"This comprehensive, beautifully edited volume explains why and how our physical environment profoundly affects each of us, our family, our community, and our nation. A treasure of excellent chapters by well-respected experts, it is replete with practical wisdom on how to diagnose and ameliorate the wide range of environmental problems, with inspiring examples of success. Reading it is the equivalent of a top tier graduate level course in practical environmental health."
(Jonathan Fielding, MD, MPH Professor of Health Services and Pediatrics, UCLA and Director of Public Health 20110512)
“The authors have crafted an exemplary look at the various components of community design that promote and support health. Through their perspective we see clearly how much community design matters to our health and well-being; and it matters a lot.”
(Georges C. Benjamin, MD Executive Director, American Public Health Association )
“The editors of this powerful volume put design squarely in the public health armamentarium. Both a guide and call to action, its well-researched chapters provide a foundation for profound change in design practice and education. The truly beautiful stairway is one that beckons us to use it—the same applies to sidewalks, parks, bike lanes, playgrounds, and public transportation.”
(Daniel S. Friedman, PhD, FAIA Dean, College of Built Environments, University of Washington )

(John Norquist President of the Congress for the New Urbanism and former Mayor of Milwaukee, Wi )
