Urban Planning & Public Policy

Design for Health is a two-phase project that studies the link between health and the design of the physical environment. A collaborative effort between the University of Minnesota, Cornell University, and the University of Colorado, this project seeks to bridge the gap between research and what programs and policies local governments can implement to ensure improved design and health.

RUDI provides online resources including general information, research articles, indexes of urban design publications, book reviews, training materials, and more. This is a helpful resource for those needing and introduction to urban design and more in-depth, topical information.
