Urban design and health: A guide to relevant resources for planning

This guide is a supplement to the Environments for Health (2001) planning framework and the Practical Guide to Municipal Public Health Planning (2009). This guide introduces features in our built environments that influence population health and wellbeing, along with some suggested resources which can be used by local planners to make improvements. Complementing this guide is the Climate change and health guide, also available on the Local Government health and wellbeing webpage http://www3.health.vic.gov.au/localgov/.
