The LA Times covers the link between built environments and health. nothing startling here - building communities where people can walk to retail, schools, restaurants, parks results in better health. the article does provide a nice roundup of local efforts in CA and elsewhere to increase walking, promote biking and build walker-friendly environments, as well as the scary, scary stats we've come to know and love on obesity in this country.
