Measuring the Health Effects of Sprawl A National Analysis of Physical Activity, Obesity, and Chronic Disease
This new report
from Smart Growth America and the Surface Transportation Policy Project
presents the first national study to show that people who live in
counties marked by sprawl-style development tend to weigh more, are more
likely to be obese and are more likely to suffer from high blood
pressure.
The Surface Transportation Policy Project is a nationwide network of more than 800
organizations, including planners, community development organizations, and advocacy groups,
devoted to improving the nation’s transportation system.
