Design for Health is a collaboration between the University of Minnesota, Cornell University, and the University of Colorado that serves to bridge the gap between the emerging research base on community design and healthy living and the every-day realities of local government planning.

The first phase of Design for Health (2006-2008) created innovative, practice-oriented tools to help integrate human health into urban planning and environmental design in 19 partner communities. The second phase is focusing on tool development and public education.
