Neighborhood and Built Environment

Neighborhood and Built Environment refers to the physical characteristics of the places where people live and work. This includes infrastructure like roads, parks, and public buildings, as well as the design of homes and businesses. It greatly impacts our daily lives, influencing access to resources like healthy food, transportation, recreational spaces, and health services. A well-designed environment promotes community interaction, safety, and overall well-being, while poorly designed areas can contribute to challenges like isolation, health issues, or lack of access to essential services. Understanding this connection helps in creating healthier, more sustainable communities.
