Designing Healthy Communities, the companion book to the acclaimed public television documentary, highlights how we design the built environment and its potential for addressing and preventing many of the nation's devastating childhood and adult health concerns. Dr. Richard Jackson highlights seven healthy community designs achieved by planners, designers, and community leaders working together, including, including Boulder, Colorado. Ultimately, Dr. Jackson encourages all of us to make the kinds of positive changes highlighted in this book.

Active Communities / Transportation Research Group (ACT) is highlighted in the chapter on Boulder for our work on understanding how people make residential location decisions and the travel implications of those decisions. “It is all about trying to further the research that promotes active communities as well as active transportation,” Dr. Krizek explains.
