    Intersections: Health and the Built Environment Built Intersections: the and Health an we build our way to better health? Intersections: Health and the Built CEnvironment answers this question with a resounding yes. From community design that facilitates active living to fostering access to healthy foods and offer- ing building amenities that support active lifestyles, ULI members, partners, and other leaders in real estate and land use have a role to play in responding to one of the most pressing challenges of our day: health. Whether it’s adding trails and sidewalks to master-planned communities, recycling an abandoned rail line as public open space, or building new food desti- nations, developers, architects, planners, and others are working together to add both health and value to the metropolitan landscape. This publication explores global health trends and makes the link between those trends and what has been happening to our built environment. Leading thinkers—a developer, an architect, a doctor, and an advocate—share their in- sights on where the relationship between health and development is going. And innovative approaches and projects that are helping to move the needle on health are showcased. Global health challenges are daunting.
