Minnesota Healthy Planning: How-To Guide

Abstract

The Minnesota Healthy Planning How-To Guide includes eight desired health goals to create a sustainable, healthy community and 20 built environment strategies for achieving those desired health goals. This How-To Guide is a set of recommendations, not requirements. Not all strategies are applicable to every setting. The suggested planning practices and strategies to achieve the desired health goals and outcomes provide guidance for communities and planners, and should be adapted to fit each unique community.
