Health by Design

Pulaski County, we're coming to you! 🚶‍♀️🚲 Join us on June 30 for an Active Living Workshop at the Cultural Center at the Pulaski County Historical Society. The full-day workshop is free and open to community members, local officials, planners, and anyone interested in making Pulaski County a healthier, more active place to live. You'll hear from experts, take part in group discussions, and join a walk audit to see your community through a new lens. Registration is required https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/active-living-workshop-pulaski-county
This workshop is hosted in partnership with the Pulaski County Indiana Health Department, Indiana Department of Health, Indiana Department of Transportation, and the Community Foundation of Pulaski County.

"The civil engineer who specifies a twelve-foot lane instead of a ten. The architect who orients a mixed-use building toward the parking lot rather than the sidewalk. The developer who builds eighty garden apartments wrapped around surface parking— but no playground or public spaces. The planner who rezones a historic neighborhood for single-family detached only. Each of these practitioners is making a public health decision— whether or not it appeared in the project scope, whether or not they trained for it, whether or not they would describe their work that way at a dinner party or on their CV."

You’re already practicing public health Places shape people and determine health outcomes. Those who shape the public realm are health practitioners, and this needs to be more widely understood.
