11, 2007
The Land Use & Health project is pleased to announce a newest publication Economic Development and Redevelopment: A Toolkit on Land Use & Health.
This toolkit is a primer for public health advocates who want to work with local government to stimulate the development of new food retail or to expand food access in low-income neighborhoods. You can download a free copy at http://www.healthyplanning.org.
Land Use and Health project staff is available to conduct trainings and provide technical assistance to public health advocates and local government officials. In many cases, these trainings are free of charge. We have a deep understanding of economic development and redevelopment processes, policies, and strategies, and we are particularly knowledgeable about how these tools can be used to address health disparities in low-income communities.
Visit the Land Use and Health website for more information about training and technical assistance and to sign up for our newsletter. You may also give us a call at (510) 302-3308. We look forward to hearing from you and consulting on your local land use and planning needs.
