Niche to Norm: The Value of Active Places
More communities across the nation are joining the active living movement. They recognize the importance of creating places where it is easier, safer, and more attractive for people of all ages to walk, bike, and play. In playgrounds and parks, schools and streets, people are implementing evidence-based changes to increase physical activity, improve health, and create more equitable and vibrant communities. Be informed and inspired by this panel of leaders who have been instrumental in making active living the norm.
