Healthy community design is planning and designing communities that make it easier for people to live healthy lives. Healthy community design offers important benefits: * Decreases dependence on the automobile by building homes, businesses, schools, churches and parks closer to each other so that people can more easily walk or bike between them. * Provides opportunities for people to be physically active and socially engaged as part of their daily routine, improving the physical and mental health of its citizens. * Allows persons, if they choose, to age in place and remain all their lives in a community that reflects their changing lifestyles and changing physical capabilities.
