Using chips depicting flood reduction features and building types, groups of participants will map complete communities in an environment that has constraints such as a 100-year floodplain, forested areas, water bodies, and agricultural land. Hear participants discuss the development choices they made and their consequences on the natural environment and the communities. | | MP3 | | $20.00 | | $20.00 | |

(2 hour session) Active transportation, food access, social cohesion… These buzz words represent important issues for community health, but how do they become part of a real place? One of the most critical places to start is comprehensive planning. This session describes the role of the comprehensive plan and ways to integrate health at this level. National trends for including health in planning is covered through an overview of how well comprehensive plans currently address health across the country. A local example will come from El Paso, TX, one of the first major cities in the U.S. to include a stand-alone health element in its plan. Using Plan El Paso as a model, participants will learn about opportunities to advance community discussion and policies that link the built environment to physical and mental wellbeing. | | MP3 | | $20.00 | | $20.00 | |
