Designing Healthy Environments Across Communities and Generations

Speakers: Leslie Meehan, AICP, Director of Healthy Communities Design Initiative, National Center for Environmental Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; Angela Russell, MS, Community Engagement Lead, University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute; Erika Svendsen, PhD, Research Social Scientist, U.S Forest Service, Northern Research Station; Maria Valenti, National Coordinator, Collaborative on Health and the Environment; Arthur Wendel, MD, MPH, CDR USPHS, Healthy Community Design Initiative; Team Lead, National Center for Environmental Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Where and how we live, eat, work, play and socialize profoundly influence our health across the life span. It’s hard to lead a healthy life if you don’t live in a healthy community. The health of communities depends on many factors – including the built and natural environments, access to healthy food, environmental hazards, individual health behaviors, education and jobs, income, family and community support and access to and quality of health care. Within this context, we cannot view health as an individual concern or in a single moment or stage of life. We need to understand and address health as a whole system with interacting factors in constant feedback loops. The County Health Rankings & Roadmaps program brings community leaders and residents together to improve health. This session combines ecological health approaches with information from the Roadmaps program to discuss strategies, actions and partnerships to improve individual and community health.

Still Starbucks-Free: Rural Main Streets—Small towns need vitality, too!

Speakers: Kathy Callies, Acting President, Rural Learning Center; Dennis (Denny) Ross, Mayor, City of Maupin, OR; JoAnne Bush, Mayor, City of Lake Village, AR; Chris Beck, Senior Projects Advisor, U.S.D.A.-Rural Development

Given the global economy's demand for greater economic efficiencies (fewer small farmers) and environmentally sound natural resource practices (less extraction), many rural communities are facing a dramatic shift in the economic opportunities available to them. Starbucks may not be coming any time soon, but rural leaders understand that creating great places to live and work is an essential ingredient to their economic future and have requested USDA funding for strategic, place-based investments. This session focuses on three case studies: a new meeting center in Howard, South Dakota, a revived market in Maupin, Oregon, and a historic renovation in Lake Village, Arkansas.

Is the Sky Falling? Transportation Debate

Speakers: Laura Cohen, Western Region Director, Rails-to-Trails Conservancy; James Corless, Director, Transportation for America; Greg Cox, Supervisor, San Diego County, CA; Shireen Malekafzali, Senior Associate, Policylink

Transit and bike/pedestrian funding programs are at risk; equity and livable community policy incentives proposed by stakeholders may be swept aside. The current extension bill expires March 31 and the stakes have never been higher. This session will provide smart growth practitioners with an update on the status of the bill, how it will impact communities in short & long term, and what steps they can take to influence the bill or how it's implemented in their region. The focus will be on transit/walking/biking programs, and livable community performance measures.
