order to increase the capacity of professional planners and planning departments to address today’s public health issues this cooperative agreement will develop strategies and initiatives designed to provide evidence based guidance that planning professionals can use to create health promoting communities. It is expected that tools, techniques, and information needed for health considerations to be an explicit component in comprehensive plans, development regulations, planning process, capital budgets, transportation, and land use planning will be identified and created. Communications plans for agreed upon initiatives are recommended.
