Streetscape Features Related to Pedestrian Activity
By measuring twenty streetscape features and numerous other variables for 588 blocks in New York City, we were able to identify variables that explain pedestrian traffic volumes. We found significant positive correlations between three out of twenty streetscape features with pedestrian counts after controlling for density and other built environmental variables. The significant streetscape features are the proportion of windows on the street, the…

Using health impact assessment in community development to improve air quality and public health
Air pollution contributes to asthma, allergies, lung function impairment, cardiovascular disease, and premature mortality. Transit-oriented development, roadway expansion, new residential and commercial development, and pollution mitigation projects impact local and regional air quality. This article discusses the use of Health Impact Assessment (HIA) by community advocates, public health and city planning departments, and regulatory agencies to …
Disparities in Neighborhood Food Environments
Public health researchers have begun to map the neighborhood "food environment" and examine its association with the risk of overweight and obesity. Some argue that "food deserts"-areas with little or no provision of fresh produce and other healthy food-may contribute to disparities in obesity, diabetes, and related health problems. While research on neighborhood food environments has taken advantage of more technically sophisticated ways to asse…

Neighborhood Food Environment and Walkability Predict Obesity in New York City
BACKGROUND: Differences in the neighborhood food environment may contribute to disparities in obesity. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to examine the association of neighborhood food environments with body mass index (BMI) and obesity after control for neighborhood walkability. METHODS: This study employed a cross-sectional, multilevel analysis of BMI and obesity among 13,102 adult residents of New York City. We constructed measures of …
