9.A.1) Strengthen coordination between health and planning boards/agencies

Advocates, officials, and individuals have been increasingly recognizing the connection between the built environment and public health concerns such as obesity and chronic disease, as well as problems related to pedestrian and bicycle safety, water quality, air quality, and social isolation and even depression.
To create safe and healthy communities, people must partner across agencies and among sectors.  These increased partnerships will together ensure that communities are designed in ways that improve health outcomes for all their residents. 

1.a    Boards of Health should adopt resolutions designed to improve cooperation between local health boards and planning departments.

1.b    MAPC should sponsor joint trainings for local public health and planning board members on a sub-regional level
