B. Community Design - Built Environment
The opportunities for children, adolescents and teens to be physically active in the course of their daily routines are determined by the quality of the built environment in their neighborhoods, the location of their school relative to where they live, their proximity to open space and parks, and the design and condition of the streets and sidewalks that they use to get themselves where they want or need to go. This session will provide practical advice to local communities, health professionals, urban planners, school boards, and other participants in the land-use policy and planning process on what modifications can be made to the built environment where kids walk, bike, and play that can enhance their ability and likelihood of being physically active while staying safe at the same time.
