 Over the years there has been increasing awareness of the synergies that exist and the "cause and effect" relationship between planning decisions and the impact these decisions have on the health of our community.
This awareness has raised genuine concerns that while the community,
collectively and individually, continues to pay the social and
financial health burden costs associated with various "lifestyle"
diseases such as diabetes, obesity and heart disease, various aspects
of planning and urban management continue to reinforce these unhealthy
and costly trends.
