The document discusses the relationship between the built environment, public health, and climate change. It summarizes that the built environment can influence public health issues like obesity through factors like urban design that impact physical activity levels. Examples show associations between increased walking/biking and decreased obesity/respiratory disease. The document also discusses the financial and environmental costs of automobile dependence and provides suggestions for more sustainable transportation and consumption choices that yield health and economic co-benefits.
