Washington Post Takes on Public Health Benefits of Built Environments

Wondering just how much where we live, work and play affects our health — and what cities and community organizations are doing to improve that environment?  The Washington Post recently wrote a great piece on that topic, and in it, they reference the 11th Street Bridge Park project — highlighted on this very blog back in March in a post authored by the organization’s director, Scott Kratz, called, “Connecting Health with Place.”

Kratz has promised us another update on the project in September, when the finalists will submit their final drawings for the competition.  Stay tuned.
