In the 21st century, designers can again play a crucial role in combating the most rapidly growing public health epidemics of our time: obesity and its impact on related chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and some cancers. Today, physical inactivity and unhealthy diet are second only to tobacco as the main causes of premature death in the United States. A growing body of research suggests that evidence-based architectural and urban design strategies can increase regular physical activity and healthy eating. The Active Design Guidelines provides architects and urban designers with a manual of strategies for creating healthier buildings, streets, and urban spaces, based on the latest academic research and best practices in the field including urban design strategies for creating neighborhoods, streets, and outdoor spaces that encourage walking, bicycling, and active transportation and recreation, and building design strategies for promoting active living where we work and live and play -- for example, through the placement and design of stairs, elevators, and indoor and outdoor spaces -- 0aCity planningxHealth aspectszNew York (State)zNew York. 0aCity planningxEnvironmental aspectszNew York (State)zNew York. 0aStreetscapes (Urban design)zNew York (State)zNew York. 0aSustainable architecturezNew York (State)zNew York.1 aNew York (N.Y.)1 aNew York (N.Y.).bDepartment of Design and Construction.1 aNew York (N.Y.).bDepartment of Health and Mental Hygiene.1 aNew York (N.Y.).bDepartment of Transportation.1 aNew York (N.Y.).bDepartment of City Planning.1 aNew York (N.Y.).bOffice of the Mayor.
