The ‘Healthy by Design’ resource, produced by the Heart Foundation (Victorian Division) aims to provide practical guidance to planners, especially those working for or with local governments, to enable them to plan for active communities.
‘Healthy by Design’ was recently cited in the World Health Organisation international report, Closing the gap in generations, in the focus area of health equity in policies, systems and programs, as an example of "involving the entire community including local government in designing spaces that encourage walking and cycling."
